F.A.Q:
(updated 15/01/2012)
"WHERE CAN I GET SAI?"
[link] this is the official site, where you can get a free trial for one month, after that you must buy it..... yes, piracy DOES exist but i won't tell you where.
"CAN I DO THIS WITHOUT A TABLET?"
It's not easy, but yes, you can. The result might not be exactly the same but you can get a similar work. But you have to arrange the transparency and other features of each brush to achieve certain effects. How? Well, i don't know, i don't paint with my mouse for more than 3 years so i forgot how to do it.
"CAN I USE THIS WITH OTHER PROGRAMS?"
Yes, you can. Not everything, but at least the coloring technique.
"IS THERE SAI VERSION FOR MAC?"
No, but there are other good programs for MAC, you can try those.
"WHAT'S THE SUPR BUTTON?"
Sorry people, i don't own a laptop with the keyboard in english, so i think you have it as "delete"
"CAN YOU SHARE YOUR WATERCOLOR BRUSH SETTINGS?"
[link]
"CAN YOU SHARE YOUR REDJUICE BRUSH SETTINGS?"
[link]
"CAN YOU SHARE YOUR CHARCOAL BRUSH SETTINGS?"
[link]
The texture and the brush tip can be found at the download section of this description.
"WHITE LAYER AND DARK LAYER... I JUST DON'T GET IT"
[link] check this small pic to understand how to arrange them. Why do i use them? As you see, i paint and my color doesn't respect the lineart at first, so i erase later... to find every part that i wanna erase, instead looking at a white background i use the dark layer. Also, if the white layer is well done enough, i can select it, invert it and erase the parts that i don't need without using the eraser -which takes more time-
=A= well... as it's kinda hard to explain and stuff... I've made another pic to explain it as a step by step... Some of you might notice the good side of using both... if you don't it's fine... that step is optional anyway. [link]
Anyway a lot of people asks me this even if the answer is big, with examples and clear, so i won't reply to that question again.
"HOW CAN I MAKE MY OWN BRUSH"
e_eU rly?... ahh... this is the tutorial where you must learn it... read it again plz.

What programs DO you recommend for a Mac?
I tried to get SAI on parallels on my Mac, pen pressure didn't work.
And I tried to get Clip Paint Lad, but I couldn't find an english version or an english patch, plus the japanese free trial from the official website won't work for me.

I don't have a MAC...and SAI for MAC with no pressure... isn't the same.
So, i don't know the answer.
Is there an IllustStudio version for MAC? that program is nice and very popular lately

Assuming you haven't found the answer yet, she explains how to properly install the brushes under step 5. That is, add the burshe's name in the notepad version of the folder. Hope this helps

Q____Q
Ugghhhh...
I need help with the Brush Textures...
I have been working on transferring the textures in my 'tones' file to the 'brushtex' file for about 2 hours straight now,...
I followed all your steps over and over, but I get stuck on editing the 'brushtex' folder with the NotePad...
My steps would look like this:
'Sai 1.1.0 > brushtex > brushtex'
At the last Brushtex, I got this blank note titled Tones...
So I copied and pasted each Texture exactly as you said;
1,tones\AAA.bmp ect, ect for every last one.
;_; ...after that I saved it...
and opened up my Sai...
;___; Nothing.
What am I missing here?
lol... sorry to bother, <'XD
I love you tutorial and all- Thank you for it! ; v ;
It seems extremely useful-
I feel as if i'm missing a step that will make me feel extremely stupid once you explain to me...
> u > well, anyways... Thanks for reading~

when i made the tutorial for sai, mac wasn't able to use it. I'll change it but anyway most of the steps of my tutorials won't work due lack of pressure and differences between mac and pc

Pandapin In reply to ??? [2012-06-19 20:15:50 +0000 UTC]
Hi! I have a question about the textures.
I din't understand how I can install them in SAI completely, should I just drag the maps with the texture file to brushtex/other map?
Because I tried doing that but nothing showed up on the texture options on the brush tool.
By the way, thank you for the tutorials! They are very helpful!
π: 0 β©: 1
DyMaraway In reply to Pandapin [2012-07-05 00:29:35 +0000 UTC]
you must drag the files to the folder and some people says they only do that and the program shows them next time they open it.
but other ppl like me, have to write the name of each file as i showed inside a notepad file and save it to be able to use textures.
others can't use textures no matter what i don't know why
