It really depends on what you're drawing, full body character? Be sure to go at least 2000x2000 so you don't need to upscale and ruin everything. There's also the typical icon sizes like 100x100, 800x600, etc. Screen sizes for wallpapers. There's printing sizes like A5, A4, And A3. You can search up their pixel equivalent with google.

Go through ctrlpaint.com and you'll be fine.

The real problem is CPU and processing power. Ram is available in loads nowadays, but it doesn't matter if you computer is too trash to deal with it. This is more obvious when you use huge custom brushes and it lags. That's not a ram problem.

>what is a pretty good standard canvas size to work with?
Depends for what. The general rule of thumb is work as large as your computer can handle. Typically for sketches you can work a bit smaller then for final pieces you work very large. A sketch might be 1 or 2k pixels on each side, and a final piece should be at least 3 or 4k, but ideally 6k+.

>Good brush sizes and settings for sketching and inking?
It's almost entirely personal preference depending on what you like and what style you have. Just play around.

OP here. I am running i7 2.6,-3.5ghz processor.

To tge guy who asked about 8gig ram, I think you might get some chug chug working real high res with a bunch of layers but probably fine for the most part. I think for most programs 8 is the min recommended.
