how do you make your lines look so sharp and neat ππ is it the canvas size or the brushes or just the program? im struggling sm it bothers me how no matter what brush i use it looks either blurry or too pixely and my canvas is already around 4k x 4k or is that too small
I'm gonna hold your hand while I say this: my canvas is on average 1000x1200px or something around that, I very rarely work bigger π«£
It might have to do with the software or brush engine used tbh, I know it makes a huge difference for me if I use CSP or something like Photoshop for instance. Clip studio paint is my favourite and she never betrays me when it comes to the brush feel.
It could also be your brush settings specifically, but without specific details it's hard to say what setting exactly may cause you to feel that it's too smooth/too pixelated. If you use a tool like CSP, you can always do what I do and download a million brushes from the asset store to compare LMAO. Some brushes are designed to be used in bigger sizes and look completely different to me (my brush size tends to be 3-10px max), some are great for small canvases, etc
Sorry to butt in OP... But just in case this is useful for other artists like it was for me: This might be an antialiasing issue! In CSP there's a brush setting called "Anti-aliasing" that has several levels, it looks like this:
(If you don't see it right away, you can go to your "sub-tool detail" window (π§) and you'll find it under the Anti-aliasing menu)
The gist of it is that for extra crisp lineart, sometimes you may want to use the least amount of Anti-aliasing possible, or not at all. That way you avoid that "blurry" look on your lines.
This is more or less what the difference looks like. Mind you, it IS pretty subtle up close, but it can still make a difference in the overall feel of the brush, especially if you're working with a higher DPI.
And if everything else fails... you can still use the "Sharpen" filter on your lineart. It's especially useful when you've resized the lineart at some point and you want to get rid of that blurry look afterwards.
A bit of a rushed explanation, but hopefully this helps!ππ€π»π€
boosting it, thanks!
