Have you ever worked on a piece of digital art for hours just to realize that your file's size or resolution was too small the whole time? Or maybe you've collaborated with someone who worked at a low resolution unknowingly. If you're lucky, you can just resize your file, sharpen it, and the quality will be acceptable enough to continue on. If not, this Photoshop trick will help you save your lineart so you don't have to start from scratch!

Art blocks are terribly frustrating. They're usually brought on by some problem you're having in your life, whether it be artistic or not, and have a special way of making the situation even worse. I've dealt with some pretty bad ones over the years and thankfully, I've figured out things to do that help the situation so now I'm better equipped for when they arise. In this post, I'm going to talk a little bit about my own experience and share 11 things you can try to get over your art block too. And of course, I'll share some links to helpful resources along the way.
