I highly recommend turning it off if you’re doing any sort of work with the binary pen/ pixel art. Theres another feature that you can turn on and off called “Anti-aliasing.” It essentially makes the selection “spread." The “Color diff.” bar lets you choose how strict it will be.īeing able to adjust how sensitive the detection is is really useful for when you just want to select one specific colored area or when you want to select all of the colored area. Using Color Difference, it selects things depending on what color they are. The first two are almost useless for me in most situations so I highly suggest switching it to Color Difference. It has 3 different detection modes Transparency(Strict), Transparency(Fuzzy), and Color Difference.

This is the magic wand tool, its your best friend for selecting things. Its very basic and is meant for people who are beginners or just aren’t familiar with the selection tools. i personally just mess around on the brushes and differs the dilution and blending and the persistence sometimes when i colour.So I decided to make a tutorial/guide thing on all the wonderful selection tools that are available to you in sai. MOST OF THE TIMES I TURN THE NORMAL TO MULTIPLY ^^^^^especially on the flat brush, and sometimes other brushes. some shadowy places like under the hair, the neck, usually use this when making the "final touch” BRUSH - AIR BRUSH: yeah, to some darker or lighter parts. sometimes i use this to colour over the “missing parts or something,Ĥ. BRUSH: WATERBRUSH - DUNNO: dunno… i think i use this brush sometimes to erase some unwanted lines instead of the eraser since it makes the erased parts a little bit “smoother”. YOU CAN FIND THE FLAT BRUSH + OTHER AWESOME BRUSHES HERE: ģ. so this is my mostly used brush when drawing. BRUSH: FLAT - COLOURING SHADING (AKA EVERYTHING): i use this on everything but lineart, like shading, and colouring. BUT IT’S ALSO GOOD TO USE THE PENCIL (normal setting) TO PAINT SO THAT YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE LINEART BETTER (like the karkat drawing there ^^^^ roughly sketched with tick pencil lines)Ģ. BRUSH : BRUSH - LINEART: i usually use this brush for sketching, and linearting. Most people have asked me what brush settings i use when drawing sooo, yeahġ.
