my brush settings
right-click on an empty field in the tool box and choose the corresponding tool for each brush setting.
The "density" of my brushes is not always 100% the same. I make it higher or lower depending on how much color I want the brush to make.
WATERCOLOR BRUSH: for blending & blurring
BRUSH: for painting (lineless). Hard brush
BRUSH: for very soft lining. I recommend using stabilizer S-3.
MARKER: for hair because of the slight "strings/lines" it creates along the color
BRUSH: for painting (lineless). Soft brush
AIR BRUSH: main brush for painting (lineless).
WATERCOLOR BRUSH: for blending. I mainly use it for blending highlights in the eyes.
BRUSH: for lining. Same lining brush used from the pro artist YAMIO. Middle-soft brush. I recommend using stabilizer S-3
BRUSH: for painting hair (lineless). Brush which creates slight "strings/lines" along with the color.
MARKER: for solid shading. Simple but good. Blends only a very little.
PENCIL/PEN: for crisp lining. Was a default tool in my SAI version but apparently others do not have it. Works very good without help of stabilizer.
Besides these, you should also always utilize an air brush.
Feel free to use my brush settings like you want, but it's better to find your own brushes to customize and stylize your artwork to your own needs.

UPDATES
- THE DATE FOR THE STREAMS WILL BE 5th January 2016 around 9:00 pm CET
- added new teaching lesson category: drawing without tablet/with vectors
- everyone will be pm'd about the date once I decided on it.
- if anybody tells me how to record a stream and how to add undertitles to it, I will upload the streams as a video on Youtube.
INTRODUCTION
First off I'll explain why I'm starting with this.
I think it's not a secret anymore that there is a general complaint by whomever that the artists of TBT seem to lack quality in their drawings. I personally do not agree with this, but for the sake of getting rid of this complaint I'm starting this project called teaching stream! I've been confronted with this complaint since a long time, as I see my friends and other people getting bashed on one after another. As a witness of this vicious circle, I am tired of this and I want to stop it entirely.
I can't stand that people are permanently getting bashed on for their art which people worked hard for. I can only repeat myself that art is not just about high quality. If you think it's just not your taste, well okay. But it's not okay that you start insulting, you're hurting the feelings of the artist!!!
Even when the artwork doesn't look good in the end, did you ever think about the fact that the artist maybe tried a lot and spend many hours on it but still failed in the end? It's okay to fail! Through failures humans learn and become better. I don't want anyone trampling on someone's hard efforts!
Furthermore, art and personal affairs are 2 different things. If person xy is an One Piece die-hard-fan like I am myself, I won't get this fact mixed up with this person's art.
That being said, I will always support any artist out there as long as you try and have the willpower and I am very willing to help anyone with what I can no matter how "bad" this person otherwise may be.
This forum is important to me and I want all people to feel comfortable here :'>
TEACHING STREAM
So for the sake of helping people to improve and have a chance to get outta this vicious circle of bashing:
This teaching stream (for SAI only!) will feature lessons such as
(about anime & chibi art)
-basics
-tips and tricks
-color schemes
-base coloring
- easy & advanced cel-shading
- effects
-placing shadows
-basic backgrounds
- anatomy
- lining
- NEW: drawing without tablet/with vectors
I want it to be interactive, which means I explain and show you how to do it while you are able to watch me and ask questions, and after that we will switch so that I watch you drawing and trying the just learned things out, so that I can see if you understood and use it the right way and correct you if needed.
So please make sure that you can use join.me or a different streaming device (free on the Internet) and have enough time for the whole stream and drawing yourself.
I would prefer it if only SERIOUSLY interested artists are participating, because such a process needs a lot of time and preparation on my side as I am serious about this and I'd rather focus on the ones who need it more ^^ unfortunately I don't have endless time ;-;
if there are any other topics you would like to hear something about other than the ones mentioned above, let me know and I'll look if I can do something, though there are topics I'm not that confident in myself yet, but I will try my best!^^
I'm nowhere near high quality or perfect or whatever too but I do think that I can help others. I'm willing to share all of what I've learned up till now.
I'm actually too shy and clumsy for such streaming projects but I know that even if I myself mess up here and there I do not need to feel ashamed as we're all still learning, right? ^^
If you're seriously interested in participating in the teaching stream for SAI (please read the descriptions about it first), please let me know and I'll start to set this up!
Feel free to voice any suggestions for this project! Everyone is welcomed if you are serious about your art!
I hope this is a good idea! I spent a lot of time thinking about this...^^
