I use it. Anyone else? What are your thoughts on it?

I like the textures and the way you can make your brush strokes super-smooth.

Here is an example of something I did in SAI. I am proud of it, so please no harsh comments.

I've used it when I didn't have a tablet, but I should give it a try now.

Very nice job you have done there too! Smile

Thanks, I am in love with the program. It gives me super-smooth lines. Very Happy

xD SAI is very amazing!!!

@__@ Sometimes I think it's TOO smooth. I can never get the "traditional" look to come out of it because it's so clear and bold for the lineart. xD I recommend SAI to any newcommers who want their art to be clean.

Plus, it's free!

...For the first 30 days, that is. After that, you have to pay to activate it or pirate a cracked version if you still want to use it.

JEEZ!! I JUST realized my trial expired when I opened the program opened again! ;__;

Hmmmm xD OpenCanvas is free is it has wonderful smooth lines too though.

oC 1.1 is free, no trial, but the later versions have trials.

~~Luckily for me I used keygens for both.~~

Bah, it looks like a poor man's Corel Painter. I'm thinking of getting it through my university, which is around 120 dollars. The regular version is 400.

Photoshop CS4 is like 600 dollars. I don't know a single person who has a genuine version.

Hooray for pirating cracked versions. Very Happy

SAI is great. It'll be hard switching for anything else.

True that! I use Sai for mostly everything. I don't even use Photoshop as often anymore. I recently found a way how to make your own brushes and import your own textures into Sai and it makes it much more awesome to use! x3
