Sizing for poses

Post by fireplanetz »

Hey guys!

It's been a long while since I made poses and I was wondering what tips yall might have when it comes to sizing.

Things I struggle with
1. Figuring out what size canvas to start with. For most artwork I use a 4000x3000 canvas, but I can't really use that for poses as the detail suffers so much when sizing down.
2. What size/shape brushes should I use to keep the lines from losing integrity when sized down.
3. What parameters I should be using when creating the canvas I'm working on. I don't know much about DPI or resolution stuff. I use Procreate for drawing.
4. What parameters to use when resizing. Everything I size down ends up looking super blurry and loses a lot of detail. I use GIMP for resizing.

Any help would be appreciated!

Oh snap, i dont have much help as im kinda in the same boat and wanna follow this.

I use procreate as well, and typically i draw on pretty big canvases.. like 2000 px + so resized, my art seems to be really blurry. sharpening the pose makes it just kinda weird.

id think maybe start with trying on smaller canvases, like 1500 x 1500 ?
