Egoistic Boy - Part 1 : Step by step sketch tutorial in Paint Tool SAI (Mouse user) - Hello guys, this time i will share to you about my little work with SAI. Paint tool SAI or better known as SAI is a program developed in japan. As we know Japan is the large source of artist, we talk about japan we think about manga, anime and some moe-moe games.

Paint tool SAI made in japan for a digital drawing application, with some advantage and disadvantage. I will share this one next post.

In this section i will share about mw little work with SAI. I dont have enough proud about this art because i had just been started to learn since 2016, i have too many mess. But i hope this tutorial will help you much.

First at all you shoul have Paint tool SAI inatalled in your PC. And then just open it, next start to create a new file. If you do not have you can download from here.

Basic new file. Go to file - new in the menu bar to create a new canvas.

I use a custom canvas size with 3000 x 3000 px and 300 dpi resolution. I am just enjoying with this resolution, you can decide your own to work. But 300 resolution is better for all design works.

After creating new file you will have a look with blank white paper.

Now focus on the left section, you will see some of icon. That icons are your drawing tools with different function. In this tutorial we need pen tool to draw the scetch. Other tools function will posted soon.

Look at picture below, I use pen tool with 5 px size. You can set your own pen tool size by dragging bar to right or select from the dot icon at bottom.

And then.. Lets try to draw something on the canvas, with pen tool you will get a strong line base on your density of course.

From my experience in using some mouses, mouse with higher sensitivity easier to use and get better sketch quality. I use 2400 dpi mouse and it great enough I think.

Try to make some creepy sketch first, or some people draw the skeleton first. It will be hard for first time. And then i made this zombie haha.

I used a gray color for this sketch. Just a first raw image from our mind, with more sketch's line should be better.

Now try to make a better sketch. First we should create a new painting layer. Click on icon in the picture.

With this new layer, you can draw more sketch for the second time. It will be easier because we just following our old lines.

For a better view we can set old layer to inactive. Just press on the eye icon and the eye will be hidden with your old sketch

And finally we are done with the sketch. For information, this sketch just a hard sketch or raw sketch. Dont too focused on this, sketch in mouse user just for helper in next step.

Some people hate to sketch using mouse, they make their sketch on the paper then scan and trace it. Just do at your own.
