If you follow tutorials on DA you get the hang of SAI pretty fast.

I don't have a tablet so I cannot try it out but I can tell it's well explained and I like the results you showed. Also, I tried doing something similar on my 3DS with Colors 3D and it works, so yeah. Thanks a lot for the tut.

I have been a photoshop user for many years (the program is great for many things)... but I like SAI so much more now. The possibilities with SAI are endless.

I love digital inking and PS is really bad at that. In SAI you have a lot of control over the pen. I also really like how SAI enables you to easily make your own type of brush and give you a traditional look without it being a pain to use. In PS it doesn't work like a paintbrush you have to constantly use the alt key to mix colors. But PS is very good at a lot of other things that SAI can't do. For drawing I really like SAI but for photomanipulation I prefer PS. In PS you can easily change the look of your artwork with the many layer options and I can easily cut out images for my photomanipulations. I love both programs. But they both have their own strenghts and weaknesses I think.
