Show your workings.
Turn every piece in your portfolio into the story of how it was made. Visitors step from thumbnail to final, compare any two stages side by side, and read your note on each one.

Five stages. One picture.
This is how a piece looks in Workings. Scroll, and it steps from the first grey blocks to the finished painting, with the artist's note on each stage.
-
Stage 1 of 5 · Thumbnail Rough blocks settle the tall tower against the low horizon. -
Stage 2 of 5 · Sketch Loose lines place the lantern room, the rocks and the waterline. -
Stage 3 of 5 · Line art Clean outlines fix the tower's taper and the lantern's roof. -
Stage 4 of 5 · Colour study Flat colour tests warm dusk light against the cold sea. -
Stage 5 of 5 · Final Gradient sky and ink edges finish the scene.
Three steps, no setup.

For your visitors
Made for the people looking.
Step through every stage.
Previous and next, a slider to scrub, a strip of thumbnails to jump, and the arrow keys for anyone without a mouse. Each stage is labelled with where it sits and what it is.
Compare any two stages.
Put the sketch beside the final and see what changed. Comparing starts on the first and last stages, and the two sides never show the same one. On a phone they stack.
Filter by technique or tool.
Visitors who came for your ink work can see only the ink work. Pick a technique, a tool, or both.

Made for the person drawing.
Arrange it in the browser.
Add pieces and stages, upload PNG, JPEG or WebP images, write your notes, and reorder everything with Move up and Move down. Your name and tagline sit at the top of the site.
Saved as you go.
Every change saves in your browser the moment you make it. If saving ever fails, you are told, so you can export before anything is lost.
One file holds everything.
Export writes your pieces, notes and images to a single file. Import checks it before it replaces anything, and refuses a bad file with a plain message.
This is the real thing.
Below is Workings itself, running with its sample collection by the made-up artist Avery Lane. Open a piece, step through it, try Compare. Nothing you do here is saved anywhere but your own browser.
