How To Border Effect
in
Paint Tool SAI


Step One: Select outside the thing.
*This doesn't have to be exact, just nice and snug.
Use Working Layer and adjust the Color Difference as necessary.

Step Two: Invert the selection.

Step Three: Increment the area.
*Do this as many times as you feel you need to.
 Keep the area selected, and make a new layer.

Step FOUR: Fill in.
*Move the new layer below your stuff, then fill in the selected area.
 Use a giant brush, or, use the Bucket Tool.
 I like to make sure it worked with a nice, bright color.

I've seen this method a billion times yet for some reason my selection creates jagged lines, like so.



I want smooth outlines, not pixely outlines. How do I fix this? I've seen people use the blur tool to fix it but I also see some people who don't even have jagged edges and therefore don't need the blur tool. Very confusing.

I would definitely try making sure that "Anti-aliasing" is checked on when using the selection wand. Without it checked, it will produce sharper outlines when inverted (which might be good for pixel art, but agreeably, not for normal art).

I love these tutorials and I thank you for making them, but I can't get the border to work right. Idk what I'm doing wrong. Everything worked fine, but the border color is coloring on the art too.

While the selection still exists, but before you go to color it in, create a new layer beneath your art and fill in the selection there. I hope that helps explain things a bit clearer?

When I do that, the color doesn't show up unless I put the work on 'multiply' or something like.
