Well, that seemed like the ticket, wouldn’t you think? I picked one that seemed likely and downloaded it, and unpacked it to a handy spot on my hard drive. rar files that apparently contained installations of SAI with the additional brushes. Some were, of course, the tutorials, but some seemed to reference file names inside archives. Next, I did a Google search for the exact name of the brush mentioned in the hair tutorials I’d seen, and came up with a few hits. I can’t 100% confirm this, since as you will discover I’m not about to run its installer to find out. ( Spoiler Alert: Though I did not figure it out then, I now suspect the additional brushes to be a product of the fan-made “SAI English Pack” hosted on. Well, that means that wherever these brushes were, they weren’t being supplied by SAI’s creators, at least not directly. Little did I know that was the beginning of the problem.įor one thing, no new brushes appeared. Going back to Systemax’s English-language website, I downloaded the installer just to make sure I had the most current version. I even paid for a license and everything. But where did they get it? I myself downloaded SAI direct from the maker - Systemax, a Japanese company - so one would think I had the full official release. It became clear that some people were using a form of Paint Tool SAI that came with more stuff. Where do I download it?Ī: You don’t download it, it comes with SAI.Ī: I don’t know what you’re talking about. The commentary I read often featured call-and-response sequences such as: So why couldn’t I arrange the settings to do something similar? As it turned out, from reading commentary and studying the settings closely, my installation of Paint Tool SAI was missing the textures and brush patterns being used by these other artists. To my surprise, all the hair tutorials I saw claimed to feature stock SAI brushes. What I expected was that I’d find someone’s custom brush that looked like it would do the job and then have to load it into SAI somehow. So after finishing the pic (because of course when running into a bit of difficulty on a project, the thing to do is bull on ahead and finish with what you’ve got and then go hunting for a fix), I decided to search and see what other SAI users were doing to make hair. In other programs, I’d had a selection of virtual brushes to use that simulated hair strands well enough, but there really didn’t seem to be any great options in SAI.
But I wasn’t entirely happy with the hair. I think it came out all right, in that I didn’t immediately regret posting it right after hitting the button. That pic was created mostly in Paint Tool SAI. Who the hell are you, then? A figment of my imagination? 150 views or so, and how many thousands are on dA? In fact, you’re probably not reading this now. If you're watching me, it's likely, but if not, it's probably statistically negligible. So you may have seen me post my Power Girl vs.
