Thanks so much for this! I was wondering though, I can't figure out how to put the paper textures into Sai. I saved them in black and white in the right size (and in Bmp) and I stuck them into the papertex folder, but it still wont work.

You said something about making another file and putting it into a ".conf" file, but I can't figure out how to do that. When I click on the papertex.conf icon, my computer says that it can't be opened. Could you help?

i'd like to ask something to you. Does the original (who costs 33€) have some options more than the free version? Or it's the same same program?

Is there a pen tool like GIMP or Adobe Illustrator that lets you set and edit points to create lines? Or what is a good way to do inking/line art?

I'm a complette newb to SAI and I just put up one of my recent pic in there. Her's my question though.

I wanted to use the bucket tool to colour in a whole face, and JUST the face, but when I click the area with it, the bucket tool causes the whole page to go that colour. How do I minimize the bucket tool? ^^ Thanx

But it worked. : D

Oh, there's a min size option under your tools. Change it to zero, and that should do the trick C:

Heya! This is by far the most comprehensive guide I've seen to Paint Tool, thanks, my friend!
Just a thing I realised though. in one part you mention that ''C'' doesn't do anything but seems interesting! Try changing it from 1.x to 10.x, you'll see that it's there so you can make really really big or small brushes.
