![]() ![]() I always export to 72 dpi for the web in the end, anyway. ![]() I tend to draw at 600 dpi, which is likely overkill, but it’s always easier to shrink something than to make it larger. If you’re drawing something simple for the web only, you can get away with 72, but realize you’ll never be able to blow that up cleanly to anything larger, unless you’re using vector brushes only. It’s a printable dpi should you later decide to print something, and it gives you enough fine grain control to zoom in and add details without letting you go so small that you waste time on things nobody will ever see. It’s not just an awesome Frank Miller comic. We return you now to your less mathematically challenging tutorial… Which DPI Do I pick? If you have the measurements showing in inches, multiple that by the dots (pixels) per inch to get the number of pixels in the dimension.Ħ00 dots ( pixels) per inch x 10 inches = 6000 pixels If you’re drawing at 600 dpi and your canvas is 6000 pixels wide, do the math:Ħ000 pixels / 600 dots ( pixels) per inch = 10 inches. Remember that DPI stands for dots per inch. You can convert from pixels to inches pretty easily. (If you are emulating Todd, be sure to use a Copic Marker brush to color it in!) Or, Do The Math If you’re the type to emulate Todd Nauck and draw on Post-It Notes, then set it to 3″ x 3″ or 4″ x 4″. That can go anywhere from 6″ squares to 20″ x 24″ If your plan is to paint digitally with Clip Studio Paint - and the brush tools are an awesome fit for that - then look at real world canvas sizes. You can buy a two dollar template for this kind of thing, if you’re so interested.) (They usually draw inside a 10″ x 15″ section of that. If you want to be a professional comic artist, you might want to work at something close to the standard 11″ x 17″ pages that comic artists use. If you live in your sketchbook, then maybe you’re looking more at 5.5″ x 8.5″ or 11″ x 14″. I bet for most people that’ll be 8.5″ x 11″. Change the canvas size to handle something you’re drawing for a specific space.īut when you’re starting? Set the width and height to the size of the paper you draw on most now. Mix things up once in a while to test new things. Start with an aspect ratio you’re familiar with.ĭon’t stick with it forever. Let me give you my shortcut idea.ĭo you have a sketchbook you draw in all the time? Do you just use random sheets of paper you steal out of the printer? But What Canvas Size Do You Choose?Īs is the answer to so many other questions like this, the answer is a solid, “It depends.”īut that’s not what you want to hear. I often draw in my sketchbook in landscape orientation, so I’ll switch those dimensions around often. The white silhouette will change along with the numbers. If you’d rather reverse the dimensions to create a wider page than tall, click the arrows to the left of the Width and Height options ( 4). To get an idea of the dimensions of the canvas you’re choosing, there’s a white silhouette of the page ( 5) in the window. A4, for example, is the closest to 8.5″ x 11″ that you’ll get. ( 2) You’ll likely want to use “in” for inches, or “px” for pixels.Ĭhoosing “in” means you have an easy way to tell the difference between A4, A5, A6, B4, B5, and B6 sizes ( 3). That’s in a drop down all the way over on the far right side of the window. Second, you need to pick what measurement you’re using to find these page sizes. Click on the one to the far left to tell CSP you just want to have a canvas to doodle on. That’s what those five lineart-filled squares at the top of the window are for ( 1). You’re not looking to do an animation or create a comics page or a Webtoon style vertical scroll comic or make an entire comic book (which you can’t do in CSP Pro, anyway.) It’s essentially been the same window, functionally, for years now.įirst, you need to tell CSP that you just want to draw on the screen. Older versions have some very minor differences. This is the window you’ll see in CSP v 1.10.10. You can use the menu and navigate to File -> New or use the keyboard shortcut CMD-N (Mac) or CTRL-N (Windows) Let’s talk about optimizing for user happiness and end product usefulness. You’d be surprised how big a file it can handle before things start to slow down. You need to choose values to balance out your drawing needs versus the strength of your computer.Ĭlip Studio Paint is not a horrible memory hog, though. ![]() Smaller canvases will be easier for a computer to store in memory and lead to a faster computer experience. Higher DPIs will allow you to publish your image at larger physical sizes. It is all a matter of personal preference, most often informed by experience.
