Have you ever spent hours on a page, only to realize that it's set at half the size it should be? Digital art can easily lose a sense of page scale. Infinite levels of zoom and easily shiftable brush sizes can lead to unwanted scale changes throughout a page or illustration. The Halftone Hospital Digital Sizing Reference is a software-agnostic, information dense register for determining brush sizes and other important reference points.

It's a simple image, set at exactly 3000px. At 600ppi, it will represent 5", and at 300ppi it will be 10". Most information is presented in double to work at either 300 or 600. It includes sizes of common inking tools, as well as lettering sizes on either side of the average legible dialogue size. There are common page size metrics as well as how much they are typically reduced for print, and breakdowns of screentone dot metrics.

This can be printed at 600 or 300 ppi to provide a final common sense check for traditional work, although if you are working on a larger scale to be reduced, bear in mind that all of these references are sized at 100% for print. You can scale it up by your reduction scale to get an accurate measurement if needed.

This resource is admittedly pretty dense, it's meant to be used for whatever your needs are. Replace info as needed if you work at a different scale or want to emphasize different measurements. It's a malleable format, and it's more about adding in another layer of checks that can keep you from accidentally working at the wrong scale or ppi.

Easily and quickly set your brush sizes, an especially effective practice in Procreate, where brush sizes are nonsensically measured in arbitrary percents.

To Use:

Set the image as a brush stamp to easily insert the reference onto your canvases, or place it as an image at 100% scale.
