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"
e_eU rly?... ahh... this is the tutorial where you must learn it... read it again plz.

I LOVE YOU! I've always been very confused about persistence, blending and dilution. I've never dared to touch them - in fact thats the reason i've started cell shading.

I;m slightly less confused now, but still greatly confused ;w;

i think you mean either the sensitivity setting or you can just press the [ and ] buttons to make the brush, pen, eraser thin and thick let me know if you mean something different :3Β

thanks for the tutorial. It was really helpful and made me feel safe with what I was doing to create new brushes. but I'm still confused of the "blotmap" thing. Could you explain that once?
And for what exactly is it helpful? I'm a little confused, since you normally only need to use the elemap and texture to create features for a new brush. But I don't get what the blotmap is doing ._.
or am I a complete idiot?

this is a great tutorial! however it's a little hard to keep reading it because of the strong color you used for the background
i suggest a softer color next time-

fairytailsuperfan [2013-09-24 15:49:29 +0000 UTC]

thank you but at the beginning of the tutorial, you show the different type if brushes, how come mine do NOT look AT ALL like yours?

1. It's just a big blur.

2. How come at the end of the line, it gets thin?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

MalvinaIsDead In reply to fairytailsuperfan [2015-01-13 21:42:34 +0000 UTC]

hey c:

I'm not sure about the "big blur" thing.
but to the second thing: it's because of the pressure you put on the pen. if you put the same pressure on it all the time it shouldn't get thin at the end c:

hope that still helps.

SegikuchiKiatsu [2013-07-02 12:07:35 +0000 UTC]

[link] - I have the same kind of circle like you have there above. But I just keep wondering what did you mean by: "Draw a shape inside the circle (and save the files inside "elemap"). I'm just too afraid of that I'm going to ruin my picture even though I have the original one. :'D So... what kind of shape? I just made a little question so big. This just bothers me.

A pic would be nice. n____n

Thank you for sharing your tips and brushes I was so clueless when I first started with SAI, your resources /and some YouTube videos, heh) really helped! I've become particularly fond of the brush you called "Chunky" and it will probably be one of my most used for digital painting ( [link] [link] )

Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong -,-

Sorry just want to make a manga through sai...
Probably won't work but it would be nice to try
Also just to have textures will be nice

blah, well in all it's really helpful, so thanks so much for making this!~ ^^

Kairou-no-Kimi [2013-04-25 18:06:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! But I have an issue when attempting to make my own texture -.- So I took an existing texture, pasted my texture onto the canvas and used the "save as" option. Then I went to the notepad (the one for brush text) and typed it in... but when I open SAI again, the texture isn't in the drop down box. Did I miss something?
