Description
Updated after 2 years, you can actually read it now
haha.So this is for when your SAI trial runs out or even if you find another program has crashed and you cant save etc.
I eventually bought SAI though, it is very well worth it
Enjoy!
Breakdown
*You can't open or save after the trial has expired, but you can make new canvases.
*The only things you need are SAI, photoshop and a keyboard with Print Screen
It takes some practice to get the screen shots in the right place but once you get used to it it is very easy.
Program Recommended;SAI & Photoshop.
Pen Tablet or Mouse? Either.
Time it Takes; 10'ish mins depending on size.

Yeah I have one question .. maybe it is in one of your tutorials, but i'll ask you anyway ^^,
Like in this video you have on youtube, what brush settings did you use on the sketch? Love it!
I've "discovered" the wonder of Paint Tool Sai, and have to say that it is SOOO much easier than Photoshop !

Which video?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah i used the pen tool
I uploaded a video yesterday and it shows the sketching process [link] ... I switch between brush and pencil, there's no real "have to use thing" rule when you draw which is awesome but I do find that the pen tool is best for neat lines

cannt you just uninstall it and then install it again?
its not like ive done it but does it work?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Naw it seems to keep a trace in your system that remembers your trial was over unfortunately.
They recently updated it though so if you buy it it's a lifetime buy, on as many pc's as you like, so it's more worth it now.

awww darn
well how much does it cost?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It costs 5250 JPY ($66.4 USD) from [link]
It's expensive, but I can vouch it's worth it, if you want to do digital drawings, 100% recommend, it's a good program to practice in too, it's simple, unlike photoshop that has well over 20 options for just setting things up to start a picture.
Starting to think SAI should hire me as a rep haha!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
damn! thats a lotta money just for a program!
I'll still consider using it though lol
yeah! you should cuz it seems like youre already convincing me to buy it later on lol

:c

I cracked SAI myself D8; but this method is pretty handy.

Yeah haha I gave up cracking it and just bought it
Glad it's useful

THANK YOU! there are very few SAI tuts, and i don't know, i got used to do the sketches there and then work on photoshop. this is very helpful, although in my particular case i don't dare to use my sketches, because well they are really full of lines and corrections n_n and i like to work in vexels too. but would be awesome if you had the patience to make more SAI tuts, i'm very sure that i'm just using like 5% of its capacity

Sorry for such a late reply
I would make more but unfortunately I don't really draw that much anymore!
If I start again I might

I like this tutorial, its rather helpful. c:
But, what version of Photoshop are you using? elements doesn't give you a lot of the options you have to use in this, sadly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did you know...
If you actually uninstall sai from your computer (if it is the english pack version). And install it again, your trial period will start over? I always do that when my trial period ends.

what's burn and dodge? I have SAI. but I only have the trial. 
please? could you teach me? or at least give me some tips?
I would really appreciate it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SAI doesn't have the burn and dodge features 
But burn makes things darker and more saturated, while dodge makes things brighter and more contrasted ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so, uhh... you have SAI and photoshop? I am seriously in need of help.I dunno why I'm just so... so curious.
sorry if I'm bothering you. =] but again I need help.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah i have photoshop and sai
Hmmm if you are looking to start out and you cant get your hands on photoshop, try downloading openCanvas [link] , its a trial i think but its very worth it to get you started and a feel for the programs, it's a bit confusing at first but clicking around helps
Sai is pretty much just as good though, although most people love it for the thin lines you can draw on it... Just making blank canvases and testing out everything is the best way to learn
Hehe you're not bothering me ^^ <3

What the hell? Why didn't I 
I used it again, by the way-- just needed to refresh my memory
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
BTW you should remane it or put extra keywords in it to make people use it for free linearts, because there aren't enough tutorials for this out there
*I adds ad's for joo*

I try to draw in Sai, but the lines go slow and when I let go, it spazzes.
