PaintTool SAI is Love

[allegro]

I made friends with PaintTool SAI recced by _nodrama101_



The Good:
→ The response time is FAST. It's way easier to doodle here using the Pen Tool. It felt like doodling on paper with with a handy Undo. :Db
→ You can CTRL Z; Undo a lot, unlike Photoshop who limits me to 1 Ctrl-Z undo; go to HISTORY for the rest.
→ It has a Pen/Brush-ish SELECT TOOL. (O o O) I don't know how to use it though...
→ Playing with opacity is very easy. Perfect for those who love working with layers.
→ I LOVE THE PEN TOOL.

The Not-so-Good:
→ Where the heck do I get pre-set Swatches? I have to go to the color Wheel or the mixer.
→ Pressing Del rotates the canvas. It doesn't make sense to me. Del button is for deleting!
→ Only 2 Adjustment layers(PS); Filters (SAI): 1) Hue-Saturation and 2) Brightness-Contrast

SAI IS FANTASTIC. I love doodling here! As for coloring, the lack of preset swatches turn me off


One of the more decent doodles I made. Ciel was "completed" in 15 minutes. :O




I want those really neat lines you see in the manga (seems the answer is PS Pen Tool), but I'm too lazy, so I used the SAI pen tool. I think I'm doodling ciel because I only have to draw 1 eye, haha. And yes, I'm having a Black Butler overdose.

Sometimes, I don't even know what I'm doodling. I just doodle without a picture in my head. (-_-);


♦ The hetalia community is one hell of an inspiring place. I mean I would have never tried drawing doodling on pc had I not seen the art here. They art spam! ALAVET xD

♦ joey_fraser is an inspiring person. ♥

♦ Someone gave me a Sony Ericsson phone. It's OLD. Both expandable and internal memories are pathetic, but the audio is decent. Now I pimsleur on my way to work. I get a lot of odd looks because I can't help but mumble stuff, but I DON'T CARE nyahaha~~

I don't really get OC. Boggles my mind. At least SAI got a lot easier after 24 hrs? xD I'm still coloring using PS, though :D

How do you ink your line art? The lines are so clean and straight (after xD )


I-Inspirational...?

...um. I-I do my lines hi-res. If you zoom aaaall the way in, my lines are actually really messy because I never draw one straight line at one go-- I do my lines bit by bit-- but 'since my CGs are usually done on a higher res and then re-sized afterwards, it's not so bad. *cheating*

H-Huh? When did I ever do that? XD";; Oh well.

Yay~!
