Both come with Procreate The reference picture I used: https://igmakeup.com/post/64471683007... How big should the canvas be? I usually always paint in 300 dpi, the reason is that’s the standard number of dpi that a printer uses, it doesn’t make much sense to go higher unless you are working on a specific project that requires it, as it would slow down your pc/tablet unnecessarily. As canvas dimension, it depends a lot on what your goal is, for example if you want to print on a certain support use the dimensions of that support. For a drawing without specifications I use a canvas 2500x2500 or 3000x3000 pixels, depending on the level of detail I want to add and the machine I’m drawing on (a bigger canvas will require more processing power) When I post on social media I lower the canvas dimension and DPI to lower the risk of art theft. I use 72 DPI because that’s the resolution all screens use.
