Well i sharpen my art to make it higher quality, is that bad?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Sharpen it? That makes me think of Monet, who has some of the unsharpest work I've ever seen. Please explain.

It's OK to sharpen finished work to gain even artiest look from your brushes (in Photoshop at least). I prefer "Paint Daubs" effect instead because it gives me more control.

Thanks Jura and @LGrey sharpening is when you make the art a little sharper i guess, better quality.

Blitz55 · 11-12-2012, 06:44 PM

Yeah, just make sure you don't use a dull blade.

I think it's OK if could receive better quality.

Well, if its not overdone, its good. Even digital photograhs need to be sharpened.

There is one pitfall however. When posting to online galleries, images need to be decreased in size ... and resampling (down) usually adds some sharpening by itself, so your images *could* turn out too sharp in the end. Personally I despise seeing paintings where dark or light halos appear around sharp edges.

My suggestion would be to use it, but very limited.

Now post some works so we can see!
