Description
After learning SAI and seeing the greatness of it. I just had to share it with all my friends. And so I made a tutorial to show them even more of the greatness.And to also show those like me with bad hand-eye co-oridination thus bad line-art the greatness of it!
It's just THAT GREAT!

If you hold alt and middle click, then the dots will stop being selected (red) and won't all be erased

I've heard of SAI a long time ago, but it didn't appeal to me. And then, when I saw this I decided to give it a go and what do you know, it turned out to be a fantastic tool! Thanks for the tips!

Does anybody know how to (if it's even possible) to copy and paste strokes? I know you can select them through the edit options, but then what... >.<*

The thing that pisses me off is that photoshop, despite being more powerful in basically every way, doesn't have a line tool like SAI. Normally it's not a problem, but sai doesn't have a smudge tool, which is a huge problem.

I really need help: I was working on the vector/linework layer when I accidentally pressed the Shift key while on the pen tool. It had made a square box, and when I released, the little dots became bigger and red. How do I get rid of them?

I'm not a great drawer or anything, but I'll surely check this out.

Mine didn't come with a line tool.

what you have to do is when you have your new canvas/page up, go to where the layer/s are - there's 2 rows of icons there, on the top row of icons above the layers, there's one that looks like a blank page, and next to it on the right, there's an icon that looks like a page with a small pen on it, click on that and it'll create a vector layer, on vector layers you can use the line tools, i hope that made sense! ^_^
