PIXELATED LINES IN PROCREATE? (4 tips you need to know!)

[@colorwithkendi]

Do you love the convenience of creating art in Procreate, but miss the textures and visual interest of traditional media? If so, check out the custom brushes I use in my own work: www.colorwithkendi.com/procreate-brushes These brush sets blend the best of both worlds! I have a lot of fun using them and I'm sure you will too!

[@Painroses]

so basically move things in the sketch as much as you like but when you do the final lineart just don't or you'll end up a little blurry each time

[@colorwithkendi]

Yes. Try not to resize or move final parts of the illustration as much.

You are a saviour! Didn't realise that my current brush was the problem, thanks for helping me find other ones to use! I'll be subscribing and listening to you forever! ❤❤

Great video. I create book covers for print. Typically, 6 x 6 and 8.5 x 11 inches. I work at full size and 300 DPI. I just started using Procreate.

Thank you 😊

[@kawhhs4088]

i wanna know how to avoid like pixlily lines when using the automatic selection tool

[@colorwithkendi]

Can you share a video example of what you mean?

[@kawhhs4088]

theres a video on my channel now, sorry for the bad quality

[@colorwithkendi]

I watched your video and the only thing I can think of is that maybe the canvas size is causing that. I haven’t had that happen when I use the automatic selection. I usually paint in 8 by 10 inches or larger and 300 dpi. What is your canvas size and dpi resolution?

[@kawhhs4088]

@@colorwithkendi well usually i use the screen size one. that one on the video does have a smaller canvas but i assure you that even on larger canvas sizes its still very rough, with no inbetween pixels to smooth it out

[@kawhhs4088]

and dpi is default i think, since i just had to look up what that means lol. but dont worry about trying to figure it out. its less noticeable if the image is higher quality so maybe thats it but it doesnt really matter

[@Nutellacat]

thank you!!

[@colorwithkendi]

You're welcome!

[@juhazzolini4487]

It helps me a loooot

[@annadreamsart9756]

Thank you.

[@bhargavupadhyay7589]

Hello, can you please suggest how the sketching sound works while sketching???

[@colorwithkendi]

It’s from the screen protector.

[@keerthana7353]

My canvas size is 4K with 300 dpi, but some brushes still have very jagged pixel lines

[@colorwithkendi]

Are they default Procreate brushes?

[@Dreamyaurora.]

My maximum layer can’t be edited how do I fix that ?

[@colorwithkendi]

Use a slightly smaller canvas if you want more layers. Layer limit is related to your canvas size, dpi and your iPad model.

[@birdygosser9812]

How can u smooth out lines that have already been made blurry?

[@colorwithkendi]

That's not possible in Procreate, based off what I know. You can do it in Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop by exporting the Procreate canvas as a .PSD and then importing into Illustrator/Photoshop. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGe4m5tsqbKco6c

[@tanjinaakter287]

Px or inch what should i use for web or digital illustration and other art? Also suggest me a canvas size that i can use my all art work…. Thanks ❤

[@colorwithkendi]

It really depends on what you're making your end result for. I made my for printing, so I go with inches, but if you're not planning to print you can go with px. I use 8 by 10 inches for all my illustrations.

[@abhilashagupta7507]

Hy . actually my monoline brush is olwys get pixleted when I drew ..i don't knw why? From Last few days this happen with me. I hv face so many problems..i can't draw nothing..bcoz whenever I drew olwys get result pixleted

[@colorwithkendi]

What’s the dimensions of the canvas you are using to draw?

[@giovannarolla2403]

Why scale up do that Thievy of pixelate the image? Is no solutiion?

[@colorwithkendi]

Scaling up pixelates all images in any pixel based program such as Procreate. The only way to avoid pixelation is to use a vector based program if you do intend to scale up your design.

[@blablablahh612]

Hello can you please provide some suggestions as to what should I do to avoid pixelation in procreate I am working with a canvas size of 1128 x 191 pixels ?

[@colorwithkendi]

Your canvas size is too small and that’s the reason for pixelation. I generally work at a much larger size (8 by 10 inches) and at a 300 dpi resolution setting. The smallest size I would use to avoid pixelation is at least 2000 px wide. And at 300 dpi.

[@blablablahh612]

Oh but then what should I do if I want to design a 7 by 7 inch invite in procreate 😭

[@colorwithkendi]

7 inch by 7 inch at 300 dpi is fine. That’s the equivalent of 2100 px by 2100 px.

[@blablablahh612]

Thank you for such a quick response sorry for pestering you again but like I still get pixelated strokes when I zoom just a little bit on a 7 by 7 inch canvas when using procreates sketching/calligraphy or line brushes any suggestions for that have watch numerous tutorials no luck with that though :/ Also is it possible to make invites on bigger canvas size and then resize it on to a smaller sized canvas if yes then how ? (Again sorry for my silly questions but haven't found any tutorials to avoid pixelations and canvas resizing on KZbin that worked for me or maybe it's just my fault :/

[@colorwithkendi]

Procreate is a pixel based program so at any size if you zoom in enough, you will see pixels. What matters more is how something prints.

[@user-ip8mo4kr1u]

How? My monoline is still losing quality at 10x10 inches

[@colorwithkendi]

Are you at 300 dpi?

[@eze3572]

I understand quality is important but seems like the pixelation is so minimal it really doesn’t matter in my opinion.

[@colorwithkendi]

When a piece is printed, it’s quite apparent.
