I've noticed that a lot of people are using the maximum size (500x500) on the intermediate board lately, especially people who are sort of on the borderline of being able to draw there.

Big canvases are great, but you have to fill up all that empty space unless there's obvious artistic merit in leaving it blank. Huge 500x500 drawings on the intermediate board with one little character stranded in the middle are going to get moved to beginner, okay? People who are just getting up to the intermediate level would probably do better to try smaller drawings and focus on detail and framing, or to draw big and fill up the space if they do go for the large canvas. There are some great uses of a larger canvas, but lately some more questionable ones.

Done now. >>

ok! I really don't like to use that big of canvas anyway... then I have to put more detail and I'm kinda lazy >_<

On a slightly related subject, it'd be nice if we had more flexibility with pixel ranges though. A lot of my stuff is twice as tall as it is wide for compositional reasons, for example, but to avoid making it too narrow that I can't get the details in it sometimes means using a higher level board.

Here's an example- a 500x500px image is 250000px total, while a 400x600px is only 240000px and a 300x600px (one of my prefered working sizes) is only 180000px total. Even though it's actually a much lower dimension (and file size), and what I'm really just looking for is that extra 100px in height, I have to go to a higher level board just for that. Maybe if each board had a maximum total pixels instead of a maximum range for each side then it'd be easier to fit in more types of drawings.

I agree with redpanda here. :)

I agree with everybody.
