How To Choose A Canvas Size • All About Pixels, Dimensions, And Resolution • Digital Art & Print

[@kylameyer3820]

This video was amazing I've been doing digital art for a while and I could never understand why it looked so pixelated, but other people that used the same program as me artwork looks amazing

[@giovilela_art]

same lol

[@dandyalifnugroho113]

As dumb as me before watching this tutorial hehe

[@randyiron2]

I very much appreciate the straight forwardness of this video. It’s very hard watching videos with off topic info added into the mix. I’m going to subscribe and watch with my little girl. We both have been learning digital art together. I also like showing her classy, bright and happy female role models for her to look up to. This channel fits with all of the positive attributes. Awesome 👏

[@GenevievesDesignStudio]

Big (gentle) hug to your little girl from me 🤍 Thank you so much for the kind words, they really mean a lot!

[@xo_stormwolf_]

Came here because I was struggling with pixelation and was wanting to learn the exact inner workings of dimensions affecting pixelation and I have to say THANK YOU. The way you explained and helped me visualize this more clearly was immensely helpful!! A lifesaver🙏🏽✨✨

[@GenevievesDesignStudio]

YAY 🥳 So glad I could help, Stephany! 🤍

[@Chuleta_9]

Thank you SO much for the way you explained everything from scratch. I needed to know what size canvas I should use, and instead of giving us a standard size, you taught us how to know which size to use for each different project. Definitely subscribed. Thanks again :)

[@GenevievesDesignStudio]

So glad this was helpful! Welcome on the channel 🥳🤍

[@divabydezine177]

Thank you for making this video, I was struggling so much because my images look very pixelated and I didn’t know why. I have a few that I’d like to print out and put in a frame and I was really concerned about them being pixelated. I needed this information so badly thank you!

[@stickperson286]

This is the first thing I've ever found that explained how the pixels translate to real life measurements, really helpful

[@kaylabea61]

I’ve been wanting to invest more time into digital art after having procreate for a while and I appreciate this video for all the helpful tips and information, thank you!!!

[@sonnyboyd10]

Wow. That DPI really helped. I had a ton of trouble trying to get my first children's book pictures to fit perfectly on the page. With KDP. But with this x 300 thing. I can skip all the struggle and get the perfect canvas right from the beginning.

[@ashtonsquires3102]

How’s it going? I’m illustrating my first childrens book for KDP too!

[@sstellaalexandraa]

Straight to the point and so clear, love this! Thank you for the information

[@anandalange]

Im so happy i found this i thought is was because of my ipad and was making me want to buy a new one!

[@eritaly]

Really thank you so Much for EXIST. All the times i search the Canvas and finally i can understand why .. have a nice day big hugs from Italy 😻👗👠🌼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chillmoaitunes1262]

"magic formula" section was what i was looking for! ohh i search that so much! i love you!

[@adrianabarrios5317]

Finally someone who explains pixels, resolution etc, very informative video, thank you so much.

[@GILGAMASK5677]

Thank you for this!! I'll keep it in mind when making character designs and be using the lessons I've learned here for future works 😊😊

[@sissonor]

These curls 😙

[@sunflowershan420]

At 8:00 you said you wouldn’t get into it but it’s exactly what I need to understand ☹️ do you have a video explaining more of this? I have to do a huge scale print of a digital art work and it’s showing too blurry 😭😭😭

[@renemc6530]

I finally got a simplier explaination i hope it works for me.. Ty for sharing 💗💗

[@JMulvy]

One of the best explanations of how resolution does and does not work. If I had a baffled client, I would direct them towards this video. Btw the "strength" of the iPad is directly related to the RAM of the iPad. Apple generally does not give that spec information that you would get from a windows or android device, but recently has started to provide it because app developers need to know, especially for Procreate. Also, it should be mentioned that the Pro versions of iPad are best suited for use with Procreate because even if say an Air has 6GB of RAM, app devs can only utilize about 4GB (on par with the Mini) because apple locks off the rest of the RAM so the OS can operate. So a Pro with 8GB of RAM will be able to utilize about 6GB of RAM, providing a more smooth and less limited performance. THAT DOES NOT MEAN anything less than a Pro is not suitable for Procreate, it is just not optimized for it. Especially without the M1 processor.

[@marisssArt]

i love the way you explain !! so interactive, and you voice is so nice

[@GenevievesDesignStudio]

Thank you so much, Marisa! 🤍

[@rosembergmartins2551]

[@corneliatomson1506]

I've seen by far many videos about how to choose our camvas and have high resolution artworks,yours was literally the best by far,crystal clear to understand!! Thank you so much!! Btw what camvas size would you recommend for detailed portraits in procreate? I will post them on insta and I am worrying about the resolution..

[@Dahlface77]

Just awesome. Love that it is explained it in an understandable way. You are such a great help with all your video's sharing your knowledge. Thank you!

[@AnthonyWade7]

This makes a lot of sense, can’t wait to try it out! Thanks!

[@rin524]

I know I’m late! But if you do know, I use Twitter to post art and whenever I post I mainly use canvas size 2000x2000 between 3000x3000 or something else with a dpi of 300-350. It’ll look smooth on my iPad when I see it on Twitter but when I go on computer and look at it, it’s more blurry and not that great looking as it is on iPad. Any explanations or ways I can make it smoother both on iPad and computer and also any suggestions for canvas size? I don’t know too well and I stopped using Instagram after how blurry it got and how instas cropping wasn’t too great.

[@din3772]

Thank you this is the information I've been searching for 🌟😩💯👏

[@diverspudph1310]

Super helpful (and non-complex!) Thank you!

[@TheQuarkQuark]

thanks so much for this! you make it very easy to understand

[@rosieb777]

thank so so much for this video🫶🏻 when i started using procreate i got super overwhelmed but ur explanation was so on point and very clear ✨

[@Mr.J_aust]

Very useful... Make more videos regarding procreate and iPad tips..

[@sadhairlineboiking4587]

Very formative video, love it ❤

[@ElisabethBaxter]

You are so sweet and so helpful! Thank you!!!

[@criminalminded6480]

Thank you best explanation I’ve heard. Now I really understand🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@tezzasbigbuz3933]

Easy way around limit to layers save the work you are doing export start again insert it as layer then start layering again with the limit started fresh if you know what I mean

[@amittalele7576]

You explained it so well!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@khadeejaabid8409]

Hey! What canvas size should be for Instagram reels? And reels cover pls??

[@margievanhandel259]

Genevieve, I so love your enthusiasm; it brings such joy to watching your tutorials. I do have a couple inquires. I've been creating in Procreate and sharing only digitally. I would now like to offer digital printables. I'm finding if I create in Procreate on a 8.5x11 canvas at 300dpi, when I export it, it comes into my files as 96dpi. Also, can you export an entire document as a png with white background? Seems as though it doesn't matter if my background layer is turned off or not. I always ends up with a transparent one. And finally, I would love for you to do a tutorial that really explains the individual blend modes. Thanks for any suggestions. They would be greatly appreciated.

[@Tima.tots850]

This has helped quite a bit with procreate

[@sanichkaaa93]

You explained it so good! Thank you! ❤️

[@donnamcevoy5052]

Very helpful and easy to follow tutorial! Thanks

[@deesekai07]

[@conniehernandez9728]

You are awesome! Thank you so much!!!! ❤

[@meerakanakammamohan]

Thank you so much. Finally found a useful tutorial!!

[@matthewwilson410]

I really liked this video. Lots of explanation. The part where she mentions the amount of layers able to be used depends on what I Pad you have and resolution... I was wondering if anyone knows how significant the upgrade in I Pad model would make as far as how many layers it could handle in procreate?

[@Chuleta_9]

Brad Colbow has a few videos on that in his channel. I hope I wrote the name right, he’s changed it a few times. Brad Cowboy is another name he used. I know it has to do with RAM and the 8gb - 16gb the iPad comes with. Also has to do with the storage capacity. But he explains it well, I’m not so technological xD.

[@GenevievesDesignStudio]

Hi Matthew! I talk a more about that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIqyepiFl8-Zq9E That being said, @Chuleta is right, Brad Colbow has really great iPad reviews on his channel 🤍

I’m struggling, I use Affinity designer and illustrator and Procreate and even though I make a canvas of 33.1x46.8 inches (A0) with 300 dpi, when I upload it it says it can only print at full quality up to 18x24 inches? Someone please help!

Thank you ! Do you know the size for procreate canvas when making digital art for a MacBook Pro wallpaper? I’m struggling to find the size

[@hannahjordan2908]

Hello! I loved this video and very much look forward to trying out some of your tutorials. I am beginning my art print store where my prints will be available for download. I work in procreate so I am wondering if you have tips on ensuring the best quality for print if there are certain texture brushes that are better than others. I was trying to figure out vectors but I find that you just can't get the same textures that way. Do you think it is necessary to make all prints vectors in order to be printed?

[@davidmay9779]

Impressive explanation.

[@castleofcostamesa8291]

Thank you very much!

[@DavyPWN]

sooo many good info , but my ocd trying to kill me when I didn't see your full head because it cutted by camera xD

[@SB-hk3ew]

Does anyone know how good the standard settings for 8.5x11 perform in procreate? The settings seem to be different than what she calculated in the formula

[@LionOfKingston]

Just subscribe because I need to get better on digital and for starting to upload for instagram etc

[@fatimameher268]

If I want to print two separate sizes of the same artwork, (let's say 9"*12* and 6”*8”) 1. Then while drawing it in procreate, I should choose a canvas size of the bigger print dimension I.e. 9”*12” right? Then I can easily reduce the size for the smaller print dimension i.e 6”*8” without compromising quality. 2. In order change pint size of same picture, do I have to always keep same ratio?

[@redrocker109]

THANK YOU

[@luigi9388]

hi, I have to make a high resolution illustration that will have to be printed 50x70 cm. How do you recommend setting up the canvas in procreate? do you recommend using photoshop?

[@SosaInk]

So pretty.. details pretty details 😂

[@enderpearl5971]

Thanks a lot 👍

[@juljondo5344]

good job !! keep going :)

[@notme989]

Great video. Do most prints that you buy at IKEA or some other online store print the art using 300 DPI quality?

[@catcat6060]

Hi this was a really helpful video thank you… I want to print some art on canvas of 32 x 47 inches so I just do 32 x 300 and vice versa to get the size I need in px? If I change the DPI to a higher number than 300 would that skew the picture? Or should it always be 300. I also heard to change to CMYK to RGB would you recommend that too?

[@francesrogers7632]

That's amazing and so clearly and well explained, thank you so much!! Just discovered you and you are by far the best I've seen ☺ I was wondering if you can use the same resolution for both t shirt printing and logo for instagram etc or do you have to change it??!!
