Hello. For this class, we'll learn how to operate the program

and how to use tools.

The SAI tool will be mostly used for this class

But this course doesn't require any particular functionality for only from the SAI tool

so you won't have any trouble following the classes

even if you use other drawing programs.

If it is the function from the SAI tool probably other programs will have that functionality too

so you just need to know how to use it beforehand.

SAI tool is a very simple tool that has very minimal functionality.

I use the SAI tool because I don't need a lot of functionality when I draw,

and I like the feel of the brush that's only expressed on the SAI tool.

You can download the SAI tool through the link in the class note.

Before you purchase it, you can try the 1-month trial version

so I'd recommend that you try that first while taking to the class.

You can purchase an official license for about 50,000 Korean won worth

by the credit card that can be paid overseas

or Payoal

Most of the other drawing tools have trial versions too

Use various tools and settle into

the tools that suit you.

We're going to start with some basic manipulation

How to use SAI tool that I'm going to explain is about

some really basic functionality and tools.

You don't have to remember how to use it all at once,

but you can slowly get used to it as you go through the class.

First of all, you can click File New at the top and you can create a new canvas.

For the canvas size, please get into the habit of making it as big as possible

It's not a problem to make the big drawing smaller,

but to make it bigger, the drawing will be damaged.

I'm specifying a minimum of 1,000 pixels and a maximum of 4,000 pixels.

Even if the size of the canvas is too big,

it may stutter according to the specifications of the device you're using.

If you create a new canvas, it's also important to save it in a proper way.

You can save it

by clicking save or save as.

It would be so sad if your drawing that you worked so hard

on for such a long time is gone in an instant.

Get used to pressing save shortcut control + s

and save the project habitually while drawing

Save file type supporting from the SAI tool are

sai type which is only for the SAI tool

PSD type which can be linked with Photoshop

normal image file type PNG and jpg

You won't be using the rest of these formats very often.

When you post your art on social media

or on the web, you can usually save it as a png and jpg.

If you save them as a png and a jpg, layer setup will be removed,

and it's saved in a flat drawing,

so if you're not finished, save them in sai or psd, and leave those layers.

Now, you let's move on to the menu bar

Through the navigation system,

we can view the canvas small or big

You can also rotate the canvas however you want.

When you press the square button on the side, it turns back to normal.

Next, I'll tell you about the layers.

Think of them as transparent paper.

Click on this paper icon and create a new layer.

When you draw on different layers, they separate.

You can specify the opacity of the layer and set the opacity.

You can also specify the blend mode of the layer and change it to a different layer with different properties.

There are so many different blend mode

that you can use when you're drawing, and I'll explain some of the useful modes.

Usually, in the normal mode, the images stack up one by one.

And the Multiply mode,

it looks like the colors of the layers on top are thickly overlapped.

And then, I'm going to tell you about the overlay

On a new layer, I'm going to color it purple,

and I'm going to change the settings to overlay,

then the color has been changed all the way down to purple.

If you use the Overlay Layer,

it's useful when you want to tie colors together as one tone.

Experiment on the rest of the layers

and apply it when you draw,

so that you can draw more richly.

Also,

tap the folder-shaped icon and add a layer group.

When you select Group, create a new layer

or drag the layer and put it inside the group, it will be grouped together.

The more layers there are,

the harder it will be to distinguish them, so group them and align them up.

Next, I'll talk about Clipping Mask.

First, draw on one layer,

then create a new layer on top of that layer.

Click on the Cliping Group

and you'll see that it's marked in red.

This Clipping layer will become the layer below that layer,

so only the area that has been drawn already on that layer can be colored.

This will be used often when you color,

so keep it in mind.

Now, let's move to the right.

By moving the color palette, you can choose the colors.

This might only be available on the Saitul,

but if you press this icon, you will see white empty space

I call it Notepad.

Once you choose the colors you want to use in the future,

you can use Spoidtools to choose the colors you want to use

even if you turn off the layers.

If there's anything else you want to jot down,

you can write it down here.

Let's go further down.

Using this dotted triangle-shaped selection tool,

select the area you want to draw.

And I can hit transform to make whatever I want.

Be careful because if you overdo it, the pixels can be broken.

With the lasso tool,

you can choose any area you want.

And if you have multiple colors on top of one layer,

you can only select one color by using the magic wand tool.

Now, let's talk about the brush that's most important when drawing.

The pencil is the most basic brush from the SAI tool.

By choosing this side,

you can adjust the width of the brush's outline.

It spreads out more and more to make it look smoother.

You can also specify the size of the brush.

I usually use keyboard shortcuts to make it bigger and smaller.

I can also set the pen pressure here.

As the min size smaller, the brush edge gets sharper

and the min size bigger, the brush edge gets blunter.

You can adjust the brush density with density.

As the lower density, it would be more transparent

and it would be richer as the higher density

And you can also designate a texture on a brush to make it look rough.

So if I pick Spread, it looks like this.

We can also specify how hard we want the texture to be.

Please experiment with the other textures.

When you set that paper, you can also make it look

like you're drawing on a rough piece of paper.

I can give it

a little bit more detail through the advanced settings.

When dens and size are both off,

the tablet pen pressure doesn't work.

If I select Dens,

you'll see that the less force at the end is softening.

If I just select Size,

the thickness of the line changes with the strength of my hands.

If I select Dens and Size both,

as the tip becomes softer, the thickness can be adjusted too

I'll tell you more about my brush settings

and the examples of diverse feelings from different brushes

when we do the line drawing in detail.

The brushes that you usually use can be saved

clicking the right side of the mouse and duplicate

That's how you save brushes.

Next is the eraser.

Just like the brush,

you can also add different options to the eraser.

If you think of an eraser as a tool

that can make the drawing transparent

rather than just erasing the wrong parts, it will be more efficient.

Next is the convenient paint can be useful when coloring the entire area.

Paint is working with recognizing the color differences

If the color difference number is small, the difference in color is more sensitive

so even if the color is a little different, it's recognized as a different area.

If you adjust the number bigger, it will be completely covered up.

Same thing. When the color difference is low,

Likewise, if the color difference is low, it recognizes similar colors differently

but even if the number is a little bigger

it recognizes them comprehensively and covers all similar colors.

So if I have a yellow circle on Layer 1

and I have an orange circle on Layer

if you use the working layer in the paint tool while selecting it,

you will only react to layer 2 you are working on.

No matter how high the color difference is high,

it only responds to the orange circle.

Select the All image

and it perceives all the layers and fills them.

I explained the shortcut.

You can memorize and use the keyboard shortcuts

from the beginning of the program,

but if you adjust them according to your hand, you'll save a lot of time.

If you click the right mouse

on the often-used tool

and select the options, you can select the shortcut key to designate a shortcut key.

In another way,

you can find the Keyboard Shortcuts.

In my case, Z is undo

A is redo,

ofen-used brushes are S and V

Eraser is C,

so I can click on the favorite shortcuts with one hand.

If you designate it so that you can press it with one hand

your hand's fatigue will be much reduced

and you can reduce working time.

If you use an iPad or a Galaxy tab that doesn't have shortcuts,

memorize the location of the tools

you use often and place them in a place where you can choose.

So we looked at the tools that we're going to use often in the class.

If you're confused by too many functions at once,

remember these three first.

Always remember to save from time to time

use the grouping function to align the layers

remember the shortcuts you often use.

As for the rest of the tools and features,

let's take our time as we progress through the class.

If you have time,

try out some of the features we haven't discussed.

Find useful features.

Next time, before we start drawing,

we're going to learn about our tastes.

See you next time.
