Upload Quality Question
-
@Asyas_illos I found your post. I don’t see the word “resized” anywhere in the code it shows. Did you eventually find another solution ?

@alicia the .PNG file might be holding you up. Have you tried uploading as a JPEG?
Did you create the art in Procreate? You might be able to adjust the canvas settings in your drawing app and that might help solve the issue.

Hi, Alicia.
Printing and digital are different media and have to be treated differently.
We usually work big so our work can be printed. When resizing to a web-friendly size the work loses its detail and texture.
So you have to create a web size archive aside.
Once I finish my illustration I paste a flat rendering in a new document. I resize and then apply textures, sharpness filters, or whatever it needed to look great in this new size.
Sometimes, I directly make the copy of the illustration without the textures since I have it all separated in layers, and apply the textures in the new size.This is a detail of how my final illustration looks at real size:
If I resize I lose a lot of texture as you see:
So I apply the texture and whatever it needs to the new size:
It is a technique I learned in photography where you edit a copy for printing and a very different one to look awesome on web. As I said, are different media, the brightness of the screen can't be replicated on paper, for example, so edit your work specifically for the medium is going to be displayed in.I hope it helps. Have a great day!
