*edit*
lets clear it up: my message through this tutorial is NOT "dont use Photoshop" but rather "start with SAI because Photoshop is indeed a very complex program, not meant for most beginners".
I don't hate Photoshop, instead, I do recognize it's a very good program that can be used to complete SAI's functions OR be used for the whole process without any other software.
If you start by working with SAI, learning is much more easy and fluid, and after a year and half using it and completing with Photoshop, I guess SAI could disapear from the face of earth, I would intuitivelly know how to work the basics of a full drawing with Photoshop already.
It then becomes a choice to keep using SAI or not, and I chose to stay with SAI for now.
I'm offering the easiest and most functional choice i know for beginers, so they can work with all the functions the pros have without having to costumize a whole program they are not even familiar with.
Feel free to suggest any other program as well, if you know something that works as easy and effective as SAI.

I've always wondered if wire framing counts as tracing. Part of my practice is drawing a stick figure over the pose to get the exact pose right.

I think it can only be bought online outside japan, and it's about 40 euros :)

Thank you for the tutorial. I was one of those Traditional artists who thought "Digital art? No problem, I'll just go pick up photoshop and a Intuos 4 tablet and I'll be making masterpieces in no time flat. Afterall, with unlimited Undos how hard can it be?" Several days and several dissapointing drawings later, I was humbled and basically went back to pencil art. This has helped get me back into trying digital. This time starting at square one. :)

this is very good info thanks!!!


i totally agree with all the points on the "myths".
especially if one is using Corel Painter..... =.=
and since i dont have to worry about throwing away trees with computer art i can improve and practice as much, and as fast as i can. i just wish other ppl saw that

I totally agree with this tutorial! Finally someone has told that digital isn't very easy if you've never used it and has nothing in common with cheating *______* May I hug you? *hugs*
I've still been complained for the fact that I use a tablet to paint XD And I don't know if it happens to you too, but I'm quite pissed when someone at first says "ehi, I like your drawings" and then "wait, are they digital? Oh well, uhm, ok". <_______<"
