YAY 🥳 So glad I could help, Stephany! 🤍
Thank you SO much for the way you explained everything from scratch. I needed to know what size canvas I should use, and instead of giving us a standard size, you taught us how to know which size to use for each different project. Definitely subscribed. Thanks again :)

Thank you for making this video, I was struggling so much because my images look very pixelated and I didn’t know why. I have a few that I’d like to print out and put in a frame and I was really concerned about them being pixelated. I needed this information so badly thank you!
I’ve been wanting to invest more time into digital art after having procreate for a while and I appreciate this video for all the helpful tips and information, thank you!!!
I very much appreciate the straight forwardness of this video. It’s very hard watching videos with off topic info added into the mix. I’m going to subscribe and watch with my little girl. We both have been learning digital art together. I also like showing her classy, bright and happy female role models for her to look up to. This channel fits with all of the positive attributes. Awesome 👏

Thank you so much. Finally found a useful tutorial!!
Wow. That DPI really helped. I had a ton of trouble trying to get my first children's book pictures to fit perfectly on the page. With KDP. But with this x 300 thing. I can skip all the struggle and get the perfect canvas right from the beginning.

Straight to the point. Amazing video, thank you!
great advices
Hello! I loved this video and very much look forward to trying out some of your tutorials. I am beginning my art print store where my prints will be available for download. I work in procreate so I am wondering if you have tips on ensuring the best quality for print if there are certain texture brushes that are better than others. I was trying to figure out vectors but I find that you just can't get the same textures that way. Do you think it is necessary to make all prints vectors in order to be printed?
woow you re so beautiful i neede like look away not to loose the point of what you're saying and just stare in awe . Thank you for detailed video that is really the information newbies are struggling with .
One of the best explanations of how resolution does and does not work. If I had a baffled client, I would direct them towards this video. Btw the "strength" of the iPad is directly related to the RAM of the iPad. Apple generally does not give that spec information that you would get from a windows or android device, but recently has started to provide it because app developers need to know, especially for Procreate. Also, it should be mentioned that the Pro versions of iPad are best suited for use with Procreate because even if say an Air has 6GB of RAM, app devs can only utilize about 4GB (on par with the Mini) because apple locks off the rest of the RAM so the OS can operate. So a Pro with 8GB of RAM will be able to utilize about 6GB of RAM, providing a more smooth and less limited performance. THAT DOES NOT MEAN anything less than a Pro is not suitable for Procreate, it is just not optimized for it. Especially without the M1 processor.
You explained it so well!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much! :)
THANKYOU FO THIS! This is very informative and straight to the point
Thanks a lot 👍
Thank you! :)
Thank you
Wow, thank you i pretty struggled with my canvas size :)
thank you
I love you 😍
Very useful... Make more videos regarding procreate and iPad tips..
Hi, this is a great video. I have a question. Do I use the same INCHXDPI=PIXEL calculation if I want to make the margin and bleed? I watched the other video of yours on how to create margins and bleeds.
Genevieve, I so love your enthusiasm; it brings such joy to watching your tutorials. I do have a couple inquires. I've been creating in Procreate and sharing only digitally. I would now like to offer digital printables. I'm finding if I create in Procreate on a 8.5x11 canvas at 300dpi, when I export it, it comes into my files as 96dpi. Also, can you export an entire document as a png with white background? Seems as though it doesn't matter if my background layer is turned off or not. I always ends up with a transparent one. And finally, I would love for you to do a tutorial that really explains the individual blend modes. Thanks for any suggestions. They would be greatly appreciated.
You’re good tutorial for me
Now I know basic of digital art
This is such a wonderful video I love how you explain things in the graphics are used. I am trying to create photos of my T-shirt mockups to sell on Etsy.. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this so it won't be for printing but others will be buying my mockups photos, and I need to create high quality photos that can be zoomed in on and save as JPG's.
This was so helpful! What about color profile for procreate!?
Thank u
Hi this was a really helpful video thank you… I want to print some art on canvas of 32 x 47 inches so I just do 32 x 300 and vice versa to get the size I need in px? If I change the DPI to a higher number than 300 would that skew the picture? Or should it always be 300. I also heard to change to CMYK to RGB would you recommend that too?
I know I’m late! But if you do know, I use Twitter to post art and whenever I post I mainly use canvas size 2000x2000 between 3000x3000 or something else with a dpi of 300-350. It’ll look smooth on my iPad when I see it on Twitter but when I go on computer and look at it, it’s more blurry and not that great looking as it is on iPad. Any explanations or ways I can make it smoother both on iPad and computer and also any suggestions for canvas size? I don’t know too well and I stopped using Instagram after how blurry it got and how instas cropping wasn’t too great.
Perfect. Thanks!
Hey! What canvas size should be for Instagram reels? And reels cover pls??
