Love the tutorial!

I was wondering if it's possible to change the stroke to make it more natural with the trial version?

Thanks~

(Ahh! Thanks so much! But when layering how do you make the second layer's colors not go over the first layer? I know you lock the first layer in photoshop but I'm not too sure with Sai)

BratGothGirl In reply to Latvia-san [2009-04-03 14:17:20 +0000 UTC]

I think that might be if you put one layer in 'clipping group' then the layer you will paint on in 'clipping group', then once you're finished remove them both from the clipping group, it should have kept the colors off.

Oh wow, this was extremely helpful <3.

I bought SAI a few months ago and even though I've experimented with a lot of the tools, I still have no idea what some of them are for, so seeing an explaning for all of them is very nice.

Also, the brushes.... I can't explain to you in words just how amazing they are . I love your textures so much <3

Thanks for taking the time to make this

So thanx to you I'm gonna start with no effort...

I wouldn't call the pen pressure tool useless, for those who don't have a tablet and ink with a mouse instead, combined with the curve tool it's priceless. It works beautifully and gives a much better result than a similar function in Photoshop.

Kaizen-kun In reply to ??? [2008-07-20 01:02:34 +0000 UTC]

Very useful!
One question- Is there a magic wand tool that enables you to draw only on a certain section, like the magic wand tool on Photoshop?
If so, where is it? |3
Thanks!
