First, let's see how this organized SAI:
. Sai: The file extension that UPS will only be stored in that form layers and other info, if you keep png / jpg / etc only have the image. Zoom
angle, move the sticks the changes, and press the square at the end of each bar resets to the default zoom and angle.
Opacity: You can make one layer less intense, so to speak, and gradually becomes transparent as you drag the slider to the left. Layers and layers
: That's where you go to work.stilo.
Density: Make your brush transparent, very useful as we shall see.
Mode: I left it until the last of which requires more explanation. This is the mode of each layer, changes affect only the selected layer. Each layer mode changes the 'effect' that happens if you paint it.
Normal: the layer that is above is above the other without mixing the colors
Multiply, regardless of their position the layers mix their colors as transparent
Screen Luminosity: Things look bright. Work in different ways, experiment with them. Lumi is useful to put in your hair shine.
Overlay: Change the color of some things without making them shinyappropriate hand and with 100% opacity. Make a lot of zoom to be more precise is good in this part. Indeed, this is the most laborious of all the work, be patient.
Note that I changed the name of the layers, it helps to avoid mistakes, you just have to give you double click the layer and leaves the table to rename.
certainly do not have to color everything with the brush. Simply outline the area you want to tone and then fill with the bucket tool that is underlined. If the whole layer becomes a single color, undo the classic ctrl + z and have been looking for spaces where color escapes.
addition, note that the layer of clothing is less opacity. In factis black, but it's nice to get a little gray do not miss the line. When you finish coloring and return it to 100% will be black. You can change the opacity at any time.
will get something like this:
This is the part where I remind you to save often, because I just went and lost the light the progress that had uu image (file> save file as> choose format . sai. If you only give him store and was in the compu your image, you will overwrite the file in jpg / gif / pgn and lose your data layers)
Now, with the wand tool, go to a layer and choose what is in it giving it a click. I always start with the skin. When selectedlook like.
Now, he takes the pen tool and in the same layer (you can open another if it gives you great confidence) takes a darker color than the background and put the shadows. Remember to establish where it comes from light (in this case from the left) to see where the shadows are. You can work with confidence, as we have for the base you can not get out.
With the blur tool to medium opacity (can not remember which comes by default, experiment with this) softens the edges a bit strange left in the previous step.
Now fly to take a darker color than the last one you used and put the pen to 60% or so opacity. Click with careNo dark gray and then make black shadows and light with a lighter gray. (Example
The hair is the same, but once you have the light and shadows made, open a layer to 'Luminosity' y. .. Well, you go crazy, crazy and make a lot of blurred lines long (according to the light source!) the end is a nice sheen. Try to use your Lumi layer of different colors to the hair, you can get interesting results.
Here also added an overlay layer, just put some orange airbrush tool to make them look more intense some shadows.
eyes are complicated, to date I have a stable technique for
