Description
Easy Vector Line Width/Weight for Paint Tool SaiShare on tumblr: [link] (:
So a day or two ago I uploaded a tutorial on how to do line widths easily in illustrator, a few deviants commented on the fact that you could do it on paint tool sai as well! I did not know this, and there wasn't a tutorial about it on deviantart already so I thought i'd just put one together for easy reference.
It is a bit more limited than illustrator but I mean that's to be expected as one is $60 and one is.. $600+ LOL~
If you have any additional tips to add to the comments please say so, i tried to find a way to "move" the width or to make width "points" that were not attached to the actual line's shape points but i couldn't, i don't think you can
Illustrator's CS5's version:

Psh if you're no good at writing how did you compose that statement? I am an RP instructor and I can tell you: There are all different kinds of levels and stages. In your case the RP is like an outlet to find out a character to draw or maybe find a scene if one arises.

RP instructor? Haha, no i just remember doing like minimal RPing as a kid and now when i see it i'm reminded of being childish.. it's totally my problem though, not RPing v_v. I also don't like it when people read my essays and stuff like that, it's just too embarrassing cause english is not my strong suite TuT
