Digital Illustration
Unlike drawing or painting, digital illustration allows you to make dramatic enhancements with just a few clicks of a mouse. It helps to have an understanding of the basic tools and functions of image-editing software. Here are some basic Photoshop® functions you’ll find helpful.
IMAGE RESOLUTION
When scanning your drawing or painting into Photoshop, it’s important to scan it at 300 dpi (dots per inch) and 100% the size of the original. A higher dpi carries more pixel information and determines the quality at which your image will print. However, if you intend for the image to be a piece of digital art only, you can set the dpi as low as 72. View the dpi and size under the menu Image > Image Size.
