I like to use it to color skin and beard. Now that youve added it, select Sai in the Applications menu at the top of the window. Click on the 'Browse' button and find your Sais exe. It uses textures to design brushes along with other settings that you can customize on. You will get a new window named 'Add Application for Custom Settings'. This is a brush I use when I want the drawing to have a traditional watercolor feeling but it doesn’t quite ends up looking like traditional watercolor. The brush tool in SAI works a little differently than Photoshop or Krita. Uses “Watercolor” preset.Ĭreates a dirty texture. I increase the Blending, Dilution and Persistence when using as blend tool. Simple brush I use it for soft shading and blend tool. I vary the Blending, Dilution and Persistence settings a lot when using it for scenery painting. I use it a lot for flat colors, lineart, cel shading and traditional-like painting. Useful for sketches and “sketchy” lineart. This is more for my personal backup than to “share” them but feel free to try them if you want to! The handwritting on each image was made with the brush in question.

As an extra, I've included a set of "Airbrush Pencils" which are my favorite brushes in SAI.I’m not sure how useful this might be, but I decided to upload my brushes settings for PaintTool SAI 2. (*) Update if you're having issues with the start-sai.exe, download this pack and extract it into your main SAI directory (where the SAI program is), the brushes should show up automatically next time you run SAI), they may overwrite your brush list but I've put them at the bottom so unless you have any brushes there, it shouldn't be any problem.

I recommend using these brushes on A4 page size at 150 DPI and with stroke stabilizer at level 3 but use whatever you feel comfortable with.įeel free to adjust the pressure to your taste, some press harder than others so you may have to adjust.Ĭhange the Simple Circle to Flat and now you have a square tip shading pencil. Create a new "Brush" and manually adjust the settings like you see here, you could also use the Marker, Watercolor, Airbrush. Run start-sai.exe to install the textures. Extract the RAR into your Paint Tool SAI folder (install 7zip if you don't have winRAR). Here are a couple of pencil brushes that I made for Paint Tool SAI in order to mimic graphite pencil, to install them follow these instructions*:
