Hi there!
Do you ever get tired of drawing every single little star in your amazing starry sky background? Well so do I! So here I am with a new brush setting for SAI (some SAI users may not have the custom content available here and I’m afraid I can’t remember where I found them all)
And here’s a tutorial on how to use it
Step 1: Fill in your background with a spacey colour, I personally prefer very very dark blue.
Step 2: Make a new layer, set it to luminosity and fill it with white, or whatever colour you want your stars to be
Step 3: Select your new brush and click the little square next to the main colour swatches to turn it into an eraser and start erasing the white layer. If you’ve done it correctly, your result should be similar to mine!
Thanks for listening!

Having troubles with facial angles in your drawing style?
Try a 3D sculpture of your art in your own style in a free program that is simple and very easy to use.
The program is called Sculptris and is a free off-shoot program from Zbrush, that program that you keep hearing about but either takes selling your kidneys or piracy to actually use.
If you download it and sculpt out a facial model, you can have references for your own work for all of time. No more endlessly searching Google for reference materials or twisting/rotating/flipping a drawing to see if there are flaws. And you can easily edit it to create more facial types. This way, you can make character references for any and every face and facial angle that you can think of.
The program offers mirroring right from the start, so your faces will be perfectly symmetrical. You can turn off the symmetry for things like scars or otherwise.
It takes a little time. For instance, I downloaded the program on Christmas and, in my spare time, this took a few days of getting familiar with the program (first day) and then sculpting for a few minutes each day, mostly due to my perfectionist nature. And this one isn’t even done. I still have to mold the mouth, ears, and other smaller aspects before I consider it done. However, I was so giddy over the possibilities that I wanted to share this with my fellow artists.
From now on, I have reference for a face in my own style and will be able to create things so much easier in the future. I hope that this helps you guys and that you have fun with it.

On the note of """"fandom colors"""", I just want all you artists to know that you don't have to come up with color designs out of your head in order for things to be valid. Referencing design, photos, etc for color pallets is an IMPORTANT part of character and graphic design. (Just like using references for poses!!!) I like to find photos of landscapes or flowers and mosaic blur them- then pick the colors I like out of those. Great way to make cohesive and we'll balanced pallets.
real and true!!!
Hey, hope you're having a great day!
Just wanted to say that I LOVE how you use colors in your work, it's just so pretty, sometimes vibrant, sometimes dark, the ones where you use one color but different shades and saturation are so beautiful!
Maybe you can give some advice how to improve in this area? Idk recommend some resources that helped you or exercises? Little tricks or your general thought process when coloring your art? Teach me sensei 🙏
Whenever you see a drawing with a color palette that you like try to analyse it. You can break it apart and see what colors were used and how they were used.
Hope this helps!
