Just got the trial and hoping to purchase it in full because I love the line stabilizing so far it's great for me, the epitome of shaky hands.
I know a bunch of you out there probably use it and have a lot more experience than me with my dabbling, so any tips?
I'm especially curious to how to best use the selection tools; people make them seem like a great tool but I can't figure out how to custom fill things so they're just being more trouble than it's worth rn.
and also how should I adjust my canvas settings so that it's not so horribly pixel-ly?

did a thing haha. ~45 mins learned some new things still horribly inefficient tho rip. But I did learn more about selection options, which is always great, and I got to try the famous multiply layer shading which is as good as I imagined it would be //hugs this program is soooo nice I love the pen sensitivity options and the stabilizers are still the best thing ever. ![](http://imgur.com/mb1Qm1n.png)

As you get more experienced, you'll realize that 45 minutes is NOT a long time for a piece ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/6575102/images/iVhKxJ4UsBP0VgImbuAI.gif) Add in a background or multiple characters and you're looking at a good 5 hours of work to make it look nice Haven't used Sai in a while, so I can't really go in-depth here. Generally, you should be working on a big canvas and downscaling the picture for posting. Also, do some research on how you can use layer modes since they're really useful for touching up your work (Overlay layers are really good for adjusting colours when you're done, for example.) Sai has a pretty good brush engine, so make sure you play with that
