Also you’ll learn more about all its panels and tools, how to modify tools to suit your needs, and some tricks. This tutorial is a basic guide which will be useful both for beginners and for people who want to learn more about the potential of Paint Tool SAI. I believe it’s good for making wavey patterns and such, but I don’t know beyond that, Anything that Acrylic painting is good for, I’d assume this brush is good for as well (though…I guess Acrylic painting is good for anything? I don’t know, I didn’t really do much Acrylic painting, and from what I remember, most traditional mediums don’t really mix well with each other).Paint Tool SAI is a lightweight, Japanese digital painting program which is very popular among artists due to its simplicity and vast range of tools. This brush is very interesting, though, I honestly haven’t used it much. If you use a mouse with this brush, the strokes are again maxed out to the brush size, and you can’t really see the texture when using a mouse. The Opacity and Pigment don’t really take an effect with pressure sensitivity, however, the size of each individual stroke within’ the brush reticule is effected by pressure sensitivity, making them larger with more pressure, and smaller with less pressure. Anyway, The strokes themselves can be a bit wavey as you brush. When you brush with this…brush, within’ the brush reticule, you’ll get various strokes, which is part of the point of this brush, and is one of the reasons for why I like SAI as much as I do. Now, strokes with this brush act different then strokes with the other brushes. So…yeah, this is the Acrylic Brush…quite a bit to be said here…WELL, first off each individual stroke with this brush has a texture, which is a bit of a wavey like pattern with the part of the stroke that has the most pigment forming the shape of waves, and being surrounded by anti-aliasing, except when the part of the stroke with the most pigment reaches an end of a stroke, then the anti-aliasing is only on one side, though, this doesn’t seem to give things a horrible look, which is a good thing. Well, in lieu of talking about it, and like I’ve done before…here’s an example of the Acrylic brush being used: So moving on, this tool is the Acrylic brush. With that said…I think I’ll throw in a brush that I do have something to talk about, It may have to do with the colour, opacity, and pigment you get from the brush, if you manage to get some ACTUAL colour out of the damn things. Now…I honestly cannot see a difference between this tool and the Water 9 tool, I’m sure there is, but I just can’t seem to find it. It is very similar to Water 9, and thus Water, but anyway.Īlright, so the Water 10 tool…since there’s not really much to say about this tool, here’s an example of it at work:

Soyeah…Water 10…more repeating tools, I guess.
