The flow
10 Drawing in progress ARTIST
The Artist draws the artwork by hand, then uploads the scanned TIFF on their private page. A JPEG preview is generated automatically. When ready they click Mark as done and the order moves to review.

Rejection & rework loop
12 Drawing rejected → 10b Drawing rework. Ruben writes what should change, AI drafts the email to the Artist, Ruben reviews and sends. The Artist uploads a revised drawing and the order returns to state 11. Repeat until approved.

12b Artist pushback. If the Artist disagrees with the rejection, they can push back instead of reworking — they explain their reason and the order goes back to Ruben at state 11 to discuss.

Everything shows on the Artist's page. The Artist sees the Compositor's handoff notes, Ruben's change requests (note + reference images + the rejected drawing), and — when a change came from the client back in Phase D — the client's own feedback too. No separate emails to dig through.
↻ LOOP · 11 → 12 → 10b → 11 — repeat until approved (or 12 → 12b → 11 if the Artist pushes back)

GOOD TO KNOWLegacy tier = Ruben draws. For Legacy orders the Artist is Ruben himself; for Essential and Signature any active Artist can be assigned.
The Photoshop Expert is picked at approval, not before — same as the Artist pick in Phase B.
The customer is not involved in Phase C — they don't see the drawing until Phase D.
Pushback is meant to be rare — it exists so the Artist doesn't silently rework something they disagree with.
