This is really great! But I do have on question. My brush tool in SAI won't taper when I apply less pressure or thicken when I apply more. But it does with the pen tool. Why won't it work with the brush? And how can I make it work?

moonflower20000 In reply to Faithful-Imagination [2013-10-29 15:34:37 +0000 UTC]

Above the density tool for the brush there is a bar called "Min Size" if you want it to taper you have to make it set to a low number, if you set it to zero it starts as a very thin line and widens as you apply more pressure and tapers out when you apply less pressure. The higher the number is what size the brush starts out as and ends as.

Momo-the-Bunny [2012-01-19 09:04:48 +0000 UTC]

For the shading, wouldn't it be easier to clip layer over the base layer of the skin? Since it's color would only appear over the base layer?

drathe In reply to Momo-the-Bunny [2012-01-19 11:29:09 +0000 UTC]

yeah, maybe it would, but even now when I've learned about clip layers, I still tend to color everything like that

Momo-the-Bunny In reply to drathe [2012-01-19 16:47:19 +0000 UTC]

yes I do but it's so much more complicated than when i used to work with markers~ My coloring was a tiny bit better with markers as for now, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it

I had to zoom to about 400 to see the density and such of both the brush and the airbrush. X.x
This really helps me, thank you! ^_^
