Description

IT SAYS IN THE DESCRIPTION HOW TO MAKE THEM, YOU DONT DOWNLOAD THEM
Newer versions of SAI don't have some brush settings but you can download them here: comments.deviantart.com/1/4307…

FAQ:
- you need a TABLET for these to work as you need pen pressure which a mouse does not have
- if these aren't working, it is most likely a problem with your SAI
- I don't know how to fix issues with brush settings not saving sorry!


Thought I'd share some of my brushes since a couple of people have asked <3

These are my favourites/the ones I use most C:

1. Painting Brush: The Brush I use for most of my painting. It blends really nicely but you have to merge all your layers. It's nice and smooth and especially good for grass, fur, and small details.

2. Marker Tool: I mostly use the Marker tool for sketching, because it's soft and subtle and lines just turn out so much nicer <3 Also good for bushes or leaves. ( fav.me/d6v9lg6 as shown here) Picture above is a really bad example of what it is capable of, sorry ahaha :L

3. Pencil Tool: Basically the same as the pen tool you automatically get in SAI, but with slightly changed settings for sharp, crisp and smooth lines C: I always use this one for lineart.

4. Marker Tool #2: Completely different to marker tool one. I use this one to lay down my colours while painting and not much else. It blends ok. Reason I like it though because its really good to lay down the colours you're going to use, as it's slightly see through, without making it look messy.

5. Acrylic Tool: I really need to rename my tools pff. Basically the same as the previous tool but with much better blending.

6. Fur Tool: Although I've never actually found a use for this tool (sigh) it'd be really good for fur and I love the way it looks //v\ just haven't found a use for it yet.

7. Water Tool: Ahaha wow I use this tool way too much. I use it for getting my shading to look softer at some parts, I use it for blurring, blending, lighting, adding effects ect. ect. Its one of the tools that comes with Paint Tool SAI when you first get it but I think the settings are changed a bit.

How to make new brushes in SAI

Most of you probably already know how to make yourself brushes in SAI, but here it is just in case. Right click one of the light grey, empty boxes underneath your tools, and select a tool base. (for example pen, brush, marker, acrylic, eraser) This will be the starting point of your brush. then just edit the settings, and give it a name C:

Feel free to make/use these C:

So I noticed that where everyone has "pen" as the first brush, mine is "pencil". When I try to create a new brush, I don't have the "pen" option, but I have a "pencil" instead. Is there a chance I have a different version or something? Everything else seems to be the same. 

I'm guessing the tool is the same and it's just named differently somehow, but I don't want to go and make all these brushes and have them turn out weird because I was wrong x.x

I'm unsure what you mean, but the description says how to make new brushes and where to download the extra settings not available by default in newer versions of SAI!

Hey there!
I absolutely love these and added them all haha. I am a bit confused though, for the (simple circle) options, I don't have Stringy_M or Middle_Flat? I'm just curious on how you got those options in Sai? :v

HEY YOU GUYS. AGAIN I CANNOT HELP YOU WITH SAI. I CANNOT HELP YOU WITH SAI AT ALL.
I just wanted to post up my links so ya'll can have the program but i am not tech support. Please stop asking me for help on your sai malfunctioning. This is a pirated program - its gonna have issues and even I dunno how to fix em. This has no viruses as far as im concerned. 
UPDATE #3 | 12/23/16 : To those who don't want floating panels / tool boxes in their Sai for 'VileBile's Custom Sai 2" - Here is a tutorial on how to reverse it or actually enable it for those who want it in their OWN sai 
Floating panels in Sai settings

scramitsethan In reply to swooshDusk [2018-07-20 18:38:10 +0000 UTC]

actually i found it in paint tool sai 2. you have to pick the brush shape Fine Flat then you can click the red arrow next to it and where it says auto change it to pen direction.
