It really does create a level of special depth you can't get from multi layered painting, mashing all those colours together and blending them is as satisfying as getting your hands stuck in paint :D
i dont want to nitpick, but vriska's wing patterns are like her eyes. but other than that, it's beautiful. so so so so beautiful!! i just want to hug you
Painting on one layer isn't so scary - try using the brush with colour as your eraser, think of it like that instead and it makes the approach much nicer. Think of the process methodically but remember to just lay down lots of colour and have a ton of fun at the same time! Now I do it all the time and I find it harder to seperate layers!
I honestly think one layer is easier then managing multiple, especially when the background/environment is really simple. There's no transparency issues, hidden errors, etc. If you wanna move something around you just crop it over and paint the gaps. Faster too.
Tip for 1 Layer painting: -Brush Tool -Water Tool -Blur Tool (optional) -Pen Tool (for bold lines and or areas) -Airbrush Took (for soft shading) IMO, water tool is easier for me than the brush tool.
@ImTheTerrible1 i think youtube took it off or something. this place has been getting more strict about the copyright crap. i'm not gonna be surprised if i end up getting banned anytime soon
this is beautiful but let me ask what are your pen settings cuz i'm new to sai so i only know how to do line art and not much coloring cuz things blend or i cant find the right colors...any tips or brush setting tips you can give :3
could you tell me the brush settings you used to color this? If you could i would be very thankfull ( i understand if you dont want to tell all kinds of random people what your cutom brushes are, ore if you dont have time to reply, but if you do think you very much
@ru3na To avoid copyrights, don't put a disclaimer. Apparently the youtube people searches videos by if they have disclaimers and such. haha. Its weird. ;-;
gorgeous art i love how it seems like ink but it's weird, i think u've got much more tools in ur sai version than in mine ;_: (i only got 2~3 lines of tools in the toolbox but ur toolbox is full)
Have you ever tried to draw on one layer, no, didn't think so. It's extremely difficult to draw on one layer in SAI, why, cause all of your lines get covered up and you don't know where to color, okay.
First thing: Don't answer your own question. I /have/ tried to draw on one layer. I do it all the time. It's called MS paint. And every art program on my tablet Another: I'm not saying it's not hard. I'm saying that the whole comments section is raving about how only one layer is used. That comment was supposed to be a joke, too. Try to comprehend what I actually said next time. Also, if you're going to reply to me, try to fix up your grammar. ^u^ I will now proceed to facepalm at your comment.
Except I didn't mean it as Gamzee because homestuck-ing everything is kind of obnoxious . Just pretty thrilled to see lovely fanart from a lovely artist n.n

+Little Miss Birdy same
+Little Miss Birdy RIGHT
+Little Miss Birdy Woah I hadnt even noticed
but yeah i would never color on one layer
Yeah, but it's really fun!

Vampire, devil and fairy in one. Awesome!
Because of this video I am really into Parov Stelar. I love his music.
I honestly think one layer is easier then managing multiple, especially when the background/environment is really simple. There's no transparency issues, hidden errors, etc. If you wanna move something around you just crop it over and paint the gaps. Faster too.
woman, you are very amazing. I love this drawing.
Proud to be a Scorpio :) and what fantasic art! All in one layer too
oh my god how did you do this on _one layer_ holy shit
Dont try unless you have a lot of confidence in your coloring skill
i wont be doing this for like...... the nest 3 years then

-Brush Tool
-Water Tool
-Blur Tool (optional)
-Pen Tool (for bold lines and or areas)
-Airbrush Took (for soft shading)
IMO, water tool is easier for me than the brush tool.
+Amy Lionheart same, watercolor blends easier than brush tool.
It amazes me how you can do all of that in just one layer! Bluh bluh gr8t job! or something like that :D
one layer. ONE LAYER.
*desk-flip*
This is too awesome. xD
Oh Gee. *0* this done all on one layer only?! -worship-
GIVE ME YOUR TALENT.
ALL OF IT.
RIGHT NOW.
dang lol i wish i can colour that fast and still maintain that look! very awesome indeed xD
THIS SONG IS MY FAVORITE I CLICKED ON THE VIDEO AND WAS V HAPPY THANK U
Although digitally drawing on one layer is hard as hell....don't all traditional artists do it too? xD
aaahh!!! I'm so happy I've watched you for so long and you're into Homestuck now!!
Imagine my surprise when I discovered I was already subscribed.
ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
i come for the art; stay for the awesome music xD anywho; i love your art ; w;
Good art. Good taste in music. Smart (for calling Vriska a 8itch even if she is one of my fave characters.) If I could I would marry you.
@ImTheTerrible1
i think youtube took it off or something. this place has been getting more strict about the copyright crap. i'm not gonna be surprised if i end up getting banned anytime soon
@moldyzombie7 Oh yeah, and where the heck you get all those brushes too!!
You are seriously amazing!
My favourite artist has gone homestuck...
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS
this is beautiful but let me ask what are your pen settings cuz i'm new to sai so i only know how to do line art and not much coloring cuz things blend or i cant find the right colors...any tips or brush setting tips you can give :3
the blur or water tool can help blend/shade
also, if you have a reference, you can copy and paste it into a different layer, and you can get the exact colors then.
i learned all this by no but thanks for actually replying lol (i abandoned sai for krita so it's whatever now xD)
+Collin Graham oh ok, no problem!
This is so amazing!!! Did you do this mostly on one layer??? Wow!!!
GORGEOUS
Reminds me of that vampire chick from Adventure Time.
Let me tell you about Homestuck.

@Lexysama

How can You have preselected colors without using the color palette? apparently, That makes you go faster coloring. Anyway, excellent drawing
Amazing.
Brush settings? How do you get that effect? I've been trying and its been not so great...
your atanomy is admirable!!
//Also using the undo button helps! I'm glad SAI has unlimited undos! ^w^
@cabbagetabel

ONE LAYER??AND THIS IS DOODLING..??..omg..

Yes, comment section. We get it. One layer. Such amaze. Very danger. Wow.

It also would've helped if you were a bit nicer.

Yay,one of my favorite artists has gone Homestuck!

@ZeriaChan there's no way to explain it I promise you. if you read it, it makes more sense than the whole world.
STELAR SENPAI!
The song you used
HOW DO YOU DO THAT ON 1 LAYER DAMN
where did you get all these brushes??i can't find them Т_Т
which brush did you use?
//Well, it stops undoing after you undo EVERYTHING. But I think there's a setting to make them unlimited.
