O_O... I tend to color parts of my lineart differently too~ thus the different layers. XD

ah really smart! xD
I should do that too!
I've sometimes used one lineart layer for two characters, but that can be so ugly if you use colors in the lineart xD

Wooo amazing tutorial I cant believe you use the airbrush tool to do your lineart O.O You must have really steady hands and a lot of patience :3 Your lineart always looks so crisp This tutorial is a lot of help <3 I might just download the trial to see what it's like and WOW Amazing commish

NickBeja In reply to i-Lina [2009-05-10 11:21:43 +0000 UTC]

yeah the airbrush makes crisper lines than the pencil tool~ XD... nah it's the stabilizer that does the magic with the lineart~

Deamond-89 In reply to ??? [2009-05-09 20:39:56 +0000 UTC]

Very nice~ ^^ I use hundreds of layers instead xD lol *fails*

For your question: That option doesn't exist on DA anymore. I think they turned it off 2 years ago cause too many people abused it to get more attention. They used works of pros for their preview and then their own works for the real pic....

Q: How do you do linearts? I personally find them very tedious and don't know any other methods other than tracing the whole sketch...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

NickBeja In reply to kiwikaiwii [2009-05-09 22:46:41 +0000 UTC]

Oh... yeah it is basically just tracing the sketch. XD ... I dunno it kinda comes naturally once you get used to doing it.

softmode In reply to ??? [2009-05-09 18:33:29 +0000 UTC]

Instead of using the magic wand to select the layer, the same thing can be achieved easier by ticking the "Preserve Opacity" box left of the Clipping Group box, above the Selection Source box, and under the Opacity slider.

This locks the transparency of the layer, but you can still paint on it. (Same thing as that one button in photoshop that I forget the name of, but is in the same location.)

yeah someone told me that earlier. XD... yay for learning experience! I should learn more about SAI! Even if I've had it for one year, I'm still kinda noobish at it. XD

softmode In reply to NickBeja [2009-05-10 15:51:56 +0000 UTC]

I read tutorials about things I already know about because I know somewhere out there, someone has an easier way of doing something I do, that I never thought of.

... like mapping the fire button to the mouse wheel in shooting games.

Ohhh the stabilizer sets the smoothness of your brush strokes~ the higher the smoother! It only works with tablet though >_<
