Though I would share some cool tutorials I found. This place has got some pretty boss tutorials made by pros www.imaginefx.com/022877543303… you can download them in pdf form

Also found some resources. Lots of people ask me where I get my brushed and tones and what not..I don't actually remember where I got the tones since I got them 3-4 years ago and I make my own Photoshop brushes but I did find some cool stuff while browsing for new stuff.

Screentones www.idrawdigital.com/2010/03/d…

Comic book text www.idrawdigital.com/2010/03/d…

There are lots of great brushes right here on DA. Here are a few of my favs;


Also love all these brushes concept-on-mac.deviantart.com/…
few example

Gesture practise lovecastle.org/draw/

and lastly..textures!  for all your free texture needs www.cgtextures.com/

And if you want references for drawing bodies, objects, go to the Resource & Stock Image category. It has got pretty much everything you will ever need. Also don't forget to credit.

If you know any other great resources that you would like to share with other people, link them in the comments and I will put them up here

I've been trying for months now to find a tuturial on how to get AlectorFencer's brushes (for Photoshop) Into SAI - And i still haven't succeeded ó___ò
Do you happen to know how to convert a photoshop brush into a SAI brush?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Anomalies13 In reply to Fiamma1221 [2012-02-13 07:48:48 +0000 UTC]

Not trying to butt in but this sounded like an interesting challenge. Essentially, you want to figure out how to convert ABR files to BMP files, as it is my understanding that SAI uses BMP for it's brushes (although I read somewhere else that it uses "ini" as it's file extension for brushes... so hmm ). I found this article about converting Photoshop brushes into brushes for other software, suggesting converting them into PNG, perhaps you can try that but convert them into BMP instead: [link]

What I would do is just open Photoshop, open the brushes and click the brush on the canvas (in it's own layer), however big the canvas needs to be for the brush, and save it as a png file, but that's because I have Photoshop. However!! GIMP is a free art program that can read photoshop ABR files, so perhaps you can try this method via GIMP. And then if you have Windows, maybe give abrMate a try. You can check out it's review here: [link]

Hope that helps somehow. Sorry if I'm not a big help, I don't use SAI.

superniju [2012-02-06 07:54:33 +0000 UTC]

is it ok to share links that are not from DA?

I have resources that I find useful when drawing:

1) posemaniacs - they have different poses/positions, as well as 30 second drawings and hands for drawing [link]

2) onehundredone - this one shows photos of both men and women, ages 0 to 100. useful for practicing faces [link]

Cgtextures is pretty good, but they do have a 15 meg limit each day and they will ban you if you make multiple accounts.
