… now obviously, if you try to select the outside of the circle… (calling that a circle is an insult to circles) This will fill that selection and then deselect your selection.Ĭool, right? Now you have this… lumpy circle. (You suddenly realize why cactus needed the circle tutorial) They work in perfect tandem, and I’ll show you why. To call the Magic Wand and Select Pen a couple would be underplaying their devotion to each other. We could either raise our transparency difference of the Magic Wand or… we could try out another tool that is Cactus’ best friend. We have some stubborn bits that won’t select. Grab your magic wand (remember, this is your new best friend)… and hop over to your lineart layer! Let’s get to work! For tutorial’s sake, lets make a new layer, above this blue one. Lemme change our pup to the right color now, and… Now watch what happens when you try to draw on this layer… Say goodbye to that lovely yellow color selection, huh? This simply will not do.

Here’s what happens when you draw on your layerĪnarchy! Chaos! And if you hit CONTROL F (your wide fill) This is also known as Locking your Layer. But for now we’re gonna talk to your lord and savior… Preserve Opacity. Today we’ll be talking about Preserve Opacity and Clipping group. OR… You can head to your layer properties… oveerrrrr

You’re saying “Lycanroc is currently yellow and I’m 20% sure that is incorrect.” And you’d be right.īut oh no! I made you deselect! So you can CONTROL F without filling the whole layer!!! Now… you could just do the previous steps… which is tried and true. GOOD! You’re getting the idea! Look at that fill. Now remember to hit CONTROL D to deselect all that stuff. You could use the bucket but we’re PROS MY FRIEND Make sure this layer is under the lineart… Nice! Now we’re cooking!! Now make a new layer. This button here! Which does the same thing.

Now, remember how to Invert a Selection? Head to Selection up on the banner (between Layer and Filter, remember) and select it. I also have to color this don’t I… Here’s what I do. I have this lineart, but it’s boring in all black. HOW TO LOCK YOUR LAYERS AND WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO LOCK THEM If the circle is too thick you can head back to your magic wand…. This INVERTS your selection! Let me tell you, with this little skill you can do a lot of stuff that I’d be happy to outline (most being lazy with coloring).Īnd you have a perfect circle! USE THIS IN SKETCHING! I recently realized that a perfect circle in sketching is amazing…. This will expand your selection by one (1) pixel. Hop up to Selection (that’s up there on the banner toolbar between Layer and Filter)Īnd select Increment. Select your magic wand (my best friend tool) and select the outside of the circle: Using your mouse or track pad, click in place a few times so that it gives you one single solid circle without line pressure Using any pen, but you can also use the lineart pen tool I just gave you, increase the pen size to like… 250 px. I used to use this for lineart but it’s a little too soft for that and doesn’t handle transparency well Always at 4.0 size, as my canvas is always at LEAST 900 pixels in either direction- and usually more than that.Ī soft, fluid tool that I’ve been using forever. Unforgiving with selects/gaps but overall gives a nice clean look. This brush here is my main lineart brush- it’s sharp and solid which I really like. Looked nice with multiply but was horrible to color in, even with Sai’s amazing select. Before I was using an oil/water brush, which had soft lines. I’m constantly changing how I do lineart. Sure!! Despite Sai being a simple program at first, it has a lot of tricks to it! I learn something new about it all the time!
