F.A.Q:
(updated 15/01/2012)
"WHERE CAN I GET SAI?"
[link] this is the official site, where you can get a free trial for one month, after that you must buy it..... yes, piracy DOES exist but i won't tell you where.
"CAN I DO THIS WITHOUT A TABLET?"
It's not easy, but yes, you can. The result might not be exactly the same but you can get a similar work. But you have to arrange the transparency and other features of each brush to achieve certain effects. How? Well, i don't know, i don't paint with my mouse for more than 3 years so i forgot how to do it.
"CAN I USE THIS WITH OTHER PROGRAMS?"
Yes, you can. Not everything, but at least the coloring technique.
"IS THERE SAI VERSION FOR MAC?"
No, but there are other good programs for MAC, you can try those.
"WHAT'S THE SUPR BUTTON?"
Sorry people, i don't own a laptop with the keyboard in english, so i think you have it as "delete"
"CAN YOU SHARE YOUR WATERCOLOR BRUSH SETTINGS?"
[link]
"CAN YOU SHARE YOUR REDJUICE BRUSH SETTINGS?"
[link]
"CAN YOU SHARE YOUR CHARCOAL BRUSH SETTINGS?"
[link]
The texture and the brush tip can be found at the download section of this description.
"WHITE LAYER AND DARK LAYER... I JUST DON'T GET IT"
[link] check this small pic to understand how to arrange them. Why do i use them? As you see, i paint and my color doesn't respect the lineart at first, so i erase later... to find every part that i wanna erase, instead looking at a white background i use the dark layer. Also, if the white layer is well done enough, i can select it, invert it and erase the parts that i don't need without using the eraser -which takes more time-
=A= well... as it's kinda hard to explain and stuff... I've made another pic to explain it as a step by step... Some of you might notice the good side of using both... if you don't it's fine... that step is optional anyway. [link]
Anyway a lot of people asks me this even if the answer is big, with examples and clear, so i won't reply to that question again.
"HOW CAN I MAKE MY OWN BRUSH"
Read the part 2 please *link at the begining*

Yurinoki In reply to BEGIN---END [2013-04-26 00:57:40 +0000 UTC]
Copy paste it, then when it says "Do you want to overwrite"? Click yes. This will make the files you extracted replace the old files you already have.

I only saw this until now, looking for a guide, it is REALLY helpful, even if I can only draw with my mouse atm, painful, but I cant just give up .-.
Im starting to draw more on SAI because..... I discovered linework layers until 3 days ago <_< .... But Im making progress!!
Anyways, this tutorial is really good, I'll be cheking it to remember some tips xD and your drawing skills amaze me (:
And... I have SUPR key as well! xD

I'm so happy that you like this tuto. It's great that you find it useful and also I'm glad that you are doing your best improving even if you work only with a mouse (yes! i used to work with a mouse many years ago and it WAS painful!) thanks for the comment!

Cheesecake-giri [2012-08-02 18:40:27 +0000 UTC]
thank you so much for all the great tutorials. :')
how long did it take you to figure all of this stuff out?
quick question, how do you 'increase the selection' when outlining? (many apologies if this has been asked before)
π: 0 β©: 1
DyMaraway In reply to Cheesecake-giri [2012-08-09 22:15:04 +0000 UTC]
I've been using sai for some years but learned stuff while watching livestream sessions by other users, reading other tutorials and testing each tool by myself hehehe
It's been asked before and i have to fix this tuto XD -oooh my bad-
so you should
1) make a selection
2) find the selection menu at the top bar
3) click increment many times until you get a bigger selection with the outline thickness that you'll want
4) fill the selection on a new layer under the coloring and lineart layers
