[SAI] The Making of a Fan Made Vector Tracing - Part A (Line Art)

[amassasa]

sir, is there pressure sensitive vector brushes on SAI? like in adobe ilustrator?

[tjmixmasta]

Can I get the name of the song? Super cute. :D

[NodokaHikaru]

You guys all know if this person posted all this in japanese instead of english then you would be praising them instead of yelling about art theft.

[Feonalilly]

@NodokaHikaru LOL SO TRUE

[OshiiBenoHani]

alot of ppl get mad and or jealous when they see ppl do this because they dont have the time patients or talent to do this so they make up bad things to say about ppl who can do this. this is a great picture no matter wut anybody says. btw if u got a tablet it would be easier.

[shainonn]

@OshiiBenoHani Learn English.

[OshiiBenoHani]

@shainonn Forget you I already know English I was using "text talk!" I guess you're not smart enough to figure out what I'm saying.

[Sveeiren]

Tracingggg c:

[Lilypad443]

@Sveeiren i agree! if they can trace why cant they try to draw their own pics

[Sveeiren]

@Lilypad443

Exactly. Though i like to think of tracers as wimps really. They're too afraid to draw something on their own. Or too lazy.

[MaishidaSakusei]

@Sveeiren I feel the same way. I do like to draw my own things as well. This was just a project I wanted to get done. It wasn't out of laziness. This damn vector took me more than 8 to complete. I do have other art that I've done myself.

[Sveeiren]

@MaishidaSakusei

I sure hope so :c Please do show me some time, I'd love to see your artwork.

[issamawarrior]

This is still tracing

"vectors" as you call it is still tracing over the original to get a "cleaner lineart"

So yea

you're tracing the lineart to make it look cleaner.

[magicalelephantz]

Id still consider it tracing. Just digitally. Your still modifying and copying something that isnt yours, without the original artists permission. Other peoples artwork shouldnt be modified without permission.

[MaishidaSakusei]

@magicalelephantz I agree,

[LightGuardianAngel]

how do you make the lines thiner? :3

[MaishidaSakusei]

@LightGuardianAngel Use the Pressure tool. Click the line point you want to make thinner and just drag your mouse to increase or decrease the lines width.

[kkjeannefan07]

question:do u know how to add the white hair when you're vectoring a manga pic?

[MaishidaSakusei]

@kkjeannefan07 As far as I know, SAI doesn't have any ways of showing your transparency. So usually in other programs the transparency shows as a grayish transparent grid, while in SAI, it only just shows as white. I just save my SAI file as a Photoshop PSD than save it in a transparent PNG. If your talking about something completely different from what I answered, just comment again in more detail.

[kkjeannefan07]

@MaishidaSakusei i mean if i want to vector a manga pic should i do the same as if it's a anime pic?

[ghostie7790]

omg this song is so cuute.. my eyes are bleeding!

[LivinusX]

this is actually a good vid for learning how to do lineart. just think of the original picture in this vid as your sketch.

and to the people who call this 'tracing'. learn how to fucking read. dumb asses.

[magicalelephantz]

@LivinusX The title says "vector tracing".... unless I'm a "dumb ass" and not reading that correctly.

[LivinusX]

@magicalelephantz you know you can change the title of videos anytime you want. and I commented on this vid...what 1 month ago? yes 1 month ago. read. da fuck. I hate getting comments like these. dont reply.

[magicalelephantz]

@LivinusX reply.

[LivinusX]

@magicalelephantz FAG.

[magicalelephantz]

@LivinusX I don't have sex with other women, sorry to disappoint you.

[LivinusX]

@magicalelephantz you know I print-screened this and put it on a site. now about 500 people are laughing at your stupidity. so shut up. damn.

[xCherryPanda]

Guys this isn't tracing this is VECTORING. People do this to put completely clean renders in signatures. As far as I know all vector creators even say they don't own it, just VECTORED it.

[AyameTheDevil]

@xCherryPanda Seconded. They're an excellent resource for signature and desktop makers.

[TheEmoSkeleton]

@xCherryPanda call it whatever you want it's still tracing no matter what

[xCherryPanda]

@TheEmoSkeleton No there is a difference. Tracing doesn't benefit ANYONE. Vectoring benifits wallpaper makers, signature designers, and all types of other things.

[Sweetiebellful]

...wow..teaching people to trace? Tracing is stealing. stupid

[Azumangafan12]

@Sweetiebellful VECTOR.

[Sweetiebellful]

@Azumangafan12 VECTOR IS STILL TRACING

[Azumangafan12]

@Sweetiebellful VECTOR IS NOT TRACING, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT TAKING CREDIT OF THE FREAKING PICTURE.

[HarvestNine]

@Azumangafan12 Semantics.. they are pretty much one and the same regardless if you take credit or not. The only difference is that vectoring is digital (and looks much better) :p

[xCherryPanda]

@HarvestNine No the difference is that vectoring is useful to other people.  Tracing isn't. (Unless your talking about it in general.)

[Sweetiebellful]

@Azumangafan12 uhm..giving credit or not it's still tracing. o.o

[awesomelogic]

Traaaacccinngnnngggg.

[ItalianTomato00]

@awesomelogic Vectoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­orriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

._.

[finegirl1993]

how long did this take you to do ?



[Vocaloid898]

i dont like this as long as people dont trace and then claim as their own.i like the just lines look to this picture tho

[Ampsoundez]

I have to try this noa... ._.

[likedreads]

How do you do this o-o ?

[MaishidaSakusei]

@likedreads When you create a new layer. Click the "New Vector Layer" instead of the "New Layer" button. After that just use the "Curve" tool.

[AshySama90]

@MaishidaSakusei how come I don't have the curve tool?

[MaishidaSakusei]

@AshySama90 Did you create a "New VECTOR Layer" or just a "New Layer"?

[AshySama90]

@MaishidaSakusei Oh...
