how do you make your lines less pixelated?

[jarvan the 4th]

so i just bought opencanvas 6 but i have never done any kind of digital art before, am enjoying it so far. but when i look at other's drawings the lines are really smooth and you cant see much pixels on them, but when i try to draw i can clearly see all the pixels

how do you make your drawing less pixelated?

Well, usually in most softwrae this is because you've zoomed in more than 100%, which is the full size. However, if you're drawing like on paper, you'll probably do this a lot to work on details, kind of a simulated sticking your head closer to the paper. Therefore, in digital art, in order to allow this zooming in, the actual size is very large and you zoom out to work on the piece, and zooming into 100% shows only a small part of the picture on the screen. 1:3 + or - is the ratio I guess.

1. When creating a new document; or
2. Image > Canvas Size

You can make it less pixelated by increasing the anti-aliasing of brush strokes.
