Description This is one of the ways you can color lineart in Paint Tool Sai


It may not look like much, but coloring your lineart is worth it! It'll make your drawings look much nicer.

The Watercolour tool may also be useful at blending lineart coloring~

Or why not just preserve opacity? then yu work directly only on the selected layer and can re-colour the drawing that is on that specific laer only...

.....i never thought to use clipping groups for coloring line art
but its so obviously useful in retrospect haha

btw, what do you mean about spoiling the black line art?

RayFierying In reply to Miizue [2016-02-06 23:06:45 +0000 UTC]

Sure!

Lineart - prntscr.com/9zy3czΒ (Pretty good<3)

Color - prntscr.com/9zy3h5Β  (Its what I use but I wouldn't recommend it if you already have a good color brush. this one is blurry and chunky so a lot of erasing involved...)

Finer details and writing: prntscr.com/9zy3rlΒ (Once again, if you already have a good brush don't bother with this one,Β  its very hard and edgy



By the way, what brush settings do you use? o:Β Β  I've been looking for a brush that can easily draw/color finer, detailedΒ markings forever hahaΒ  all of my brushes are pretty chunky prntscr.com/9zy2l8

Nice looking good! I got it from the artist Eukia. I name my brushes after the artist I get them from. That's been my favorite so far! I love your brushes as well! Very nice!

Oooh thank you. ;w;Β 
I've deleted my old lineart and then made a new layer for colored lines 'under' the general coloreation. o-o
But i guess your method is much easier. xD
So really, thanks. c:

AlphaaCrest [2015-08-17 06:34:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh interesting you do it differently from me! I use preserve opacity on the line art layer ;v;

Ca55tamere [2015-08-16 23:30:30 +0000 UTC]

I actually lock (preserve opacity) the lineart layer. It's what I do to color my lineart X3

RayFierying In reply to Ca55tamere [2015-08-16 23:31:29 +0000 UTC]

ooo another interesting method,Β  I'll try that too


can you manually choose your colors using that method?

Ca55tamere In reply to RayFierying [2015-08-16 23:35:02 +0000 UTC]

yep, just lock the lineart layer and choose whatever color you want. It's good when you want to mix colors together on the lineart too
