I’m new to CSP, so I’ve been messing around with the settings and experimenting with all the tools, but I’m not sure what canvas size I should do for manga drawing style. I vary from full body to just face/upper body portraits so I’m not sure what I should set it to, to get the best results for brush texture and quality etc. any tips will be greatly appreciated!

3 years agoMost set their dpi to 300 but i would advise not to unless you are printing out your work and you really want it at upmost quality. most artists i know keep it at 90/100 doing normal pieces of work because the sites they post it on usually optimize the dpi and lower it to fit their size better, hope this helps! :)

Generally, for comics, 600dpi is recommended in monochrome or grayscale. Monochrome 1200dpi is also rare.
In the case of color, there are many places where 350dpi is specified. However, Clip studio is light, so depending on how you use it, 600dpi is enough.
The template size that matches the magazine is prepared in the newly created size.
There are also magazines with modified sizes, so in the end you have to think about "where to draw the manuscript".
Each company has size, color, and dpi specifications in the application guidelines, so read them and select.
I'm not familiar with anime, but in general, I don't think you'll be required to exceed 4K (3840x2160px).
