[BakaWoof]

Is there anyway I can resize the circle? It keeps says selected stroke not exist D:

[mosesdigitalguy4341]

@BakaWoof merge it to a normallayerthen you can resize it



[BakaWoof]

@mosesdigitalguy4341 Okay thank you^^

[mosesdigitalguy4341]

@BakaWoof merge it to a normal layer then you can resize it

[QueenCrocuta]

@BakaWoof Use Ctrl + T for transform tool. It lets you resize and move the circle :)

[BakaWoof]

@QueenCrocuta Thanks a lot ^^

[hakinechan]

@QueenCrocuta H-how do you get it to stop transforming ; A ;

[QueenCrocuta]

@hakinechan Press Enter! :3

[noodles4543]

can i make the circle smaller??but awesome trick tho :)

[yourdarlingdawn]

LOL that was epic, thanks : D

[NinjaGirl1213]

omg i luv u >w<

i had i hard time trying to draw perfect circles on SAI

(cause am still new to the SAI program)

so yeah thank you

[ComaCalm]

Thanks, that really helped a noob! XD

[ReinardF]

Cool idea, but how do I get the circle to 'stop'? Once I get to the end of the circle, the line is still attached to my cursor and I can't fully complete the circle without distorting it.

[shinsengumi]

You can try to press "Esc" button on the keyboard to detach the line : D

[hoodedice]

@ReinardF Press Right-Mouse button. duh. -.-

[teshiki]

@ReinardF

Double click.

The curve tool is a vector tool.

[saseeyy]

i press the delete key on my keyboard but nothing happen ;(

[ComaCalm]

@saseeyy If you click down first, then click the delete, click again, delete etc, worked for me, although first couple of times I tried the canvas wouldn't move! XD

[rawrkarixx]

@saseeyy You have to click then press delete then click again then press delete again lol don't hold down your left click when clicking delete. Also the delete button is different from the spacebar button so maybe that's the problem too lol

[TheChrissyMYYM]

@saseeyy press D on you keyboard.

[iChaseRainbow97]

@saseeyy Go to Others at the top of the page, and then Keyboard Shortcuts, where you will find "Rotate View 90 degrees Clockwise" or "Counter Clockwise", and change the shortcut keys to your liking (:

[qwertlolo]

@saseeyy make sure its the delete key and not the backspace key.

[DeltaMoe]

@saseeyy I guess when you Hold the Left-Click and press delete nothing will happen right?

Try This : Like what he said, press left click, then unclick it then delete then click it again, then delete, just continue until you reach the beginning ^_^

[chaOsMastaGuru]

Very clever

[ColdIronChef]

Great trick! Thanks a million!!

[AnbuKakashi77]

you just saved my life. thank you ♥

[ANAKOsings]

o_o You've saved my life, truly! xD

[Hylianpiratesrule]

Woah, I never would have thought of that!! Haha~

Thank you! XD You're a genius. Or I'm just slow. Or both. : P

[KrazyCatQueen]

I love you so much for this :V

[Toxeec]

Oh my O:

[raininess]

Thanks a lot ^.^

[HarvinainenMiyu]

Thank you so much! ^u^ I wondered about it, but I never thought that it's so easy!

[nickjonasbigfan]

Thumbs up if you feel stupid like i do for not realising it was this easy.

[KajiofFire]

@nickjonasbigfan Definitely feel dumb...

[ChilienN]

good ! :D

[imSNU]

Genius.

[SapphieBlue]

for those who have later versions: the tilting shortcut key is the end button, so press that instead of the delete button :). Works great for me!

[mosesdigitalguy4341]

wheres the delete key ?? on the keyboard???

[raininess]

@mosesdigitalguy4341

since you asked this a month ago I suppose you figured it out by now, but:

It really means the "delete" key on the keyboard.

[HarunaAkatsuki]

BRILLIANT!

[mangadrawer365]

XD Oh wow, it was that simple? Anyway, thanks for posting this, I've been wondering how to make good circle

[TNinja0]

I... can't believe it was that simple. :|

[hado123]

lollll that was fun!

[annakat101]

Its not working for me,

[kenjihimonatashi]

wow so simple xDDDDDDD

[Ithropo]

thanks it worked

[b4bYL]

why does paint tool sai have to be so extra, just make a circle tool init kmt

[Cutest17]

It doesn't work... Maybe the updated version doesn't work?

[CottonCandy2233]

CURVE TOOL?LINE TOOL?I dun have these!

[shinsengumi]

@CottonCandy2233

You need to creat a new Linework Layer first. (see the first 3 seconds of the vedio)

[CottonCandy2233]

dont worry I found it out right after I watched this video

[GreenGearMood]

T'would be so much better if they just had a circle tool or something, but this works well too! You're a genius, sir. Thanks!

[BeteDeDanse]

I have Paint tool SAI but it looks different than yours...*Confusion*

[CottonCandy2233]

U can change teh design of it

[K00rihi]

Wow!

That's so simple yet clever!

Thank you very much! You've solved my bell problem. ^^

[killercrystal]
