Sai Paint tool

Tablet users...SAI's vector is a great tool for those who're using mouse or
just learning the basics.

Guise what's the difference between airbrush and regular brushes?

so right, is there an easier way to do the linework layer?

that makes me really dumb, been using SAI for......4 months? and i still dont know the clipping etc thing

What pen tablet do you use? Iam wondering about buying one and use it with this program.

wacom bamboo this the tablet im using. the tablet is the basics of basics but gets the job done for more casual users. im planning to buy a better one once i figure out which one i want. but for the cheap price it has its more for beginners and as gift.

but like i say if you dont know the program youre using a tablet is kind of useless


Edit:

i still dont know how to layer to color correctly yet

well i must say the best way to learn is to just fuck around and do stuff little thing look around the menus and what not that's how i learned various programs

Q: how to add layers w/o using the "luminous", i mean, if i close and save the half finish work,and wanted to continue coloring it later ,i have to use "luminous" again in order to add layers which will turn the work into black and white.....

what is luminous? and are you saving it as sai

my bad, its was "luminance transparency "
idk what you mean by save is as sai
i just file > save as >close sai

The jpeg thing change it to sai so it saves all the layers

which jpeg thing? my sai is japanese version, so.....i dont understand whats written on it LOL

if you're using layers you need to save the image type as SAI to keep all the layers or it'll will save as a single image

also why are you using luminance transparency?

how to save it to sai? can you give me the icons/name?


i was using luminance transparency coz i cant add a layer without adding it or dont know how to add a layer w/o clicking on it (i watch a random tutorial in youtube and i just mimic on how he added layers)

i cant figure out how to take screen shots

but when you go 'save as' the file type should be switched to SAI

ctrl+ print screen
and paste it on MS paint

Just a technical difficulty on my part.

How do you merge layers of similar colors and yet smear them together? In some samples tutorials, I've seen a clipping button pushed on and off at times.

Another question regarding that, would it be wise to blur the two or multiple similar shades together via Blur tool?

@ crimson, if you're still having problems as to what i mean


@tooge3, i cant help you. mostly i never tried that
