Hi, welcome back to the Procreate
basic series, today's episode three.
Today, we'll be learning all
about canvas size and layers limit.
So have you ever wonder
why your project is so blur when you zoom in up close?
If you choose a very small canvas size your artwork will be very low
res and when you zoom in,
it'll be all pixelated,
so you have to use a fairly large size.
So today would be getting
all in-depth about all this.
In today's tutorial,
we'll also be learning about how to create
a project, dimensions and the size
and also dot per inches, layers limit, color profile,
time lapse setting and statistics as well.
So let's get started.
Today, we're going to talk all about canvas
size and so we're going to launch
Procreate and we're going to try
and create a new canvas by tapping
on the plus sign here and here, we see
that there are a couple of settings here.
So let's try and go through them and see
what kind of canvas size should
you use in what circumstances.
So I'm just going to try and get
the default setting,
which is the screen size.
You can either see a screen size
or a retina screen size maybe.
So if you tap here,
you automatically create a new canvas.
But today we're not going to do this,
so we're going to delete this.
So now we'll go back to the screen and now
we're going to go and check out my a4 size.
So a4 size is 210 mm by 297 mm
and the DPI is 300 with the maximum layers at 57.
This is actually my default setting
for anything, for any portraits that I
want to do, any studies that I want to do.
This is the setting that I use.
So let's talk about DPI.
So DPI is actually dot per inches.
It means how many dots are packed within one
inch when you're printing it out.
So it also determines how many pixels
there are in the final output.
When you want to work on Procreate and have
your painting printed out, you need to at
least have 150 to 300.
So how do you know if you're
going to use 150 or 300?
That depends on how many layers you want.
So let's say I know that 57 is
not going to be enough,
so I'm going to put it to 200
and then now I have 134 layers to work with.
So this is how you gradually like
downgrade your DPI to the minimum of 150
to get more and more layers so that you
can have more layers to work with.
So now I'm going to show you
what happens if I create this.
So I'm going to tap on it.
OK, right here.
I'm going to go into actions canvas and canvas information.
So right here I can see that this is
my width 210 297, my DPI is 150
and my pixel with now is 1240 x 2754.
This is the setting at 150 dpi
and I have about 242 layers to work with.
So now I'm going to create another one
and put it at 300 DPI,
which is the usual size that I work
with and I'm going to create it.
And now when you see the canvas info,
you can see that the pixels have changed.
It has become much larger
because of the DPI.
So this is how you
can control your pixel size in general
when you create a canvas size
that is not using pixel setting.
So if you're using millimeter, centimetre or
inch, this is what will happen.
You are creating
the pixel size using the DPI.
So this will determine how big
and how many layers you get.
So now I only get 57 leaves,
which is usually enough for me if I'm
doing a portrait for a Procreate
tutorial or a study or something quick.
And now let's talk about
layers limit.
For layers limit, let's look at this cheat sheet right
here that I've really prepare in advance.
So here you can already find out
what RAM your iPad model is.
So if you already know your iPad's RAM,
you would know the amount of layers
that you will get for the size
that you typically use.
For me, I typically use
an A4 size.
So today we will use A4 size
for our benchmark in the discussion.
So if you have the maximum amount of RAM,
which is 4 gb or 6 gb, you will get around 242
layers for the A4 size, which is more than enough.
But if you are actually using any less
than that, for example,
if you are using the 1 gigabyte,
you will actually only get 44 layers.
But bear in mind that this table only
represent sizes in 150 DPI.
So if you're working at 300 dpi like I usually do.
You have a lot less layers compared to this.
So refer to this table and download it
from my website in order to refer to this
table when you are creating your new canvas.
