You can do it like that, it doesn't really matter as long as the texture is above the layers you want to be textured.

Thank you for making this!! I only have one question,where do you copy (the texture) From to paste it? Can you directly copy it from the desktop, or..?

I'm confused, how did you figure it out??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is what i did:
I opened the texture onto a new canvas. *Draged and dropped*
Then, Click on edit. Then Click on copy.
Go to your picture and click Edit. Then paste. ^ o ^ I hope i helped

Huh, I've always done the textures in Photoshop. It's easier this way if I can do the whole thing in SAI.

hahaha I love using textures on SAI <3
but you don't have to use overlay :/
You can use multiply, but that makes it a little dark
you can use Lumi and Shade, but it's really pigmented
Overlay looks a little wonky if the texture has a color to it (even like a vintage paper-ish tone)
thank you for the good tutorial though!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me too
And yes, I know that,but I think overlay is the best way to use it and thats how i use it, so thats what i put in the turorial.
Thanks!
