Manga / Anime Tutorial in Paint Tool SAI -- Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch

Just remember! There are bajillions of ways to draw anime, and this is just my method/style. There's always another (and probably better) way to do things.

I tried my best to put the captions where needed, but sometimes it went by a bit quickly. I didn't really wanna mess with slowing down and cutting the video at important places, especially with Windows Movie Maker. xD

But yup, hope you enjoy, and once again, if you have any questions, feel free to comment below!

**Ack! So, cizzmc123 pointed out that there was a good amount of flesh color in the skirt-color layer, and I wasn't aware of it because of my laptop screen's poor viewing angle, so I re-uploaded the video here. The one you're watching right now. That's also why there's a time-warp between the end of the speed-paint and the final picture at the end. xD

Music: Renai Cirlulation by Kana Hanazawa from the anime Bakemonogatari

1. How long did it take you to learn how to use SAI?

2. How long did it take you to learn how to draw so well?

3. How did you learn to draw so well?

4. How to you make sketches like that?

@TheNintendogirl1 Ooh, I like numbered questions.  xD

1. Umm... Not too long, since I already knew how to use PSE. It did take a couple days to get used to the hot-keys and whatnot (customizable in the options menu).

2. D'awww, thanks! I've liked doodling since I can remember, but I started to try to draw seriously... almost two years ago!

3. Haha, thaaanks again. I'm constantly observing. Anime and real life. Poses, anatomy, fabric folds, etc.

4. Um... pen tool?

I really like your drawing! :) I think I'm getting a Wacom Bamboo or Intuos4, depending on how generous my dad decides to be. By the way, what's this song, or the artist at least? So catchy. Thanks! :)

@LilyqiStardoll Aww, thanks! :D :D Good luck with your tablet (be extra nice to your dad!), hahaha. Aaaand the song is Renai Circulation by Kana Hanazawa. It is super catchy. xD
