Posted in Paint Tool Sai: Custom Brushes Posted 8 years ago
Locked due to 6+months of inactivity in the thread. If you would like this thread unlocked, please PM a mod.


I'm pretty new to using paint tool sai.
I have mostly used Medibang, as well as I never finished an art piece to actually
get to the actual coloring part.

Well now I have and I am very clueless.
Like I know of custom brushes. Just not sure how to make my own.
So I am very clueless how custom brushes and textures work.
If I could have someone who is very kind enough to explain it and break it down into simplest terms, I will forever be grateful.
@Ravaen: Me too and i bought the cutest shoes for a wedding.
I am seriously excited.
I want to wear them right now!

@Noctis: thank you.

and Sai does have it. But it's not so much the lines.
Like i mean it is the lines but using the curve and straight tool...I hate it.

sadly that doesn't really help.
but ah well. I don't think I'll really get any help since most programs go by pen pressure.
I may end up just using the sharp pen tool in medibang to achieve better lines.
lol okay then
Fair warning I am a highly slow artist.
I need to finish a personal project by tomorrow first before i get started on my orders.

I also may do them out of order.
I normally just do which one is the easiest first out of all my orders.
Alright I'll put you on the slot list.

kinda hard to explain the "How" part.
I just try a bunch of tools and textures and then if I like it, I use it and start going over the lines on a new layer so I don't ruin the previous lines.

I don't have a whole lot. i combined the two linework layers.
I didn't like how it looked so i turned the opacity done on both, combined them and changed programs.

First off, I would like to say I am a digital artist, but I do not use an art tablet, nor can I afford one.
So I draw by using wireless mouse.
Secondly I deeply apologize if this is the wrong section for this.

Alright, so I have been working hard on this art piece for the last month.
But the lineart just does not come out how I wish it would.
Probably because I don't use a tablet and most programs go by pen pressure[or so a friend of mine who is studying to be a manga artist has told me].

I use paint tool sai and Medibang pro if that helps with anything.
My art canvas is about 2000x12000
And obviously too small just looks really off. But I used a size 4 pencil tool with the texture dirt but i feel size 4 is too thick.
And I am just...really bad at lineart...
