This is the most complete beginner's guide/tutorial to digital illustration that I could fit into a YouTube video length. I hope you find it useful! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see in my videos or learn something!

FAQ:
– Which brushes do you use?
Use the HB Pencil brush for the lineart and Nikko Rull for the shadows. Both come with Procreate

– How big should the canvas be?
I usually always paint in 300 dpi, the reason is that this is the standard number of dpi that a printer uses. There's not much point in going higher unless you're working on a specific project that requires it, as it would slow down your PC/tablet work unnecessarily.

As a canvas size it very much depends on what your purpose is, for example if you want to print on a certain support then use the dimensions of that support. For a no-spec drawing I use a 2500×2500 or 3000×3000 pixel canvas depending on the level of detail I want to add and the machine I'm drawing on (a larger canvas requires more processing power)

When I post on social media, I lower the canvas dimensions and DPI to reduce the risk of art theft. I'm using 72 DPI because that's the resolution all screens use.
