As a newbie with ipad and Procreate I was really unsure when I was asked to do a large drawing. I set up the canvas to apprx. 63x157 inches, which gave me few layers to work with, at a DPI of 75(...). Large pixelcount though, apprx. 11000x4700. Also I set it up in sRGB. So I guess there was a lot of theoretically wrong factors here. BUT, the artwork printed supernice, also if you look at it up close like from 6 inches. Crispy and clear! Please explain why this went so great..! :)

For my digital assignments I’m asked to submit everything at 72 DPI but to draw at a higher resolution how do I change the DPI if I start drawing at a higher DPI or do I even need to do this?

what if I need to draw and print in 47 inch x 47 inch?
should 200 dpi be enough?

Entonces estaria bien si el dibujo para web tiene 72 DPI? Me habia aconsejado ponerlo en 400 DPI pero pesa demasiado 😞
