You can find the brush here, I have it set to 2 px to make a larger block:Īnd then I just checker it to make more depth in the shading. To make the pixel-y pattern, I like using Photoshop because it’s a lot easier to use the pixel brush there. Now, this is a point where I’ll take the drawing over to Photoshop. When doing a hard colored picture, I’ll use Guy. So for my Mew drawing, I used my soft brush, Luke, for the initial sketch:Īfter I finish the sketch, I draw the line art using my hard brush, Guy, and then I smooth out and shape the lines in places I see fit: I really like using round brushes with soft ends for sketching as well as soft coloring and blending.
I mainly use 2 brushes and 2 erasers in Sai:
My Mew avatar would be an example of one of my hard-lined drawings. I have 2 primary styles of coloring: Painted-Lineless and Hard-Lined. Sure! I’m always happy to answer any questions~ So, I mainly use Paint Tool Sai lately and then I use Photoshop CS2 for touching up. I take down the opacity of the sharpened layer to about 40-60%. After I PS it (which is nothing more than a linear contrast curves layer and some warming via selective color) I shrink, duplicate the image and run a Paint Daubs filter (both settings on 1) to sharpen it. I dig the lines, so I’m going with those.ġ2. Or I can refine further with a nice textured brush and make it look more realistic. Since it’s kind of quick and cartoony, I can lightly line it and make it pop. Before I export, there’s a few things I can do to make it better. Pretty much why I like to digital paint, besides it being cheap.ġ1. I try and fix them as much as I can in SAI with painting, but digital lends itself to the ability to fix quickly. Last thing I do is paint his eyes! Time to export and edit the colors a bit in Photoshop. I pick my background color and begin to use it to clean up the edges.ġ0.

Alternately, I’ve brushed greens and blues and purples to cool skin before.Ġ9. Once I’ve made some headway on refining, I get a gigantic airbrush (about 200px) and turn down the opacity to about 8-11% and begin to brush some reds and yellows onto the face to warm it up. Still fixing up with the airbrush + watercolor (sparingly) + acrylic.Ġ8. This is a mistake I and a lot of artists make, I think.Ġ7. I remember that it is entirely possible to overpaint things, so I try and enhance what I’ve already done instead of trying to repaint it. I also tighten up with an airbrush on these settings, changing only the opacity and size. But using the same colors to blend without eyedropping new ones will make the color palette a bit flat. A lot of nice pretty colors are on our canvas already and it’d be a shame to waste them. I begin to pick up colors from both the canvas and the color wheel to make details. (I toggle the size and opacity, but on the side of smaller + darker.) This is the brush I do the first few details with! I got it from Tumblr, you’ve probably seen it around, it’s that really good blend-y edit for the acrylic brush: If you paint over a cooler area with a warmer watercolor, it will change it, of course.Ġ5. I change the color depending on the saturation of the area being painted, so I switch to an orange for more red areas. I blend all the colors together on the same layer, just basically mixing everything. I begin to blend with a sort of pinky peach color, to start. With my water color brush on these settings (the size/density get toggled, and usually on the side of larger + lighter opacity): I use this little chart for starter skin colors:Ġ4. I’m being bold with a lot of the color choices, but it’ll pay off. I’m concerned with just covering the blue of the canvas. On the same layer, I begin to block in colors (over the lines somewhat).
All of this is done on the same layer.Ġ3. It looks ridiculous right now and that’s ok. Using a brown or tan color, I draw on some line art. The color I used is a peachy skin tone.Ġ2. Above that I begin to block in colors in a shape that resembles what I’m painting. I fill the canvas with a dark, desaturated color. You’d be doing yourself no favors trying it in Photoshop.Ġ1. I decided I want to draw a guy this time, with a smug expression. Basically, it’s a quick way to get started on a painting. This is gonna be a face so I can show the details. This was an experiment I ended up liking.
