Which makes me feel even better that i got her name so close!

This is a great tutorial! I was just wondering (and sorry if this is stupid, I'm still fiddling with SAI), when you use the magic wand tool, is it best to have the color run over the lineart? I know you ran over with the skin but what about with top layers? Whenever I use the wand tool, the color comes out pixel-ie around the edges instead of smooth.

This is late, and I'm not even the artist, but if you still haven't figured it out then maybe I can help^^Β 

Just scroll down the page until you see "Details" on the right side of the screen.Β 

Under that, there's three "boxes" - "Link", "Thumb" and "Embed".Β 

Just copy the "thumb" and then paste it in your description (or wherever you like). Then, the thumbnail appears there^^ Smart, isn't it?

When you select Magic Wand, choose the settings "Color Difference" and "Working Layer" that show up on the toolbar

xLady-Mizu [2012-03-02 16:29:29 +0000 UTC]

this is amazing, but I have a problem? whenever I colour with quite a dark colour like blacks and browns, the outline goes really bold? even though I'm colouring underneath it? I usually use a size 1 brush, is there a way I can stop this?

and I don't know what the clipping group or lock opacity thing is either ._.''

WildChildDreamer [2011-09-23 23:40:58 +0000 UTC]

This helped so much! I just started out in SAI (but with a Photoshop background), and I never thought of using the lineart as cell shading technique! (which makes total sense now...)

draw2much [2011-08-08 20:02:01 +0000 UTC]

This is a really basic question and I hope you can forgive me for asking it. But how DO you select more than one area with the wand tool? I know it's gotta be a key some where but nothing I press allows me to select more than one area at a time. D:

Nadiah-Dasilva In reply to draw2much [2011-08-09 10:58:43 +0000 UTC]

That's weird, my Sai lets me select lots of different areas. Have you tried using the selection pen instead of the wand tool? It's more effort, but alot more accurate (:
