Description So I finally got around to making a new shading tutorial like I said I would. Instead of in PS, though, it's in SAI, and it's really not that difficult and I find it to be a great fast way to shade fur, so that's why I said it was mostly a fur shading tutorial in the title. idk lol w/e
I think I pretty much covered everything on the image... sorry for the amount of text lol. It's a little more than I anticipated.
If anything is unclear then I'm open for questions ouo b

art and character are mine!

I'm so happy I found this! I needed a technique to shade a drawing because the character had patterns and spots on them, and I didn't want to shade them individually! This came in very helpful, also it helps focus on values on the shading rather than the colors under the layer ^^Β 

Thanks for the help!

Theres a lineart tool in SAI?? ._. I never knew that. Might I know where it is or how can I get it? ;w;

pipamir In reply to CaptainChaotic [2015-08-28 15:48:56 +0000 UTC]

I think it depends on what version of SAI you have. I haven't used SAI in quite some time now so I'm not really sure but I know that an older version of SAI doesn't come with a lineart brush pre-made, but a newer version does. You can always make your own lineart brush, theres definitely some tutorials on making different brushes on SAI.Β

I like how you explained how you did it, but the brush settings would have been nice to use. Mine didn't look at all what yours did, but hey, glad other people were helped

I normally have mine around 60-70 c: I change that sometimes depending on what I'm working on. It's best to just mess with it until you get what you want ^u^
