I will always make tutorials for free.

I'm so sorry for my Engurishuuu really omg



I'm definitely not good at explaining things but still I hope it helps somehow....
- Feel free to ask questions! I'll do my best in answering what I know.
- It's not a tutorial suited for beginners with SAI, but if you still want to try, I suggest to search first a tutorial that explains the SAI TOOLS well such as :
- I'm just showing the way I draw stars in SAI, there sure are more ways, and you're not obligated to follow it strictly! *U*
- I'd appreciate linking back something you drew using this tutorial, but it's not obligatory.

I'm sorry for that ugly star appearing there and there, I had to draw it. I HAD TO.

thanks so much for looking!

I always struggle with stars, I never thought it could be done just making dots, so thank you for teaching me that there is indeed a way

No matter what I do, I can't figure out how to do that cross-shaped shine for the big stars. How do you shape it?

uchuubranko In reply to UnholyMoonAngel [2017-08-07 19:56:13 +0000 UTC]

I just drew an X then blurred its ends with the blur tool. Maybe you can show me screenshots of what goes wrong?

UnholyMoonAngel In reply to uchuubranko [2017-08-07 19:57:36 +0000 UTC]

Wait, just the ends? That might be what was going wrong, I blurred the entire X. I'll try again and see how it goes.

uchuubranko In reply to UnholyMoonAngel [2017-08-07 20:05:09 +0000 UTC]

the ends of the sides of the lines...of the X amg, I can't word it. Basically both sides of each line. Try using a small size blur tool :3
ok!

How should I add color to these?

uchuubranko In reply to UnholyMoonAngel [2017-08-08 18:46:56 +0000 UTC]

it looks good, yes
to add colour I just lock the layer and colour the X

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial <3 I was wondering how big was the canvas you painted on? For some reason my stars look pretty darn blobby but I think my canvas was too small ; v; Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

uchuubranko In reply to Poncakes [2017-08-05 02:16:30 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for the kind words! ^o^ Β I think it was anywhere inbetween 2000 x 3000 to A4. Β I suggest drawing on canvases bigger than 2000x2000. A good way of knowing if the sky looks alright is zooming out the drawing. Stars should look tiny, sparkly and sharp.(hence addition layer) Β :'DΒ

Does this work for ibispaint also?

uchuubranko In reply to huskythewolfdog [2017-06-16 02:38:30 +0000 UTC]

I don't know about that application, but basically what you need to have (on any program) is :

luminosity or addition layer
select tool
duplicate or copy paste
transform tool

and you'll have a quick, detailed starry sky

Beautiful.

Do you also have tutorials on how to do the milky way? Really having a hard time with it lol

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

uchuubranko In reply to meshidase [2017-01-10 01:49:27 +0000 UTC]

The Milky Way is just a colossal amount of stars, I just add them up until I have white dusty texture. Sometimes I'd airbrush a bit in the middle (on another layer) with pale white/purple and erase inside of what I airbrushed, to obtain this "emptiness" from within the white mass of stars. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
Β Dunno if it's helpful really, but for now I don't have time for another tut, maybe sometime in spring
