thank you so much for this!!! I really loved it! ♥♥♥

You are welcome!
Well extreme shiny is not so bad just depends on the picture. It is hard to avoid on broad daylight summer scenery. XD;

This tutorial is wonderful!!!
It's one of those tutorials that really inspires me to try out EVERYTHING sai has to offer.
Quick question, when shading, do you use a tablet or a mouse? I've been debating on whether or not I should get one.

But all in all, this is delightful and thank you so very much ^^

Happy to hear the tutorial was of some help! ^^
I use a tablet and I`ve used to draw with a mouse. I`d advice to get a tablet. The difference is significant. Plus drawing with a tablet is faster.

Some of these techniques work on Photoshop, too much to my surprise! Anyways, thanks for the tutorial! I used it very wisely!

Exarrdian In reply to Kiwi-Punch [2011-01-18 18:54:30 +0000 UTC]

Yes, this can easily be done in just Photoshop. SAI just blends a bit differently but the final result won`t be too different. Glad the tutorial was of use. ^^
