Setting up Your Canvas and Scale

To begin creating your bathroom designs in Procreate, start by setting up your canvas correctly. Ensuring your canvas size matches the scale of your intended real-life output is crucial for precision:

  • Canvas Size: Opt for a large canvas, like 4000x4000 pixels, to ensure high-quality outputs.
  • DPI Setting: A DPI of 300 is ideal for print-ready designs.
  • Reference Grids: Use grids to maintain scale consistency, aligning your brushwork with real-world proportions.

Essential Brushes and Settings

The tools you choose can greatly impact your workflow. Here’s how to select the right brushes and settings:

  • Procreate Interior Design Brushes: Load a collection from the Mega Expansion Pack to access over 300 brushes for diverse textures and effects.
  • Customization: Adjust brush size and opacity to match your design granularity. Smaller brushes for intricate details and larger brushes for broad strokes.
