You mentioned blending with the water brush…Do you have any idea how to do something like that on Photoshop?

blending in photoshop - the way I do it - requries a lot of changing of opacity and hardness of your brush constanly to achieve different sorts of blending - there is no such easy way like in SAI. I know some people use the smudge tool to blend but it never looked pretty to me so I don't use it.

Alright. Thank you. Maybe I can find a custom brush somewhere that'll do the job.

from my experience photoshop handles color differently than SAI so it is unlikely you will find a brush that works like the waterbrush in SAI ^^ on the other hand it is not hard to blend in PS if you take the time to learn it - and it works with the very basic brushes

I see you have a lot of brushes, my SAI doesn't have some of your brushes, did you make them?

crimson-nemesis In reply to Caiobella [2016-05-20 12:10:46 +0000 UTC]

I didn't create new brushes, I simply tweaked the ones that were already there, duplicated them, changed settings and such. All the brushes I have can be created with SAIs basic brushes and changes to the settings ^^

Sounds useful.
I just gave up with the magic wand tool of SAI.
It usually select ALL what's inside the canvas.

crimson-nemesis In reply to D-structive [2016-05-18 16:42:25 +0000 UTC]

that happens if you try to select on the wrong layer or your lines are not closed - the magic wand can only recognize hard borders - a clear color change, like it is with lines^^

I usually select things on the "lines layer".And usually, my lines are black, or slightly more clear..
Maybe is becuse I -try to- do fine lines...
