apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist
it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile
here’s an example:
normal size
2x in paint
2x in waifu2x
so like, there’s that. go wild
sorry for any grammar mistakes
long time without a tutorial… I tried to explain my general process of working here, hope someone will find it useful :)

hi!! i actually just got sai and i was wondering if u had any tips for it?? thanks in advance!!
Shortcut buttons are your best friend. Rework your brushes to a certain keyboard button and remember them, it’s easier and faster than manually changing them.
CTRL-ALT changes your brushes sizes on the spot.
SPACEBAR is to move the canvas but not the drawing itself
CTRL moves the drawing
CTRL-SHIFT moves a layer drawing
ALT is the eyedropper tool if you don’t want to right click.
ALT-SPACEBAR turns the canvas
CTRL-SPACEBAR does the zoom in.
CTRL-ALT-SPACEBAR does the zoom out
H will flip the canvas horizontally, just the canvas.
CTRL-Z Undo
CTRL-Y Not undo
CTRL-F fill in selection
SHIFT additional selection
ALT delete selection
Click on the layer to select a thing.
In case clipping group doesn’t always help, preserve opacity helps you colour a certain thing.
The transform tool itself does a lot of things, but press CTRL while in select mod can free deform your selection without having to switch.
Tuesday Tips - Hair There’s no hard rules to draw hair (or anything for that matter), but the one thing that I try to keep in my mind is that there’s AIR in hair. I can draw it as a shape because there’s hundreds of thousands of them, but I’m also considering the space between them. For example, the volume of dry hair and wet hair will be dramatically different. Also, the way it behaves will differ greatly from person to person. I mostly think about the “weight” of the hair. Longer hair will means that the mass of hair will be heavier and react accordingly. *As always, leave a message if there’s a topic you would like to see covered. Norm
NSFW because there will probably be nude refs | this is a side blog to sort all of the art stuff I need | none of it is mine
