Hey Sakura! I'm sorry for asking so many questions but I've already sketched what I want to color and the problem is, is that the magic wand tool doesn't seem to work...Whenever I use it it turns the whole screen blue and then when I click on another tool it doesn't do anything! When I used the wand tool in Computer Art it would color only the section selected right? Then how am I supposed to color it? Are there keys I need to press? Thanks dear!

Autumn-Sacura In reply to Chappychan [2011-01-30 20:10:20 +0000 UTC]

Well, maybe your problem is Selection mode. You should choose Color difference in selection menu and Current layer in selection source menu. Hope it helps!

Chappychan In reply to Autumn-Sacura [2011-01-30 21:46:25 +0000 UTC]

Oy! I wish I knew what that meant! xD The problem is, is that I don't know how to find these kinds of things...I' a newbie when it comes to this program and know minuscule knowledge about others...D: I'm sorry!
First off, how do you change it to a vector layer? I see in your version that there is an icon in your first layer and in the background there is no icon...How do I get that first? can you give me step by step basis? I'm sorry for bothering you so much! I'll look for other ways of figuring this out! I just can't find it out myself no matter how hard I try...D:

Autumn-Sacura In reply to Chappychan [2011-02-03 23:23:48 +0000 UTC]

Oh, looks like you have different version of SAI than mine. Mine is 1.0.2d. Because I don't other reasons you don't have those icons.

Chappychan In reply to Autumn-Sacura [2011-02-04 20:14:25 +0000 UTC]

It turns out that in your version you have a "vector" layer when I have "linework" which has the SAME icon....Hmmmm....I know that now....it took me a while after looking at another tutorial...
Right now I just need to get the linework layer back since I didn't do all the coloring in one sitting and it's weird how it saves....If I have any issues I'll be sure to ask you but I'm sure the only problems with the vector is that I have linework....Confusing but I hope I'm right about this! Thanks for putting up with my nonsense! xD

Chappychan [2011-01-21 20:42:28 +0000 UTC]

Hey dear! I actually have question! xD I just got SAI and I was wondering...Can you hide the layers in SAI so I can create a background on a separate layer? I've worked with Photoshop before but only in Computer Art, and you are much more experienced with SAI! Thanks!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Autumn-Sacura In reply to Chappychan [2011-01-22 19:04:59 +0000 UTC]

Yep, it's possible, it works like with Photoshop. Just click an "eye" icon on layer to hide it.

Heey~ Can I ask
just one question?
How can I prevent
my outlines to be
over lapped? Cuz
everytime I paint
over my drawing the
outline disapears.

Any help?
Thank yuuu!

Autumn-Sacura In reply to Zkyrus [2010-08-20 09:50:23 +0000 UTC]

Sounds like you have only one layer. Do you do the new layers for lines and for coloring?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Zkyrus In reply to Autumn-Sacura [2010-08-20 18:25:19 +0000 UTC]

yep. I dropped
the colour layer
under the line art
layer (just like the
way the others told
me) and when I
colour on the colour
layer, nothing
comes out from the
brush.

Wada heck? I
need help, badly.

Autumn-Sacura In reply to Zkyrus [2010-08-23 08:28:45 +0000 UTC]

Try other than brus tools. Also maybe the layer is hidden, check it.

Zkyrus In reply to Autumn-Sacura [2010-08-23 09:32:23 +0000 UTC]

so how do I know if
the layer is hidden?

There should be eye-like icon, near layer in layer meny.

Awesome!...IDK what the heck your talking about though I feel dumb because when I tried to upload a drawing and it looked suckish, I went to Paint (Yes, the accesories paint) and traced over everything ._. It took like an hour to get half of it and I said screw it and gave up. ykwim

Хех, честно говоря, это у меня вынуждено - компьютер очень старый, при большом количестве слоев начинает тормозить и зависать. Можно использовать и много слоев, но, лично я думаю, в большинстве случаев это ненужно.
