Description *fails*
So I downloaded the Paint tool SAI free trial today. From the minute I started sketching I loved it. It's just so different than using Photoshop, and it was almost like I was sketching on paper. So I'm probably going to get it for my birthday, since it's not too expensive. ...Only thing is, I don't know really how to use it. ._. Sketching and lineart is a piece of cake, but how to make the background transparent so I can color a white character? Or any techniques to make a cool background? I'm clueless. But anyway, here's a WIP of what I was working on. It's Bleachy, of course <3 But I was being careless and forgot to draw her scarf! D: And I just couldn't color her white because I couldn't see what I was coloring, lol. X3 Maybe I should've tried doing Kev with this first... XD

I probably won't finish it sadly, but I will dedicate my first attempt at SAI to !TayxLee because she has been an awesome friend to me and she was the one who reccomend that I get this! <3 Iloveyou. I just need to figure out how to do this so I can start making stuff! X3
Enjoy this fail WIP. 8D

Hope yer trial didn't expire on ya!

One other program you might like to try is ArtRage... they should have a trial available, too. I really like it, and am currently using it for most of my drawing. In fact, in version 3 they added a new tool called "Ink Pen" that I was so impressed with, that I started inking my lineart using it (that's right, I'm actually drawing most of my ink lines now, which is making it go sooo much faster)

That said, it's also the program I use for all those pencil drawings I like to make. *loves it sooo much!!*

Haha, actually... today is the last trial day! x3 But I asked for it for my B-day, so I'm going to get the full version when it runs out. ;D And that's cool! Yeah, I've heard of that program, I was thinking of doing the trial, actually! Right now, I have so many programs, it's not even funny! I actually have an art software, which I think is by the same company of ArtRage. It's called "Manga Studio Debut4" and I think it's for making comics. (Amazing, the deals you find at Half-Price book stores on software...) The lineart is really smooth on it and there's a bunch of cool effects on it. Of course, I have no idea how to use it, but yeah... must learn! And who knows, maybe it will offer me a deal on ArtRage or something. It said something on the box about ArtRage, I just can't remember what. :3
But yeah, looks pretty cool! :3

Hehe thank joo! :3 Yeah... still haven't gotten the hang of it, but I'm getting there! xD I know, me neither! I always do a character study of an anime character before drawing something for final, which is what I'll be doing with Yoruichi soon. C: (I look at pictures from my manga books or screenshots from the anime and then try to look and copy the character from different angles. Very effective when learning how to draw a certain character, I reccomend it!) 8D
