Description Edit: Adding some more to help make this tut more unique and helpful xD

Dedicated to all mouse artists who think they can't do what tablet users can

**This method works just fine with tablets as well

Should work with versions 7+.

How to do it on SAI:

It might not work depending on how old the version is.

Did the stroke thingy, but took so long, like it took me 30 minutes, which is half of my computer time restricted by my parents. T-T

How long it takes depends on a lot of factors. How detailed the picture is, how accustomed you are to the process, etc.

Yeah, but it kinda makes my parents go mad when I misuse my computer time.

I'm not sure what brush you're referring to. This works with any brush of any size. It all depends on what you want. I just used one of the default brushes.

Thank you, though
