Description Here is the first tutorial in a set of Paint Tool SAI tutorials that I am making. I thought that a settings tutorial would be the best to post first, as I will refer to this tutorial in future tutorials.

I hope I explained everything well. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

WOW! Thank you so much for the daily deviation!!! It is quite an honor! Thank you!!!

Nice tut. When i try to access your site it says "This webpage is not available" but i can access other sites normally. I'm using chrome could that be it? I also tried firefox and got the same result.Β 

Something wrong or is it just me?

You can also set tools with their own stabilizer, if you need an exact one with specific tools! (just double click the brush)

This is one of the easiest to understand, yet comprehensive Paint Tool Sai tutorials I've ever seen. I've been using Sai for a while, and learned something new just in the first couple of pages, LOL. Thanks SO much. I could watch PTSai flash tutorials like this all day.

Do you ever plan on creating some more advanced tutorials on how settings can be used/adjusted to create custom brushes and how the different brushes work? ^_^

You can get the trail version/pay for it here: painttool-sai.en.softonic.com/
Or you can download the crack version here (which I used): www.mediafire.com/download/uik…

Yeah, if you want to use the pen sensitivity you need a tablet.

the advanced settings aren't exactly working for me. The brush strokes are bulky and don't end with a smooth thin result. I've tried all the settings but nothing is happening. Can someone help?

Maybe you should try this ?
I had some drivers issue with my tablet before and I do something similar and everything work now.
Try to uninstall and reinstall SAI after doing that but if you have custom brushes, save their settings before doing this !

well, you technically need a license for it (www.systemax.jp/en/sai/) although you can try it out with the trial verson for a month

You need to recalibrate your Β pen, then it should work.
