Paint Tool Sai users: Lower the density of the eraser to about 16.

Actually, Density is more or less the same as Flow in PTS.

Hello River!

I have a question;

For SAI would you say flow and density are pretty much the same thing? :3

RiverSpirit456 In reply to SkittySea [2015-07-31 17:33:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, they function the same way.

If you use SketchBook on the iPad you can just, as she said, erase some parts. I imagine it takes longer but the results are good.

I watch your speedpaints a lot, so I've always wondered how you do this or that (specifically those beautiful tears and shading!).
These tutorials are really good and detailed, and helped me a lot! Thank you again!

avenryn [2015-04-13 15:50:35 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, River!

For anyone using SAI, I figured out how to create okay tears there:Β 

Create a white/blue color and do the same thing River did, with a stream of tears gathering on either side of the eye.
Select only your tears and, using an eraser set to about 20-40% Density, do what River did: erase the shadowy insides of the tears.Β 
Then, using a black airbrush set to about 80% Density, go over parts with extra shadow on a Multiply layer.Blur away the edges of the black. You can turn the layer's opacity down as needed to fit your lighting setting. Then add the sparkles with a round white brush set to 100% Density! You always want the brush's stroke stabilizer to be "Not Specified" or somewhere around S-4, but the pressure stabilizer can be around 15. Both these options are found by double-clicking the pen.Β 

Hope this helped! :3

avenryn In reply to Explodingclaws101 [2015-04-13 15:54:09 +0000 UTC]

She uses Photoshop cs6 (possibly Extended? XD). I think some of the things are specifically to PS, but there are ways to mimic it in other programs. After you get to know your program, you can experiment with different ways to make tears. :3
