What kind of tool are you using? This looks good to me. Very pretty picture of Bunnie there. :3 I've just started using a Bamboo tablet myself. Need to make some art for DA...

Pencil at 50% (so it acts more like a real pencil, at Nikki's suggestion).
DOOD YES. I can't wait to see your stuff in shiny digital. x3

I sadly can't help as I'm still learning myself XD but I really like the sketches ( and the little faces XD)

The faces represent my ANGUISH xD

I don't know anything about Sai, so can't help much there, I'm afraid. By the looks of this, though, you're getting more confident already. 8D
In terms of using a tablet, I just draw the same line about 20 times and ctrl+z it until it looks okay. But that is time-consuming and there's probably a better way so I wouldn't recommend it. |D I DUNNO JUST PRACTICE

Man. I was so stoked to learn about ctrl+z...

Oh man, you were there in person for my most doodle-heavy phase ever, too.

I loved your doodles. I loved our post lunch chalkboard doodles.

Not being familiar enough with the programs involved, let alone how to use a tablet, I'm afraid I can't help much.
For whatever it's worth, though, it DOES seem like you're making progress. More variety, more detail, lots of really good effects (the feathering you do with some of the hairs on display is very nice)...likewise you're doing some more "cartoony" stuff (the "Aaaa" face in particular) that I don't often see from you, but it looks quite nice.

That was me going AAAAAAAA DB xD

I kind of guessed as much, but at least it still made for a good little doodle. X3;

Ahh my god that Scuff.
And... I might be able to help with SAI but as far as drawing on the tablet my approach was 'do it over and over until I suck less'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...that would be practice. x.x I WILL PRACTICE THANK YOU.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'd love to help. I have no experience with SAI or a tablet, so I won't be much help there. If it's the art itself you're wanting help on, I might be able to point out some things. Could you give me more info about what you're looking for, exactly?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh, the 'art' is just practice scribbles to get my hand moving, I would like help with the Sai program, tablet use tips, digital sketching tips and experience, etc.

I'm sorry I can't be much of a help since i have no digital experience whatsoever. But I think these sketches are lovely if that means anything.

It's okay.

You're welcome
If I come across any tutorials or anything, I'll send them your way.

Can't critique without knowing your opinions on these - what you like, dislike, etc and so on. <_< Though it looks like you do a back and forth to sketch on your reploid there instead of multiple lines in the same direction, but it may be the dark room and me being tired from being up so late whups.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When you get on I'll show you what I mean. Easier to just show you visually what it looks like versus me trying to use limited vocabulary to describe it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
OH! And I do have some brush textures and background textures that I can send you to play with if you want when you get more comfortable with the program :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I CAN DOWNLOAD BRUSHES? 8DDDD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can download different effects and textures for brushes as well as layer textures and effects. :3

I think my biggest thing was, don't be afraid to play with the settings of your pen/pencil/brush, whatever tool you're using. It kept me entertained to the point I did find settings I was comfortable with.
Beyond that, I can offer you my favorite folder just for SAI help: [link]
And then this little link with some tips and brush settings to test: [link]
Hope that helps

I AM AFRAID they seem to autosave so if I REALLY screw up, is there a default button?
Thanks so much! 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sadly no default button. Something you just keep playing with until you find what you want.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
these are looking great so far! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, both really. Anything helps. Settings suggestions, techniques, how many sketches to build up from (like I'm used to one REAL sketch but I just watched Tenor draw and she made two before inking so I wonder if that's better or just preference but she isn't currently available)
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
maybe start out with just one and build on from there.
I mean I would suggest starting with something simple since that way of thinking was what I was brought up with. But I used to know someone who would bitch that that's being lazy and you need to start with something complex >.o. so yeah..
Personally I have recently been finding my outlining gets done really quick if I have the rough sketch and thubnails completely sorted
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Preference when I do commissions or am trying something difficult to learn or something. Example: Paon, I did a rough sketch of him because I was deigning him as I went, versus having a per-determined design for him which is why a second sketch was needed for me to make sure my thoughts were clear.- while in Judgement, once I got the pose worked out and anatomy fixed I went straight to inking instead of a second sketch line. So, confidence, I suppose? At times I do it as well when I can't figure out what's wrong and a standard redline doesn't find it for me.
Honestly I say give it a try when you're 100% digital, and even if not? Digital from a sketch can help you possibly gain confidence to just draw without that pre-sketch, if that makes sense. <_< Wouldn't hurt to try and experiential, at least.
SLeep ain't easy whine

Im just learning how to use it myself, so I dont think I can give any helpful hints but that looks really good!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would offer advice if I could but I don't know how to digital art. |D I think these look nice though, especially the lovely bunny-lady. <3
