![]() The pressure sensitivity translation to the various tools was also spot on. SAI has extremely good support for tablets (especially Wacom ones) and usage of the stabilizer is key to making smooth, clean and curvy lines with your tablet pen. I did have quite a bit of experience with pencil and paper before getting into vector art about a year ago, so getting down a very rough sketch on a piece paper took little more than half an hour to do, which I promptly took a photo of (you don't really need the quality of a scan for reference) and imported into SAI.- Turn that stabilizer on!!!One of the features that has impressed me the most in SAI is the pen stabilizer. The fact that I did not have the freedom to go back and delete or edit lines after drawing them meant that I needed to have something to refer very closely to in order to get clean lines. For this picture it took me a good entire day plus a couple of hours to add the finishing touches.- You definitely need to do a sketch first before importing it into SAI and drawing over it.I've drawn enough ponies in vector to be able to freehand most of the time in Illustrator, but I found it close to impossible to do this in SAI. It's way more difficult to draw in raster as compared to vector.If I'm drawing vector, for simple OCs with no background and a pose from a reference picture taken from the show, I usually take about an hour or two to draw the lineart and and then another hour or two to ink in the fills. (Not to say that Ps is a bad tool for drawing, the learning curve is just much higher)First thoughts:(Okay I'll put this in a spoiler cuz I've begun my essay mode ). I've heard a lot of good things about Paint Tool SAI so naturally I went for that first, add to the fact that from playing around with it a couple of times I found it to be much more 'drawing-oriented' than Photoshop. As some might know, I'm primarily a vector artist and do my stuff in Illustrator, but I've expressed my interest in learning how to draw in raster on more than one occasion. ![]()
