Even if I have spent quite some time on that sketch, I am not really fan of it.
I was trying too hard hiding my mistakes by overloading it of details. I guess I blind myself and didn’t realize early enough that the sketch base was not right. It naturally gives a clumsy result.
- The glass area really lack of dynamism.
- I forgot to change the resolution of the document. Big mistake !
The sketch having a lot of small details. The picture is blurred when I zoom in.
TIP 5 High resolution file

Hello! I was working on a drawing and the quality was high. However, when I saved it and re-opened the file to continue working on it, the quality of the picture went down and all of the details I had placed on it were now extremely pixelated. Is there anyway to fix this???
(I don’t know if this matters but I’m on an android tablet.)
Hi Leilani,
Maybe it is due to the two types of formats in digital drawing.
Usually, there is 1 format by default that is proper to the software (i.e .psd for Photoshop) and the common formats ready to use for publication such as .jpg or png.
It is essential to know both.
The default format will save the file at the original size, resolution, keep the layers separated, the vector lines if any… It is like a “MASTER FILE”. Anytime you want to do a modification, you have to refer to that document.
On the other side, the common format will get a lower resolution of your choice.
I guess your pixelated image is may due to a low resolution at export?
Maybe instead of centimeters, you wrote a document size in mm?
A minimum of dpi for a document is 72 dpi for a screen visualization.
Make sure you do not choose lower.
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Chou-Tac
