In any case, I’ve also taken the liberty of zipping all of my blotmap, brushtex, elemap, and papertex folders and hosting the file on my site just in case whatever borked version of SAI people are encountering are missing all this basic stuff. Since making this post 500 years ago, I’ve gotten periodic questions about the Flat Bristle brush setting that is default on my version of SAI, but sometimes absent in others.Īfter much ado, I’ve rummaged around in my program folders and found an image in SAI’s elemap folder called Flat Bristle.bmp that you should be able to just grab and use! I edited this link into my original post as well, but it’s gotten so many reblogs I don’t know how helpful that will end up being… You can also use a tinted overlay to adjust the overall palette and bring a little more color unity to an otherwise disparate piece! Just be aware that too much texture can hurt the readability of the work beneath it, so I’d err on the side of subtlety. Something more subtle? Lower the contrast or reduce the layer opacity. Want a more prominent texture? Up the contrast. Just paste the texture into its own layer above everything you want it to apply to, and change the layer mode to Overlay. Using overlays in SAI is just as easy as using them in Photoshop. You’re all welcome to use it, no permission required! To further stave off the artificially smooth look of digital painting, I almost always overlay some sort of paper texture, and it’s almost always this one, which I scanned and edited myself. Good for clouds and fog, as the name suggests, or just less boring gradient fills. It’s just GREAT.īest used for smooth blending, washes, gradients, and smoky atmospheric effects.īasically a grittier version of the watercolor tool, because too much smoothness weird me out. I use it for everything from rough washes to more refined shaping and polish. I don’t use any textures with it because I think the shape of the brush provides enough of that by itself. I like to use the canvas texture on this brush to help break up the unnatural smoothness that usually accompanies digital brushes, but it works just fine without.Ī brush tool set to flat bristle ( try saving this bitmap file to your elemap folder if your version of SAI doesn’t have it) is by far my favorite to paint with. It’s heavier than my usual workhorse brush, for faster color application and rough blending, but not as heavy as the pencil tool, which has no blending at all. The plain ol’ brush tool acts as sort of an in-between for me in terms of brush flow. I find the line quality to be much more crisp than Photoshop, and you can manually adjust in-program stabilization to help smooth out hand wobbles. Mostly made this because I’m lazy and I didn’t want to have to keep turning my textures off/opacity up when I wanted to ink something (even though I don’t do it very often), or lay down flat colors.

Lower opacities give it the feel of different pencil hardnesses, while full opacity makes it more like a palette knife, laying down hard-edged, heavy color for detail work or eventual blending with other brushes.
I use the pencil tool with SAI’s native paper texture both for sketching and for applying opaque color with no blending. Clip studio paint brushes for photoshop.I’ve been getting a lot of asks lately about the brushes and textures I use in my work, so here’s a BIG FAT REFERENCE POST for those of you who were curious! Bear in mind that I’m really lazy and don’t know what half the settings do, so don’t be afraid to experiment to figure out what works best for you :>
