Preparing your art for social media 📸 Step by Step (Patreon)

I've been asked many times how my art looks so crisp when I post it on Instagram, TW, etc. And this is the only "secret" to it.

By default, social media scales your art to fit the specific measurements that site can handle. This is why you always want to upload a file that's the closest to those measurements as possible.

But we're obviously not gonna work on tiny canvases where everything looks pixely! So I basically just downscale my art on a new canvas and make any necessary adjustments to prevent resolution loss.

✨ And here's ONE EXTRA TIP for you!

(Make sure to read the guide first, or this step won't make sense xD)

To speed up the process, save the small canvas as a blank template you can re-use. Name it something like "Social Media Template" so you can easily find it when you need it, and just drop and export your files in a few clicks.

You can tell I love using all sorts of shortcuts in my creative process 😂

You'll also find a PDF version of the guide on the attached files of this post, in case it's more convenient for you to follow all the steps.

Hope this helps you!
