Description
A quick tutorial for PaintTool SAI, explaining the various line-art tools and how to use them
Needed: Paint Tool SAI. Tablet is optional, as you'll only need it for the Pen tool.
You can get Paint Tool SAI here: [link]
There's a free 30 day Trial, or you can buy it. An English version is available
===========================================
NOTE: You can now download "DarlingMionette's SAI Resources" here:
[link]
It is a .zip file of all my brush settings, textures, blank do-it-yourself resources, instructions for creating custom content, and associated start-sai.exe file that lets you register these files to your SAI without editing the .conf files manually :3 All in one convenient place. All of my current brush settings have been updated to match the files in the .zip file, and contain image examples for each. Be sure to read the README's! If you like it, then drop me a +fav on this deviation
. Thanks!

Can't you just use the stabiliser tool?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you can, but it doesn't do the same thing.

I dont have weight, color, pressure, curve and line..
Where can I get it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you have to create a line art layer before the tools will show up.

So does that mean that if I saved it as .psd, then the lineart won't be editable?
Thank you very much for the tutorial too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, I'm pretty sure that's true. I believe it has to be saved as a .sai file for it to be editable with sai's lineart tools. I haven't tested it, but I believe it's true.
