UPDATE 2:
Just realized you can pin stuff to change it's hue and saturation too, which is pretty cool! So I added a separate section explaining pinned layers to include that.

UPDATE:
- Changed the info on the Ctrl + Arrow key shortcut under Transform & Move, wich wasn't completely correct.
- Added a way to make big gradients (near the bottom)
- Added some info about resolution/dpi, which a lot of people have wrong (under the gradient tip)
- Also added SAI's logo at the top because it looks nice yey

This is getting so long oh god. I think I should split it into a few tutorials :')

As promised, here's my tutorial of SAI things! I know there're a lot of SAI tutorials out there already. But I noticed (specially with the shortcuts) that a lot of them are missing some stuff others have, so I decided to make one myself with everything I can think of so you can have it in only one tutorial instead of many. So if you know something useful that isn't here, please let me know so I can add it!
It's BIG and maybe I write a lot trying to explain things haha, but hope you can give it a look because I think some stuff here are really handy to know.

Btw, English is not my first language so sorry in advance if there're any grammar mistakes!

OTHER PEOPLE'S TUTORIALS TO COMPLEMENT

The Basics: Get to know the program interface and what tools do

Tool Settings: Explains everything you need to know about drawing tools' settings

Linework Layer / Vector: Useful tutorials to understand better how the Linework layers work and how to use them

Custom Brushes: SAI brushes aren't as fancy as Photoshop ones, but you can still customize them to an extent

And I guess that's everything! Hope you find this useful. More like, please find this useful so I didn't spend so many hours and energy writing this in vain lmao. Can I sleep now?

Other tutorials and step by steps I made:

Simple Coloring Tutorial - Part 1 // Simple Coloring Tutorial - Part 2

Foliage Steps

Soap Bubbles Steps
