This'll probably be useful at some time cause I just got Paint SAI and I'm planning to draw one of my watcher's OC, but I really don't know the basics of Paint SAI.

It's the best programme, for me- definitely number 1

Gah I wish I could use Paint Tool SAI TT^TT I see such amazing work done with it.
One of these days I'll have a PC.
Beautiful tutorial by the by, I'll definitely be keeping this for reference!

It makes no sense O.O Even the way I shade makes more sense but it looks really crappy because of allot of reasons.

Hello! I was wondering where you downloaded your copy of SAI. Is softonic a good site to get it from?
π: 0 β©: 2
softonic never actually loads you can click download it looks like its working but nothing is actually happening or its just extremely slow i don't exactly remember where i got it from but..
oh wait here:try this:painttool-sai.en.lo4d.com/

Thank you very much, but I found a good download else where. Softtonic did download, but it also filled my computer with viruses. I got rid of it and got a different version. Thanks anyways!

May I ask a question about the brush size? Like.. how you stroke it? Or is it just one click since it's such a large brush?
π: 0 β©: 1
It depends, really. Sometimes it's a click/two/three, sometimes stroke. Pen pressure is very helpfull here

When you use the waterbrush, are you just going over what you did with the airbrush?
π: 0 β©: 1
Do I keep selected the whole base color or just the "shading" I did with the airbrush?
π: 0 β©: 1
Whole base color, not the shade

Ok, because it doesn't look at all like what yours did in the tutorial...
π: 0 β©: 1
But that is what I do ^~ I use the biggest brush size possible (mostly). One most important thing is not locking the layer you're trying to "soften". Also I guess it only works with tablet- pen pressure is very important here.

Oh... my tablet apparently can't allow pen pressure... that'd explain it then... :/ Ok
π: 0 β©: 1
It's fine... :/ I need to learn how to shade, and I love how you shade, but I need to find something that doesn't need pen pressure

Great tutorial! You should do one on the eyes, too!

You think so? (=
I sketch straight to the comp, use PaintToolSAI and wacom bamboo tablet. Then just select opacity of the layer to 20-40% and do the lineart on the new layer above.
