When I was resizing it in Paint Tool Sai, it became all blurry and hard to see the sketch, any tips or help?

Lanahpyon In reply to samiyams [2014-07-15 16:18:48 +0000 UTC]

this is actually quite normal, you just need to reduce the opacity of the layer with the sketch, zoom in,  create a new layer, and draw the lineart there
if it's too hard to see, maybe duplicate the sketch layer or use different colors in the sketch so you can see more details. hope this helps c:

Raspberry-Sky In reply to ??? [2014-07-14 16:27:29 +0000 UTC]

Do you make palettes when choosing your colors? How many colors do you typically use for shading skin? ; v ;
This is really helpful, too! Thank you for making it!

Lanahpyon In reply to Raspberry-Sky [2014-07-14 16:40:24 +0000 UTC]

I mostly just choose some random colors, but I try to change them a bit, like blue will get more purple-ish when it gets darker etc >w<
skin: 2-3 colors are enough I guess

How do you make her eyes smaller without redrawing? 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Lanahpyon In reply to hae-neul [2014-07-14 09:02:58 +0000 UTC]

in the drawing or in the pixel?
with erasing, but the pixel one needs a special eraser to keep the edges sharp
sta.sh/09hk17wczmo that's how you do a binary eraser in sai ^.^

hae-neul In reply to Lanahpyon [2014-07-14 16:45:33 +0000 UTC]

Ooh! Thanks for the tip! o u o.
I meant like how you make her eyes close smaller when you animate. Step 12~

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Lanahpyon In reply to hae-neul [2014-07-14 16:57:49 +0000 UTC]

well I have the eyes on a separate layer, so I just duplicate them and change them a bit until I have 4 frames or more because when you try to squish them with the transformation tool in sai they'll get ugly and blurry so changing the already existing eye would be better owo

Lanahpyon In reply to The-Ramen-Pot [2014-07-13 22:59:26 +0000 UTC]

1. depends, what program do you use?
2. I used Photoshop Cs4 for animating but there are many free programs like gimp or just online gif makers with which you can animate stuff owo
