Description
This is the final part of a complete step-by-step, start-to-finish tutorial of how I did the image below. Part One of the Tutorial is in the middle, Part Two on the right:Part o3: Highlights, Effects, and Edits
*This tutorial is primarily for PaintTool SAI, but includes a bit of Photoshop
*My four main brushes and settings: [link]
I used the pen tool (though at size 4) for the lineart, the brush tool for the sketch and coloring, and the brush and water tools for blending purposes.

If you have any questions at all, totally feel free to ask me anything!
Fff, also, totes know I spelled Gaussian wrong, alright? I'm just waaaayy too lazy to go in and fix it so you all will have to deal with it. We all know you know what I mean anyway. Herpderp.

Uhh.. I got a question.
What are the tool settings you use when you draw this type of stuff? (I can't even understand myself )

Pretty much the same settings I posted a link to in the artist comments; [link]
It's been a while since I've drawn any of these, so I don't recall EXACTLY what I used in what order--but... I imagine for these things I used my brush tool settings for lines and flats, and then a mix of the brush and water tool for blending.

I just noticed that the very last step where you seperated some of the darker colors of the objects with pure white, dont appear in the final upload 
Anyway, even if i never have and never will use Sai this looked quite helpful to me, artstylewise :3 Thank you for taking your time to make this!

Um so I don't know if this will sound weird but.
Where can you get PaintTool SAI from? I have Photoshop but SAI sounds amazing

I actually got it off of a friend's USB stick, so.... can't really help with that. XD;
I know you can download the trial (just search it on google) and it works for 30 days. After 30 days you can't open existing files or save, but you can still draw on it and stuff--I did this for a while and just used the screencap option to save it when done. I know there are cracked versions floating around, but I don't know where to find them. I think it's only, like, $50 to buy, though. So it's not that bad.

It would probably be a little confusing at first, but there are a TONS of tutorials out there, and with a little bit of dicking around, it's pretty easy to figure out. C:
(MUCH easier than something like photoshop)

Oh thats great to hear! My Photoshop is kinda tricky to work out with all its silly, unnecessarily buttons and effects.

how did you get the extra settings like the pen, splats, binary, and etc?

On SAI? They came with the program when I got it. I'm certain, all versions of SAI, should have the pen tool. It should be there. :c

Thanks for the tutorial, I find it useful although I am a Photoshop user.
But I have to say, you misspelled Gaussian.. twice. ^^'

I was wondering where you got your version of PaintTool SAI. I have a version of it, but it doesn't have anything for "blend mode: addition."

I actually got it from her friend off her USB stick. XD;;;
I think my version is the "Portable SAI" version but I'm not exactly sure.

xD My friend tried to send me that version through AIM once. I guess when it didn't work, I downloaded a different version. But thanks for your help
Maybe now some of the tutorials I see will make more sense.
