WARNING: HUMONGOUS FILE!My first tutorial ever Q U Q
I'm sorry, I'm a horrible teacher OTL
But please enjoy <3
Ask questions if you want, and I'll do my best to answer them!
It was supposed to be longer, but my computer ran out of RAM space and the scratch disks were full, so I couldn't resize the canvas to make it bigger orz.
So, I worked on this throughout class time (ICT 9/10), since I finished all my assignments super early. I barely have any more time at home, busy with homework ;A;
Not sure what to say here LOL
But I'm so tired and I should get some more sleep
I hope I can get a Part II out soon, but no guarantees.
Part 2 will probably be about drawing/shading, as my watchers wanted.
Oh yeah, this was made for:

I'm sure it will! ^^ I can only take so much knowledge from what I know about photoshop... Like the shortcuts are pretty similar.

er... your "sliders for black and white" are actually gradient makers.. you plug in your starter colors on either end of the sliders, and then you can choose gradient colors between the two original colors.... they aren't just for black and white XD otherwise, great tutorial!

omg I feel stupid for linearting with brush instead of ink pen TToTT
π: 0 β©: 1
No no no that's fine!
Brush lineart gives a softer effect, but if you're going for the hard edge, the ink or regular pen will do nicely.
Brush is fun to lineart with *o*

I had heard of SAI but never actually looked into the program ((nor had time due to time constraints and reallifeissuesUGGGHZ). I REALLY like your tutorial as it explains so much! I'll definitely be getting this program.

Wow, I had heard of SAI before, but I didn't know what it was. This tutorial has really enlightened me. Now all I need is $70 and a tablet...

how do i add a perfect circle? i cant draw good circles, so is there a tool i can use to add a circle?
π: 0 β©: 1
No... but what I do is use the select pen tool. I pick the circle size I like the best, click so a blue circle pops up. I color it in, then I pick the circle one size down and select inside the the first circle. The second blue circle should be erased.
Now you have a perfect ring!
I also use the curve tool. You get thinner circles but its harder to do.
