Doodlebug July #1 – Hootbot

Did any of you guys have one of these growing up? I did. Mine was missing its tail but holy crap I loved that little guy.

…so apparently, no one but my family knows what a Hootbot is. It’s a toy from the 80s.

Is there a prime time for posting art? I always just post it hot off the press (bad habit), which puts it somewhere in the middle of the night usually…  Should I make a queue to put things in and have it post mid-morning or afternoon or something if I want more exposure? I don’t really want to reblog my own posts (is that a good or bad thing?), but will if need be, since I guess a lot of peoples’ dashboards are super crowded so they miss things.

HMMMM.

Thoughts/opinions/etc?

For digital painters/artists – what size do you generally set your canvas to when you’re thinking about a 8.5 x 11 print? I’m still pretty new to this and last year I kept going waaaay too small and getting terribly pixelly results!

I usually set mine to 8.5 x 11 as far as dimensions go, but the most important thing to watch is your resolution. For print, I never go anything lower than 300, but that seems to work for MOST things.

So a typical canvas of mine will look like this in Photoshop:

I hope this helps somehow!!! If not, check out this wikipedia article on DPI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch
