(tutorial)
i just did a cool thing that i think would be useful if you’re like me and sometimes have a hard time picking colours / a colour scheme for an image
basically i just took a brush with moderate spacing, turned on colour dynamics and set all the hue/sat/brightness to a low (~10%-30%) jitter, picked a base colour, and drew a line down the side of the canvas
it’s sort of like when some people save colour swatches so they can keep their shading consistent, but more for playing around with different tones and lighting on a single surface. it’ll probably be pretty good for skin which is very multi-tonal by nature.
a lot of colours came out that i probably wouldn’t have picked manually, but they still looked pretty cool. and it saves a lot of time because now i have a broad range of colours without having to browse through my pantone swatches or open up the colour picker.
I wish this was a little less stylized, but still - what a wealth of information!OH GOSH! This is one of the most useful things I have ever come across since I always, ALWAYS draw in seams * O*
(click-through)Holy moley I need this on my blog right the fuck now.
I saved this earlier, but I forgot to reblog it. Whoops
lmao I forgot to reblog this too!
I drew a newer/cleaner version of this in English for the anon who asked for an English version a month ago or so? Sorry for taking so long orz
This has the same info in it as before except for one extra point.
Anyways, again, these are all self-observed notes! I don’t study art or whatever! And I highly suggest you look at different pictures of faces and practice this to have a better understanding.

THIS IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL, BLESS YOU
All right, so, here’s a neat little trick that maybe not a lot of people know about Paint Tool Sai - the fact that with one little button you can turn ANY tool into an eraser version of the same tool!!
Why is this useful?
Here’s an example of some pen tool lines:
Now let’s erase a little bit with the default eraser tool.
Zoomed in you can see that the erase line isn’t very clean compared to the rest of the pen line!! This can get annoying when you’re working, especially on lineart. The eraser doesn’t have the same crisp line as the pen does, even on it’s hardest setting, but that can change!!
Okay, how do I do it?
Let’s look at the area next to your color wheel:
You’ve got your select tools, eyedropper, color wheel itself, things to move around. And you’ve also got this funny little guy right here:
He’s the one that makes the magic happen!! Turn this guy on with a click. You’ll know he’s selected if he looks like this:
Now that we’ve selected him, we click back to our pen tool (or whichever tool you’re lining/coloring with). Draw with it. The lines should disappear, because you’ve just turned that own tool into it’s very own eraser!!
As you can see the line is a lot crisper to match the same kind of crispness that the tool originally gave (actually it’s hard to tell here, it’s more noticable when you do it yourself).
Does it really work with every tool?
As far as I know, yes!! Although tools like marker tend to not work as well.
Now you don’t have to add extra types of erasers or even an extra 0% opacity binary, because you can just click this tool!! Saves a lot of custom brush slots.
Enjoy!
This has been a short tutorial.
Reblogging the fuck outta this.
Oh, WOAH. DEFINITELY saving this as knowledge for next time.
