Why is my brush all pixellated?

[misc33]

I'm trying to do some shading in my illustration, but the brush has gone all pixellated at the edges. This happened to me once before and in playing around I managed to get it back to normal (smooth edges), but it just seemed to happen - I don't know how I fixed it.

 

Take a look at the image below, and please please let me know how I can get back to painting normally again!

Hi misc33,

 

if you are after something like in my illustrations below, you would have to reset the brush hardness to 80 – 100%. I just fear the resolution of your document is a little low for perfect results, but that surely depends on how you would like to use the final image …

 

Cheers, Alex  :)

That's it, thank you! All I had to do was go into Document Setup and change the ppi to 300 - it was on 96. The final image is being prepared for CMYK print.
