[SpiritWolf1997]

two silly questions ^_^"

How do you make a transparent BG, and how do you shrink, and/or crop something

Amazing and adorable little cartoon kitteh you got <3

[jellykitten1]

Thanks!!!

[jellykitten1]

Amazing!

My magic wand won't work, is there any other way than to use paint bucket?

[EEKentertainment]

@jellykitten1 you can line it out with the pen tool then use it to fill it in. 

[Silverwolfnyght]

May I ask.... I have Sai, with a tablet, but I have no "Ink pen" Is there a reason for that?

Great tut btw <3

[EEKentertainment]

@Silverwolfnyght My friend doesn't have the ink pen either, I think it depends on your version of SAI.

[GodisAwesomeSauce]

@EEKentertainment If that's so, what version do you use? I don't have pens either and my navigator and tool selection are on the left instead of the right. Your answer is greatly appreciated.

[EEKentertainment]

@GodisAwesomeSauce The reason everything is on the right is because I put them there, you can change what side your menus are on. I have SAI ver 1.01

[MuffinTaters]

D: My SAI made my lines soooooo pixelated. It was so frustrating.

:/

[DarkWolf5432]

Wow, your sketch is better than I could do really trying hard! Great tutorial ^_^

[TheThunderWolf52]

Very nice tutorial^^ I want SAI really bad, but I'm working with an older mac, so there's no way I can get it XD But I'm okay with Photoshop.

[Inono1200]

This might be the best tutorial I have ever seen. Since I like to use SAI, but I gave up because I never found a good way to color and shade within the line art. You are a very good artist.

[EEKentertainment]

@Inono1200 Thanks very much! I'm glad you found it helpful. :)

[alaskanbird]

I never thought of using the marker. Lol. Very cool though. I gotta try the shading.

[BluTwistar]

Awesome video, helps me out cause I just got a tablet and trying to figure out a good way to use it. Is that program free?

[EEKentertainment]

@BluTwistar no you have to pay for it but it's extremely affordable, at least the last time I looked at the pricing.  It's $50-90. so compared to photoshop that's pocket change.

[icywolf451]

wait whats SAI? BTW LOVE IT :3

[EEKentertainment]

@icywolf451 google "sai paint tool", click the first link that comes up.

[icywolf451]

wait whats SAI?

[kapi]

Very nice! But to make things even easier, instead of cutting when you deleted what you didn;t want, you could type d and it will delete! c:

[EEKentertainment]

@kapi ah I'm used to ps with the del and it won't work with sai. thx.

[kapi]

@EEKentertainment Haha yeah, all the DEL key does is rotate the canvas >8c

[EEKentertainment]

@kapi yea I tried the first time and was like WTF??? XD

[kapi]

@EEKentertainment And than i spent forever looking for the keyboard shortcuts in the options and found nothing! Sai should come with something like that by now >8c

[chibifelisje]

i so have to learn to handle the drawingtablet O.o hahaha but i finally orderd mine its not to big but it has everything =^^= just thought to let you know GK ...ooh btw if you may think like who the hell are you im superskitty haha chibifelisje whas my old name =^^=

[EEKentertainment]

@chibifelisje I recognized the icon from somewhere else. ;)

[JemmaGazzaINIT]

Nice vid GK. :)

[EEKentertainment]

@JemmaGazzaINIT Thanks

[Rizafan203]

I'm utterly amazed at what you can accomplish on SAI; unfortunately for me, I'm working w/MS Paint until I can afford to purchase a Tablet to use. But awesome work and this was helpful for any other SAI Users out there looking to get a handle on some of the stuff to SAI. I know that if I had SAI, this would be helpful to no end

[TNRchicks123]

Oh, and um, idk if this is one of those annoying questions, XD, but what kind of tablet do you use? I just got an Intuos4 for Christmas, that's why! ^_^

[EEKentertainment]

@TNRchicks123 I use an Intuos 3 8x6. I think I have that in my profile info.

[TNRchicks123]

Oh, and do you happen to work in disney?

[EEKentertainment]

@TNRchicks123 lol no XD

[TNRchicks123]

Can you do a tutorial on PHOTOSHOP?!?!?

[EEKentertainment]

@TNRchicks123 I might sometime, there's a lot out there already though, but there's not much difference in how I work with either just little diff tools.

[chibifelisje]

within a few days ill be drawing like that to kitty =^^=

[HDFEST]

really helpful!!!

[BonBon1216]

Does SAI need to be paid for?

[EEKentertainment]

@BonBon1216 yes but it's affordable.

[BonBon1216]

@EEKentertainment How much, do you remember?

[EEKentertainment]

@BonBon1216 No I don't but it's under $100

[CimCity13]

that's the one thing i hate about SAI to get the good pen you have to enlarge the canvas to such a huge size:p

[EEKentertainment]

@CimCity13 eh?

[NeaTheWhiteWolf]

THANK YOU! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY HOURS I SPENT WITH COLORING ALL MY PICS D: TILL NOW :DDDD

[snowhusky005]

Best tutorial for SAI I say. ~

[rwmtiger]

nice job and good info. happy holiday everyone.

[silverhope32]

I have Paint Tool Sai, but it doesn't have the inkpen :C Do only the "newer" versions have it? I got mine a couple of weeks ago...I thought that was pretty new..

If anyone has information on this, it would be very helpful ^^

[EEKentertainment]

@silverhope32 I honestly have no clue. O_o I've had this version since like.. Sept 2009, but only started to use ti a lot in July. XD

[silverhope32]

@EEKentertainment hmm..-think think- well, thanks anyway ^^ I'll look at the site for something...

[Kinuoxx]

I got a tablet for christmas, and I love it!

Thanks for this :3

[OMFGITSTAYLOER]

lol i love this, you sound like me when im coloring!!! o.0

oh well its still great

[wolfhowlmedia]

Wait. Time limitations? You shouldn't have time limit.The long-time users of youtube who didn't came in any kind of conflict are granted with video lengths over 15 minutes :o

[EEKentertainment]

@wolfhowlmedia I have a 15 minute time limit, it used to be 10 minutes so I'm not gonna whine. :P I'm not subbed enough for them to even think of giving me longer video lengths.

[wolfhowlmedia]

@EEKentertainment

It's not related to views and YT partnership. People who didn't have had any copyright issues with youtube, and who were online for a while (dunno how much; 6 months minimum?).

I don't have limitations on any of my channels (except the brand new one), and neither should you.

Just look in the upload section, if it says, that "Your account is now enabled for uploads longer than 15 minutes."

[EEKentertainment]

@wolfhowlmedia I had a copyright thing like... three years ago cause I used to make music videos and I've had music replaced cause it was copyrighted. XP I've since deleted all those vids to avoid anything further and only have my own work and CC music. XD But that would probably be why I have a limit. :P

[audifan0037]

thanks for making this tutorial!!

i always had some issues with coloring my drawings but it's going way better now ;3

[MukiXXchan]

This is amazing! This really helps me in coloring, and I love that you did it in Sai! No one ever does Sai tutorials, which makes it difficult for me, cause I don't want to use Photoshop. xD Anyway, this is really awesome! Thank you again. <:D

[EEKentertainment]

@MukiXXchan I'm glad that you found it handy.  :)

[TheRiseofshadows]

MATURE VOICE FTW dude

[EEKentertainment]

@TheRiseofshadows lol uh.. thanks I think. O-o

[KitraxVulpes]

This is great tutorial!

Thanks for making it n_n

[haylz27]

This makes me want to start drawing again. :)

[vampirechibiofreno]

Thank you so much<3

do the lines need to be completely close to select the whole line art to color?

[EEKentertainment]

@vampirechibiofreno no that doesn't have anything to do with your ability to select the layer, it selects anything that is drawn on that layer.

[Lundkaon]

OMG, I'M GONNA RAPE YOUR STYLE NOW THAT I KNOWSS YOUR XECRETS!!! OHHH

[EEKentertainment]

@Lundkaon LOL!

[SumiTobihi]

thanks for taking the tame to make a tut (: i enjoyed it :D and theres always new things and tricks to learn about art. (: i never thought of using the marker tool as the shading so I'm going to try that out sometime. And my paint took Sai does not have an ink tool. O: is your paint tool sai a better version or? anyways great tut and you can draw REALLY neat lines btw. (:

[EEKentertainment]

@SumiTobihi I don't know. LOL!!! I only started using SAI like.. in July, so I don't know much about the versions.

[AlmirahART]

Really fun to watch. Makes me wish I had Paint Tool SAI- the marker tool looks awesome :3

Keep up the great work!

[EEKentertainment]

@AlmirahART Thanks! :)

[EEKentertainment]
