I know I am SUPER LATE but I learned a few weeks ago on how the RGB Slider works so, let me explain. The RGB Slider takes advantage of the Additive Color Model. The primary colors are Red, Green, and Blue. The thing is that they are the primary colors of light, not like the usual Red, Yellow and Blue that we're taught at school. When you add Red and Green equally, you get Yellow. When you add Green and Blue equally, you get Cyan. When you get Red and Blue equally, you get Magenta. If all three are mixed equally, you get White. Adding them in different amounts gives you a different color. It's fun to work with but I don't use it when I color. If you want to test this out, you can go to paint tool SAI by making three layers and separating them by Red, Green and Blue. To see the effect, the top two layers should be in Multiply Mode. I just realized (while writing this) that it helps you understand on what kind of color your pigment would be if shined upon a certain color of light. Meaning, it can help with your lighting if you use multiply. This is a mess and I only know this because of a presentation I had to make for my Science class, so research was needed. You can learn more online.
Whoever says art is easy hasn't tried their hand at sitting for hours straight while working on a painting on an art app you arent accustomed to. Also, thank you so much for this. I got Paint Tool Sai a few days ago and am still lost.
I think you can actually move multiple layers at once. There's that box below the 'eye' in the layer. You click that box for the inactive layer that you want to move along with the active layer. Then you can just drag and move the layers. (I'm sorry, I'm really bad at explaining)
Remy I’m pretty sure it works for any computer/laptop. As long as ya got a USB port then I’m pretty sure it will connect. There’s also an option to go Bluetooth
I got an intuos pro and it is used for older version of Windows but u can also use it for Mac. I have Windows 10 and it still works even if its used for Window 7.
I've been using SAI since 2013 and there's so much stuff in this video that I absolutely had no idea about, and I've been spending hours doing something that I could've saved so much more time on....... Thank you for this!!
I'm getting my first drawing soon and I wanted to learn the program so I could start drawing right away. THIS WAS AMAZING AND SO SO SO HELPFUL!! Thank you so much for making this!! Super legit and that thumbnail doesn't lie. Great, keep going!!
Just got SAI because I want to try working on a digital medium but I'm easily frustrated when it comes to learning the minutia of a new program. This helped me SO FRIGGIN MUCH. THANK YOU.
I say z like "zed" and I'm American and everyone gets mad at me and I spell shit with u's and say caramel the non American way and I'm called the "English spy" in my school like no I'm just doing what literally almost the entire world does except America
It's not "the entire world except america" it's a like 3 very specific countries out of 300+ that have a combined population comparable to that of America. It's like faking an accent or something, it's just really annoying and cringey to watch someone blatantly fake being part of a different culture, both to those in your own culture, and those in the culture your mimicking/mocking. It just annoys people when others intentionally misappropriate other cultures to make themselves seem less boring. I'd suggest against it.
Adding U makes no sense phonetically and is an archaic way of spelling words. Then there's center/centre where the ladder makes no sense. Center is how it's pronounced we don't say sen-tree.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm a costume design student in my last year of university and my school teaches nothing about digital art. I'm trying to make the switch right now because digital seem like a much better medium for me but I'm so bad with learning new things. I don't really like photoshop so I downloaded sai on a friend's recommendation, but off the bat it confused the hell out of me. This tutorial helped so much! Hopefully I start to catch on now that I know the basics ^-^
Oh yes please make that video about textures and additional stuff in SAI! Also I have a question: if I already purchased Sai 1, can I get sai 2 too or do I have to buy it seperatly?
This was SO helpful for me! I was unable to find a tutorial explaining how to use the various options available and assigning hot keys which immediately discouraged me from using the program. Now that I understand how to use the program better I can finally start using it for digital illustration. Thank you!
THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN USING THIS FOR FOUR YEARS AND IM MISSING OUT SOME FEATURES like the swatches area and clipping one :') you are a lifesaver and you explain things very clearly and effectively. I love you, thank u so muchhh
That seems like something more suited for Photoshop because of the selection tools it has. In SAI, you could lasso or magic wand around the person and then copy + paste them into the picture.
OMG THANK U SO MUCH JELARTS FOR THIS TUTORIAL! because I am getting a drawing tablet soon and u gave me the exact tutorial that I wanted! THANK YOUUUUU
Oh thank you for this tips! Arigatoo~ ("thank you" in Japanesse :D) By the way, I'm from Poland, not Japan ;) :D You have a new subscriber! (me of course XDD) Bye :)
I have both SAI and Krita. Krita has great things, but I really like the linework layer SAI has. Do you know of ways to imitate what linework layer does in Krita?
this was very helpfull. I'm used to photoshop so i was having a bit of a struggle with the way sai does things. this smoothed out the adjustment process significantly.
Now I remember why I was devastated when I got a mac for the first time and couldn't use Paint Tool Sai anymore because pen pressure didn't work back then. This is like a walk in the park compared to PS and the MILLIONS of options T_T on the bright side, it made me learn a lot
I have always loved art and have been amazed by it before and have wanted to pick up digital art for a while but have been kinda scared off because i don't like being bad at things but this helped a bunch, thanks a lot!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I’m a hardstuck Sai user myself and I have a XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro drawing tablet with screen . I learn a lot from your video .

Hope that helped! I learned about it only few months ago in science class.
I think the mask layer thing is to like if you want to outline the first one or like if you want to and something extra or if you roughly drew what you want then actually add the details.

"The blur tool blurs things"

That sentence is the best definition of the blur tool I have actually ever heard.

Me: ya it blurs things.
Lol!
wow

Whoever says art is easy is either bad at art, or forgot what it was like to learn the basics.
Difficulty is subjective imo
I think you can actually move multiple layers at once. There's that box below the 'eye' in the layer. You click that box for the inactive layer that you want to move along with the active layer. Then you can just drag and move the layers. (I'm sorry, I'm really bad at explaining)
Thank you! I completely forgot about the pin. I hope other people see this!
Yes I thought so too. Now is the active layer always the top layer? I’m sorry this is so confusing to me...🤔
"This one makes it go side to side"
My brain straight up thought of Revenge after that... SIDE TO SIDE, S-SIDE TO SIDE
by revenge did you mean "CREEPER, aw man," that revenge? also if it was same-
Thanks a lot! 2 years ago i drawed in paint tool sai, but i gave up. Now my motivation cane back but i forgot everything about it, this helped a lot
This video is amazing. I recently got a tablet and sai, and this video saved my life. I was getting frustrated until I saw this. Thank you!
WTF today i bought a intuos draw and BAM!! Beginner tutorial
Remy I’m pretty sure it works for any computer/laptop. As long as ya got a USB port then I’m pretty sure it will connect. There’s also an option to go Bluetooth
Me too... how do you like it?
I got an intuos pro and it is used for older version of Windows but u can also use it for Mac. I have Windows 10 and it still works even if its used for Window 7.
ManuelRemoQ same with u just got my intuos drawing tablet
I am thinking of buying it but im really scared i dont have the right computer for it. I know its a windows computer but i dont know wich one :/
*When you know how to use sai but thought you might as well watch the video but realized you already know everything*
Animal Gamer ikr.
Been using SAI for 2 years, know pretty much everything about it.
But it's still fun to watch those beginner tutorials :')
ha NOT ME
cant relate.
Hi!! Emm do you know how to pass a drawing from San to your phone?
I've been using SAI since 2013 and there's so much stuff in this video that I absolutely had no idea about, and I've been spending hours doing something that I could've saved so much more time on....... Thank you for this!!
"You can make art even with a mouse"
*haha mouse lines goes skrrr*
I've been doing lineart work mindlessly and that last part of your tips helps a lot, now I should be able to do lineart much more efficiently >.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I’m switching to Sai now. 😁
I'm getting my first drawing soon and I wanted to learn the program so I could start drawing right away. THIS WAS AMAZING AND SO SO SO HELPFUL!! Thank you so much for making this!! Super legit and that thumbnail doesn't lie. Great, keep going!!

I waited tutorial like this for a long time! Thanks!◕ ‿ ◕
+BO CHE You're welcome!
Considering I want to switch from Firealpaca to SAI this was a cute little guide thank you :D
I watched this when I was like 12 and I didn’t have a computer now that I have one and sai im binge watching all of jel’s video tutorials :>
This is the most helpful vids I've ever encountered , thanks !
This is amazing, but my only problem is that when I draw with my drawing tablet it doesn't work, but when I use my mouse it's perfectly fine.
Just got SAI because I want to try working on a digital medium but I'm easily frustrated when it comes to learning the minutia of a new program. This helped me SO FRIGGIN MUCH. THANK YOU.
You kind of threw every tip you had at me in one go... and that's absolutely what i needed lol, thank you so much !
you are pretty underrated... Thanks gor tutorial! (Idk the difference beetwen overrated and underrated i hope i used it the positive way :D)
overrated basically means that they are popular, underrated means the opposite
Vania Auliani thx m8
Overrated means they are really popular but they don't deserve to be, and underrated means that they deserve to be more popular but they aren't
@@cicizhu9892 I like this explanation better.
Fun fact: Most of these can work on firealpaca aswell
Delusia Or KIRTA, I've been using KRITA for past year and I love it.

I was so confused but I understand it a lot more now

I'm the exact opposite, I live in Canada and I say Z like "Zee" and people get mad... Pft

JelArts ok thank you, I read it on their website and I wasn't sure what they meant. Now I know!
JelArts also you're amazing, looking at your art and how you express yourself!
Could you make a tutorial on how to purchase it? It's so confusing but I want to support the program maker. :(
and remember use shift to draw a line

Thank you! I've just been goofing around with it so far, these tips seen like they'll save me a lot of time going forward. ♡
for anyone wondering, why is there thr rgb thing, they're the primary additive colors and the main colors humans can see, i think. every color we can see has at least one of the rgb, though usually they're mixed at different amount.
for example, my putting red and blue and full volume and green at least, you will get magenta. add green and blue, it becomes cyan, green and red is yellow.
Hope that helped! I learned about it only few months ago in science class.
I've been using Paint tool sai for who knows how long and I've learned some new things watching this video! Wonderful video! :D
So far, it has been very helpful. Already dropped my like.
Oh it was really hard to figure out things on my own. This video helped me a lot, thank you! Now i feel more confident while working with this program
this is the thanos gauntlet of sai tutorial videos

I found this video very helpful! Thanks so much and I cannot wait until they release the update for paint tool sai 2.
I used sai already for some month,but i found your video very helpful!! THANK YOU! ^^
I think the mask layer thing is to like if you want to outline the first one or like if you want to and something extra or if you roughly drew what you want then actually add the details.
You can also make straight lines on a regular layer by pressing shift
