Colorful Lines -Easy Paint Tool SAI Tip-

This shows you how to easily and safely color lines in SAI! Make rainbow sketches! : )

NOTE: Method 2 Only works if you don't plan on coloring them in. Make sure that the part you don't want affected is white! With method 1, you have nothing to worry about. (But make sure you're coloring ON the actual layer!)

Song: Hanyuu no Kyarason (Hanyuu's Character Song): Nano desu.

Hau au!

the second method wont work for me D: am i doing something wrong?

[Hylianpiratesrule]

@TheFansonic That depends on what you're doing o .o What are you doing, maybe I can help. But I will say, this method is actually not the greatest. xD

What I suggest is that you remove any white by going Layer > Luminance to Transparency (this will remove any color), then making a new layer above the lines you want to color and checking the "Clipping Group" option. Then color on that layer and it will apply the color to the layer below :3

[NOMMINGcat]

@FluffyAzureDreams Ah, yes, I just recently figured it out! Thanks though! :D

[FluffyAzureDreams]

@NOMMINGcat (Haha, this is my new account) That's a question that stumped me too for a while; it's actually a separate type of layer, not just a tool; right next to the "new layer" button, there's one with a pen called "new linework layer". I can't really teach how these work in a YouTube comment, unfortunately... and I guess it's not all self explanatory, but fiddle around with it : P

If you have any more questions feel free to ask. :3

[NOMMINGcat]

Aw thanks so much! Do you think you could teach me how to use the line tool? If there is one? I want to make some manga/cartoon cats, and I need straight lines. Only I can't find the line tool! PLEASE HELP!!! D:>
