ahhh thank you for this wonderful tutorial! it helps me do much-- but i think i need help in the all image for the bucket part. remember filling the whole canvas with a dark color? yeah, after that, i use the bucket with the all image feature but instead of filling the skin part or whatever it fills the whole canvas. it's annoying me because that's how i base when i draw two characters together{usually i use the selection source thing but then it came to me it's easier when i use the 'all image' feature}.

u-uhm i hope you can help me (*οΎ‰nοΎ‰) i'm so sorry if i'm bothering you--

GOD.. I didnt know SAI able to CROP!!!!!!Β 
Every time I want to crop, I move it into photoshop. Wakakakakaka
Stupid me. Thank you

And bashing color is amazing. I usually move to Photoshop after lining method to create basic color there with magnetic laso tool. I'm so stupid making line and never able to make closed line.

I think sai can crop! If you are asking what I think you are orz;
Β 
but of course it doesn't have autocrop like GIMP/ PHTOSHOP, but in that case i use the wand to select blank space, go to select inverse so it's only my picture, then crop by selection.Β

WOW I DIDN'T KNOW THAT MOUSE OVER CTRL TRICK
so damn useful, sometimes I'm just like, wth layer is this supposed to be on

I only the use new view thing sometimes lol I just feel comfortable with a big canvas of unused space //shrugs

rainue In reply to Kaiapi [2014-04-01 23:22:13 +0000 UTC]

lol ikr aslkdjlsdkfj i discovered it by accident (cause of taking a screenshot and holding down ctrl+...)

AND YEAH SAME HERETHATS WHY I ONLY USE THE VIEW FOR LINEARTS >< i wish my screen was bigger //coughs// then it wouldn't feel so cramped ;3; maybe this is why some ppl have 2 screens when they art, and then 3, and then 4 and then a cross of 5 screens AND IT JUST GETS OUT OF HAND

I've read so many tutorials, to the point where they were all pretty much the same. Also, I've been using SAI for well over a year now. BUT SOMEHOW THIS TUTORIAL TAUGHT ME LIKE 5 THINGS????

This is definitely my favorite tutorial (aside from the circles in SAI tutorial, because that was really life-changing) but thank you!!!

:3c there's more shortcuts when you look under help too-- I've been wondering for a long one if there was a shortcut for rotating until I decided to check it

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AkaiAgeha In reply to rainue [2014-03-28 18:30:53 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I've learnt quite a few while struggling with sai in my really early days... I just have to remember I can hold those buttons instead of automatically going with the motion and doing it with my mouse, hahaha. But I didn't know about the rotation shortcut. o.o gonna look up the others I still don't know and remember them. c:

Also, the part about the lines is something I should do. I'm still not accustomed to doing them and so they look all thin and flat for the most part, haha.
