For instance, for the comic I'm working one, which I plan to print in 7'x10' through CreateSpace, I'm using the following numbers. Looking at your screensshot, you've got more space around the outer most guide than you really need. If you know who you're going to print through, it would be a good idea to get specs from them. (dpi = dots per inch, which is used by printer, ppi = pixels per inch, used by screens). If you're working in color 300 ppi is ok, but for black and white I would go with 600 ppi. You didn't mention if you're working in color or black and white, which is a bit significant. I'm not certain if I actually have to be working at these sizes and am just putting myself through extra work, so that's what my question is about.įor anyone that's worked on a comic book before, what sizes do you guys work at? And what do you resize to when you go to print or publish online? And also, is there a tool to quickly crop and resize your files once you're finished with your pages? The canvas is much bigger than what I'm used to working at, not to mention I'm uncertain how my linework is going to look in print currently working with brush size that's around 7.0 px wide. I chose the A4/B5 size since I figured you had to choose the same size you were gonna print at, in this case 7x10 inches.

I've been working on a A4 size canvas with a B5 finish at 600 DPI for this comic. I've been working on a fanbook for some time using CSP on my Surface Pro 2017 and I need some help with formatting it, and also would appreciate some advice with brush sizes. Hello! I'd like some advice when it comes to creating comics with Clip Studio Paint!
