Easy Paint Tool Sai Tutorial-Colouring

IF I DO NOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS/COMMENTS, PLEASE MESSAGE ME INSTEAD.

for the PEN AND INK PEN TOOL
if you don't have the ink pen tool, that's okay. you can use the pen as an alternative. for the ink pen "look", just go to the pen tool, and then look at the toolbox. look on the bottom right, and there should be four boxes with shapes in them. choose the last one, (rectangle). also, you can go to advanced settings, which should be on top of the pen size tool box, and then play w. the edge hardness (mine is set on 100 but it doesn't really matter). you can also play with the hard -soft settings. to get the look most similar to the ink pen, 10 is probably the best.

I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY COMMENTS ABOUT WHY YOU DO NOT HAVE THE INK PEN, AND WHERE YOU CAN GET IT. if you have tried the above methods and it still does not work, then you can message me.

BTW. srry, i made a mistake. when using the selection tool, you can't rotate the object. well, i mean using the circle w. two arrows tool. srry!!!! i totally forgot =.= so yeah.
if you want to rotate, use the options that appear under the toolbox when you are using the selection tool. there are four options- transform, scale, free deform, and rotate. there's also flip horizontally, flip vertically, rotate 90 degrees CW, and rotate 90 degrees CCW.

remember: PLAY WITH THE SETTINGS/ADVANCED SETTINGS!!
also: the four icons underneath the tool box with various shapes in them determine how soft or hard your tool is. play with those too.

there's probably something wrong with the acrylic, paper, and crayon tools on my computer so just play around with them on your SAI.

OH and as always, comments and ratings are appreciated! :D
i do not use a tablet, i scan the drawings and put them on sai.

[xEverettooSanx]

@huyuchan27

if urs selects the whole picture, then that means u have to go to the layer where u did ur lineart. then u can select the parts u want. hope it helps :D

wheres the blur tool ? I cnt find it anywhere 0.o

[xEverettooSanx]

@99CpFan

the blur tool is al the way at the bottom. if you dont see it, then i suggest u reinstall it :D.

[ImaCat9000]

This was actually simple and clear. The only thing I could say is add some music if you can and maybe write the settings down on what your pen, air brush, and blur were set to. However, I could simply just look in vid and see because it was clear unlike a lot of paint tool sai tutorials I have seen.

If you could, you should do a tutorial on backgrounds. Because unlike Adobe Paint, Sai doesnt have all that fancy nancy stuff to do all of the editing for you. (At least I dont think)

@ImaCat9000

yea, ur right. i think i might make a tut. for backgrounds. its pretty simple. and when i was making this i was rushing so i couldnt add music D; sorry ):. but if u really want me to next time i will :D
