FEATURES

I would like to take this opportunity to feature and promote a few tutorials that I've found and considered to date for Paint Tool SAI users around deviantART community! ^^
Take a look at a few of the incredible submissions below, I hope you find them handy, inspirational and beneficial for your art creation:

SAI TOOL PRESETS
If your Easy Paint Tool Sai DOESNT have tools (or if you messed them up and cant get them back to normal)

1) Right click on a blank tool square

It will then come up with a list of options.
Choose the tool you wish to make. Heres my order:

To make basic pen set the little slide bars too -
Normal/Multiply- Normal
Edge shape - Last selection (Square)
Size - Any
Min size - 0%

Texture - None (A drop down box)
Layer - None (Another drop down box with canvas paper etc in it)

Tick advanced

Pres
Default Brushes Paint Tool Sai

I couldn't find these any where so I figured I'd just down load a new copy of Sai and write down the configurations.

Paint Tool Sai has some great features but it is  missing a few things, like a tool reset button.

But fortunately now we'll all know what the settings are and can manually reset them :
