I'd like to point out to people reading this, i made this tutorial a couple of years a go, it's really old by now and is to be followed with a grain of salt. My methods have changed since this tutorial and it's good only if you're starting out and wanting to learn the very basics because there are some methods here I realize now that can develop into bad habits. So once you've gotten a hang of things, please explore new methods of drawing/painting! Don't limit yourself!

The Ultimatum : D The Mother of all tutorials. Ahaha;; I did this half a year ago and decided to reupload it here. My prized tutorial, just had to reupload it. ; 3 ; <3

Hi! First, awesome work!
I have a quite important problem; and I think you can help me.
I wanted to open a .jpg picture as a layer on a .sai canvas. [link]
I've looked for a tutorial, or merely an answer to my question, and I found this : [link] . Badly, when I drag and drop my .jpg picture from 'My pictures' to the layer column, it opens a new canvas ;A;

Could you help me? I would be really glad if you do so!

Thanks.

Hrm, try this.
Open your picture you want in paint tool sai. Then open another canvas(where you want it to be)
On the canvas where your wanted picture is, drag the LAYER onto the other canvas. It should open it as a new layer in your new canvas O:

when i wake up im getting straight on sai and following this to improve my art dramatically and words can not express how i feel since i seem to have my stoic face going on so my guess is "I WOULD KISS YA' IF I WASN'T THE MAN I WAS TODAY!"

in a nutshell:THANKYOU SO FUCKING MUCH!

What's the second hiragana you have down at the bottom? I keep seeing it and thinking "a___mon" Is that a 'ji'?

4th-reset In reply to obsessioninhumanform [2012-03-15 01:01:14 +0000 UTC]

It's supposed to say : Aimon but as you can see I fail at writing hiragana. xD So ignore that horrible hiragana. Even my japanese classmate read that as Ajimon Ahahaha xD;
