How do I get detail in my paintings and drawings.

[annlou]

I've found that when I try to do detailed work that the paint or the pencil or pen goes blobby or shows pixely squares. I just can't get a small enough point. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Should I use a bigger canvas (I usually choose the print option). I have set my pixels to 300 instead of 72 and when I am trying to get details I turn the brush I am using down to 1, to no avail. My computer has a radeon 7700 card and 6mg of ram so should be good enough to run Artrage. Help, it's driving me nuts!

Update: Found the answer which is make the canvas bigger. Brilliant
