Xiran's TUTORIAL on coloring in SAI.

This vid actually tells you HOW i color in SAI. This includes the tool names, steps, a bit of info on layering/sets/clipping group, and how to use layer modes. I'm using a old picture, found here: http://anime-freak124.deviantart.com/art/Xiran-Desu-152228259 as the lineart :3. thats why i dont have every type of line on a different layer. yeah. uhmmm. wat else should i say? enjoy?

FAQ / Weaponry:
ASLKJDSHAD!!! BRUSHES HNNGH!
--Please stop asking about brushes. They were either modified or downloaded from various sources. I can't email the file to you any more because i busted the computer that they were on. To make brushes, right click on one & select duplicate. Then give it a name & modify the settings. That's how it's done. Good luck :D

[LarrythePlaty]

how to you customize a brushh?? and how come you have so many? are they almost the same?

[XiranSama]

@LarrythePlaty you change the opacity and the size and the hardness...

like, on my compy it's on the right side.

there are so many only because i have duplicates.

[FireEthereal]

does the marker blend come with the basic sai?

[XiranSama]

@FireEthereal it's a modified marker tool. :'D

[Stickwolf14]

I have a question,how do you make a brush?

[XiranSama]

@Stickwolf14 right click on a bush, click duplicate, change the name, and customize it. viola.

Program?

-- first word in title, dumbass

The first word in the title is Xiran. ;D

[XiranSama]

@Alphabeta231 CAPS LOCKS DOESN'T HELP!!!!! /slap'd

anyway. there are lots of methods. when i made this video i used the pen tool, but now i've switched to the airbrush...

for pen tool: 'hard' option. 3.0px size for 1000x1200 canvas. density = 100

for air brush [comes out nicer, trust me]: second to hardest option. 12.0px size for 1000x1200 canvas. density = 30-45 [depending on what you're drawing]

the rest is experimental. in fact, i shouldn't be telling you this. you should figure it out alone

[sparkmie]

eh...question: my brush is really different from yours...the two points of the line i draw by brush are really rounded..and your lines for shading got kinda pointed points....hope you understand what i mean (>.<) dunno how to change it...

[MissCocoIsGek]

How much does it take for you to do a recording for 9 minutes? Mine takes awfully long. :]

[2hotxoxo]

[2hotxoxo]
