hi! this might be a stupid question but i don't draw digitally or anything. why are so many brushes like, 100px in diameter? do you draw in files that big, or do you change the size?

It’s not a stupid question! I’ll try to explain the best I can.

What it means when a brush says it’s 100 px is that that’s it’s default size. When you select it, that’s how big it will be. Any brush can be scaled up or down in PS from 1px to 2500px from there. You can save brushes at different sizes as separate defaults too, if you like to sketch with a 30px brush and line with a 20px brush you can just make it more convenient for yourself that way.

As far as file size for drawing, 100px is actually very small. (for reference, a post on tumblr is 550px across) Artists making pixel art might work that small but most people will work much bigger. My default canvas size is 6000px x 9000px.
