Hello all,

Any Custom Decor artists out there using Procreate? I am trying to make decors using Procreate, but I find my lineart is badly pixelated. Any idea how to get around this? I’ve heard changing the DPI of the canvas can help, however I’m not sure if there’s a “standard DPI” that works best for non pixelated lineart? Maybe you have some tips on using this app for decor creation?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!

Hey! I use procreate for all my CDs.

My canvas settings used to just be standard Lioden sizing of 640x500 with 300DPI. This definitely worked as all my older CDs still hold up pretty well. I have since switched to using a slightly larger canvas and then resizing it in Photoshop. The current canvas size I use is 960x750 still with 300DPI. Doing this you can get that extra detail without the quality loss but if you don't have PS or another good resizer, you should be alright with the 640x500 canvas. It also really helps to use a softer brush than you would think. I use to use the small medium/soft airbrush for all mine lineart and still use it for larger pieces.

But tbh, the pixelation is kinda just something you have to learn to ignore. Lioden art is pretty pixely and is kinda jarring to work with at first but it gets easier the longer you do it :)
