Easy Paint Tool SAI Brushes
One limiting thing about SAI is the number of brushes, as well as the difficulty in making them. Well, screw that! I was doing some digging, and I found some cool resources that everyone who uses this great program might be interested in. There’s others out there, but these are my favorites that I’ve found that I’m currently playing around with.
SAI Tutorial by algenpfleger : Basic run-down of SAI, but this explains the process of creating textures/brushes to add to SAI. It’s more complicated than, say, Photoshop, but is still pretty simple if you take them one step at a time.
9 Paint Tool SAI Brushes : Exactly what it sounds like. Very attractive brushes, along with an installation how-to. Includes chalk, soft, thick, and flat brushes.
Easy Paint Tool SAI Brushes : A few brushes and a large collection of textures! Textures include shell, stucco, rust, watercolor, and a lot of grungy/concrete/etc-type textures. Page includes installation notes.
Paint Tool SAI Pencil Brushes : Includes settings so you can re-create the effects shown, emulates graphite pencil. These are really, REALLY beautiful and accurate, I think!
I am pretty sure there are plenty of people who follow this blog that do use Paint Tool SAI. This is for all of you.

For Photoshop, I just use the program’s default wet media, calligraphy and dry media brushes, and Freakshow’s brushes!

Some SAI things
I’ve talked to several other people who use SAI time after time, and surprisingly not a lot of people are aware of these two features, so I thought I’d share :)
First off, the Stabilizer:
Really neat tool that “stabilizes” your pen. The higher you go on the list, the smoother and straighter your lines get! It’s very very useful if you’re someone who prioritizes precision :)
The downside is that the higher you go, the pen tends to “lag” behind what you’re drawing. It’s easy to get used to if you really like that level of smoothness. I prefer using setting ‘10’ for regular work, and ‘S-1’ when I want to be more precise~

Secondly is the fringe effect. I actually found this out through illustudio’s little drawing process tutorial a while back.
Pretty straightforward. It makes your coloring look like you put it through photoshop’s “sharpen” filter. You can alter the intensity by sliding the bar that says ‘100’ right underneath. It’s very very fun to play around with! :D

Anonymous asked: I dont really know who else to ask about this so I thought id give here a try. Whenever I ink a drawing and then go to erase the under structure, the ink (speedball indian ink or Faber Castel Pitt Pens) comes off a lot as I erase. Is there some way to keep the ink on while erasing?
That is a common problem with tech pens. The heavier and more aggressive you erase, the more ink...
