Dude that’s really really dood! There are a lot of good Photoshop tutorials out there but none of them shows a good painting skill like this. Everyone is good with photo effects and desinging website banners but only a very little few can draw and paint a picture like that from scratch. Cheers!

Hello Chris!

I usually work at 300DPI resolution. The standard, at least in the comics and magazine/book publishing industry.

Do you scan your drawings on paper at a resolution higher than 300 DPI? Maybe that could be the problem?

From my experience, 300 DPI is enough for most digital/print work.

If I understood your question correctly, you work on files sized at 30�40cm which at 300 DPI should equal to 4724 x 5906 pixels. It�s large, but not that large to require brushes of 300 pixel width to outline elements in the page. In fact, a 300 pixel wide brush stroke would appear fairly large on an image of that size. If you were using a resolution higher than 300 DPI, let�s say 600.. then it could be a problem, but I never had to scale to that resolution so far.

I hope this helps. If not, can you give me more details on the size of your images, in pixels?

Thanks!

Roberto

p.s. Yes� Deluxe Paint III.. the myth! I was 14 when I started using it in 1988.. ahhh� this brings me back to the stone age of comnputer graphics

Hi! Great site and tutorials - but I’d like to ask you for some basics, and would be glad to have them answered by an professional like you.

I’ve already done a few illustrations and all went good (most of them are not on the page linked) - but I’am always faced with the major problem of: how to get started?
And I don’t mean the sketch of first paint strokes, but just the question of the formats!

Since I do for digital publishing, but also want to keep them always ready for printing on paper, I need big sizes for the picture.
So I mostly sketch or draw the illustration which has to be done on paper and scan it with an minimum of 300 Dpi and a print size of minimum 40×50cm.
And thats where the problems beginn!
Mostly I’am forced to use an oversized brush of 300 and more pixels for the hard lines, and if I want to do details within a big illustration it seems to be a work for lifetime.

I’ave searched an answer to this question for a long time, but never found an information about these important questions about formatting the illustration!

Thank you in advance,
Chris
