Baka Mandy's Tutorial: Lineart in Paint tool Sai using vector layers

[TyssV2]

Thanks for the tut i've been literally killing my hand doing it manually ROFL

[UMUSTDIE1000]

HELP! I don't have vector! I only have line art there D:

[XDevilGirlxDevilBoyX]

At 1:40 the sizes are diffrent when you draw the line curvy...When i draw it its all the same ...Its not smooth ._. How can i fix that?

[BakaMandy]

@XDevilGirlxDevilBoyX Oh sorry fore replying late. I'm using a tablet and it has pressure sensitivity. Because I'm using the pen tool that lets me free draw vector lines, it detects the pressure so it changes the thickness of the line without me having to make manual adjustments. Also my line is smooth because I have Smoothing turned on. Is that what you mean? o-o

thank you! I didn't know about vector layers before this and inking was a pain in the ass! Btw, what's the song?

[BakaMandy]

@xXfainarufantajiXx You're welcome :) The songs are listed in the credits of the video! ^o^ I used two, first one is called "Adventure" by Capsule, the second is called "The mutations of Life" by Capsule :3

[xXfainarufantajiXx]

@BakaMandy silly me ^^' I love Capsule! especially retro memory~

Thank you so much. That was really helpful. :-) Jeeze, I feel kinda silly after watching this, I was about to go and buy a $350 tablet from Staples but now I don't have to.

[BakaMandy]

@halomaniac15 Tablets are SO worth it! I would still recommend you get a tablet especially if you're looking to get better at digital art. Once you have tasted pressure sensitivity, there's no going back to colouring with a mouse xD. Which tablet were you going to buy? If its your first tablet, I would suggest getting a cheaper, simpler model. I use Wacom Bamboo Fun and it's perfect for my needs at the moment; large surface area and great features. ^^ it's only about $200 too.

[halomaniac15]

@BakaMandy Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately any sort of tablet is out of my budget right now.

[halomaniac15]

@BakaMandy I'll put it into consideration.
