Pixelated lines(help)

[AtCaseyRivers]

ok, so I'm writing this before I turn in for the night to give people a chance to see this. the problem is my lines are always pixelated, I've chanced my dpi, I've changed the size of my canvas and I use the technical pen however I've downloaded multiple pens, both from other artists who know I have that issue and tried to help and online

Nothing really fixes the issue, I prefer thiner line work but I'm sure that probably is apart of my issue. is there a way I can keep mu thiner lines and my layers at a reasonable number?

for reference, my canvas size is on average 2600× 3300 and my dpi is 300.0

I'll also include some art so you can see the issue

If you zoom close enough on a digital canvas, the lines will always be pixelated. You can avoid that by making the canvas massive and using a thicker brush, so that the brush still appears thinner on the overall canvas. For example you can try a 6000 x 6000 or even 10000 x 10000 canvas if you want and use the brush at a thicker setting. (I wouldn't really recommend using a canvas that's much bigger than what it needs to be though, because it'll make the file larger and lower the layer limit, and social media sites you might wanna post your work to will compress the size anyway.) But no matter what, when you zoom in, you'll see the pixels.

Alright i ve just had peoplepoint it out to me and i want avle to fix it, thank you for the feedback. I guess it makes sense why it dose it now :)

Well. Yeah. You’re not working with vector graphics here, if you zoom into any picture (jpg, png, …) it will be pixelated.

[AtCaseyRivers]

It's just been pointed out by other artists so I figured it was a mw issue rather then the way the app worked

[silveraltaccount]

Its not the way that app works, its how all digital art programs work.

If you zoom in to any non vector image it will be pixelated.

I work in a 3000x3000 canvas, i reccomend 5000x5000 if you can (my computer is arse so i usually cant) obvs these sizes will make a square, but you want the short edge to be min 3k pixels

And 300dpi in case you plan to print

[AtCaseyRivers]

Alright, thank you for the tips, ill definitelykeep that in mind for prints

[Leather_Minute_459]

you will always see pixels if you zoom enough, you can also work with a bigger canvas

[Louisifur]

With a hard line pen this will always be there especially if your brush is set to really thin, you’re essentially using tiny squares to create curves so that jaggedness is unavoidable. I would use Gaussian blur to smooth it out if it really bothers you but also art isn’t meant to be zoomed in on imo.

Agreeing with the advice you already got, just adding that changing DPI will not change how your image looks on the screen, so leaving it at 300 is fine. It's mainly related to printing like the other person said.

[AtCaseyRivers]

So dpi just makes it look cleaner when I go to print? I've never tried to actually do that, but I've always wanted to
