hi!! i actually just got sai and i was wondering if u had any tips for it?? thanks in advance!!
Shortcut buttons are your best friend. Rework your brushes to a certain keyboard button and remember them, it’s easier and faster than manually changing them.
CTRL-ALT changes your brushes sizes on the spot.
SPACEBAR is to move the canvas but not the drawing itself
CTRL moves the drawing
CTRL-SHIFT moves a layer drawing
ALT is the eyedropper tool if you don’t want to right click.
ALT-SPACEBAR turns the canvas
CTRL-SPACEBAR does the zoom in.
CTRL-ALT-SPACEBAR does the zoom out
H will flip the canvas horizontally, just the canvas.
CTRL-Z Undo
CTRL-Y Not undo
CTRL-F fill in selection
SHIFT additional selection
ALT delete selection
Click on the layer to select a thing.
In case clipping group doesn’t always help, preserve opacity helps you colour a certain thing.
The transform tool itself does a lot of things, but press CTRL while in select mod can free deform your selection without having to switch.
Aaaa your art is so good, if you don't mind me asking, how do you draw grass like that? Whenever I try it looks like a big blob ;-; thank you :D
thanks. i feel like i do it differently every time, but i made a little tutorial here that hopefully gives you a good idea of how it usually goes
hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey! i like how you draw hands, can you do a guide on how you do it???????
I looove drawing hands, but they're as fun to draw as they are difficult 👌👏
Usually when I draw, I don't go for perfect realism/anatomically correct, I mostly follow whatever makes the drawing look good, with exaggerated shapes, sharp angles, etc.
Drawing with references is the best advice I can give you!
When I struggle to draw hands I usually just look at my own hand and try to copy it (I have a small mirror next to my computer to make it easier), it works, but it's not always the best option. If you want to improve quickly, find some pictures and practice by drawing them!
A lot of websites have a built-in timer for studies, here is the one I used for this one for example:
So yeah, practice practice practice! The more you draw, the better you'll get!

its like having all the money you wanted ,but you dont know what to buy. Making this to look at when I get stuck with lame ideas. These are all suggestions from my followers:
Taking a break: No option for me but it surely can be good for other overworked peeps
Exploring new art forms: depending on your art style, surrealism would be something I’ve never tried before.
Shape game: Either sketching blindly and connecting the dots or sketching random shapes and fill them with faces or whatever comes to your mind.
Draw something you never drew before: …a good picture…
Draw a shark: How to draw a shark by Will Terrell
Read books: Let your mind to the picture first and then your hand.
Poses: Action poses - freestyle dancing - fight styles - (dancing people in general)- life drawing - online 3D model
Redoing Artwork: Either your old stuff or from your favorite artists, your way.
Reverse storyboarding: take your fav movie and sketch the the shots after every camera change.
Screencaps: study them, draw them, look at composition
Characters: Let your OC’s do extreme expressions, let them do things (driving,cleaning,running,etc)
Concepts: How people could look like on other planets. Look at Character Design
Planing an art project: A comic in my case, thinking about environments and characters etc.
Drawing upside down: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
Fanart: Illustrate your favorite book, series,Manga ,etc
Sideblog: Gathering all the references for all your needs
There is a 3D program where you can set everything.. i mean EVERYTHING on your character! And it’s free!

you can pick between realistic and anime style… But most important: you can ANIMATE THEM!
i actually really love drawing hands and only recently have I enjoyed it haha
