How to Do Lineless Digital Art Paint Tool Sai

In this post I'll be showing you how to create the "lineless" wait often seen in art ! Specifically how I did it in my tododeku piece and my bakusquad piece !

The original way I learned how to draw lineless pieces was from a youtube tutorial, but the methods shown in that video didn't really piece of work for me...

So here's a dissimilar way I recollect is a chip easier.

...

...

Kickoff,

I often mention "the Lineless Look" and how to keep information technology.

This is specifically a tutorial for the clean Lineless Look, where the castor strokes are, well, clean. So when I say, "Lineless Await" this is what I mean.

I'd like to say that at that place is no right or incorrect way to practise anything.

I'm not an expert.

This is simply how I do it. ;)

Second,

permit's talk about cartoon programs.

Personally I use Paint Tool SAI

I sympathize that a lot of people on this amino utilise their phone and cartoon apps to create digital pieces. So you'll have to get creative in guild to apply these techniques to your drawing program, whether its on your phone / computer / tablet.

To be honest, these techniques aren't really that specific to pigment tool SAI then I'm sure you can practise this no matter what your drawing on!

Third,

This is a completely different style than cartoon art with outlines.

Because of that, there's a lot of unlike things to cover. I'll exist going into a lot of details. It might even experience like a agglomeration of tiny tutorials inside a behemothic tutorial.

This is to make sure you don't brand whatever mistakes I made and had to learn from.

Then bare with me.

I promise information technology's not as intimidating as it sounds !

Art takes fourth dimension and effort, but information technology's all driven by passion and determination !

And so don't quit at present !

...

Onto the tutorial !

Step One:

The Sketch.

~

sketch commonly !

don't even call back about how information technology's going to be lineless !

bonus example

here's the sketch I'll be working with for this tutorial:

~

Footstep Two:

Getting Layers Ready

~

make a layer underneath the sketch layer. This will be for building the cartoon.

Then, lower the opacity of the sketch layer to a pct you can comfortably build your drawing merely even so exist able to meet the sketch. Personally I identify it around 20%

Pace Three:

Picking Your Brush

~

THIS IS IMPORTANT.

EVEN TO Non SAI USERS

so do not skip this

the reasons I employ this brush can be helpful to know when picking what brush to use in your program :

- the castor doesn't blend -

this is important because we're going to be drawing over other colors that take already been put down. If they blend into each other and then it would ruin the Lineless Expect we're going for.

- the stroke can get really small or big

depending on how hard you lot printing -

this is important in my case considering I tin can create the edges with particular and color the object all with the same castor size. This saves a lot of time. Nevertheless this is only possible due to force per unit area sensitivity, which phones practise not take. This characteristic in a brush isn't necessary just it helps.

- the stroke doesn't fade -

what I mean by this is that no thing how light you press, the color is the aforementioned opacity. this is of import considering we're trying to keep the Lineless Wait, which ways all blocks of color demand to exist solid.

Pace Four:

Edifice Your Drawing

~

Stick with flat color.

Nosotros have to try and go along this as elementary every bit possible in order to keep our sanity and time.

I could become into an unabridged tutorial on how I choose colors and shade things merely that's for another fourth dimension.

since we don't accept lines to fill up in we need to think of coloring in a unlike way.

I say "building" because this is the mentality I think that's helpful in the process of your lineless drawing. Recall of each color equally a part, and you're putting all the pieces together.

here'due south the confront part

All the same, attempt not to make too many layers, especially if your drawing plan is known to crash. You'll have to utilize your better judgement to make up one's mind what parts stay on the same layer.

somewhen in your drawing, the aforementioned color is going to overlap with itself.

Hither's 1 of the times where information technology happened in mine :

when this happens we need to draw a line.

But a LInE?? in a LINelESs dRawiNg ??

yep.

Hither's some more examples of this:

I employ the "preserve opacity" and "clipping grouping" layer tools to depict these lines.

- preserve opacity -

lets say if yous draw a heart on a layer and and so click preserve opacity, you can still draw on the layer but simply where the heart yous drew is.

- clipping group -

it'south pretty much the same as preserve opacity BUT you can only draw where you lot drew on the layer underneath it.

here's a graphic I made:

However this isn't the only solution. Sometimes yous tin just shade the entire piece darker than it's overlapping color.

example:

If this is a little confusing and you still don't actually know how to approach coloring a lineless piece, you can see how I do it In Action in the bakusquad speedpaint:

Footstep Five:

Done Edifice

~

In one case you lot recall you're washed it should wait a little like this:

from here but flatten all your layers

apply shading

add a background

and your washed!

Again, this is just my fashion of doing it !

I encourage y'all to experiment and play effectually with it !!

~

...

...

finally done.

you might be thinking, "gee golly Jay ! that'southward a huge tutorial just for the MHA amino ! if I had to guess you spent approximately xi hours putting it together !"

to that I'd say, "You lot're scaring me. How did you lot know that."

I knew this was gonna take some effort and time to put together.

I only didn't know I'd go into this much detail and spend this much fourth dimension on this post.

Don't get me wrong, I loved putting this tutorial together. Formatting text for me is fun. Reminds me of taking notes in history classes. I love typing things up and bolding and underlining and organizing text. Perchance yous can tell that when giving this entire post an overview.

Point is, this took a lot of fourth dimension, so I'thou going to plow this entire tutorial into a YouTube video considering I want it to help more people than but the ones involved in this amino.

Edit: oml thank u for the feature. It feels very validating to say the to the lowest degree.

And that's all !

If yous make any art using this tutorial Please Delight Please show information technology to me and link information technology in the comments, or tag me !!! I wanna encounter it so bad.
