Well I don't know when you joined but even though it's only been a year these threads used to have a very positive and motivational mood to keep drawing
The idea of trying to post the first second of the day or a second before the deadline was a bit of fun and it was based on drawing everyday and being disciplined in some way
When badges were first thought of it was based on completing challenges whether drawing everyday for a while or doing a special thing, it was an idea based on drawing.
There used to be streams going all day, some streamers tried to stream for as long as they possibly could to oneup eachother

But I don't get that vibe anymore, it's all slowed down, the motivation has faded and the shitposting has gone from funposting to just clogging up the thread
It no longer feels like a positive environment to improve skills and make some good artist friends.

As a tool to just draw everyday it has much more potential than that. It connects you with people who are also drawing everyday, people who want to improve and are proactive about it.

If anyone makes a new site you should implement a focus on building a environmennt that encourages improvement and discourages shitposting

Can someone tell me how to make a brush in Paint Tool SAI that works this way?

Those colors...they are just beautiful to me. I tried some "watercolor"-brushes but it doesnt nearly look like this. That yellow and orange seem to be in totally harmony.

Also: Any way to copy that style of black pen like in this picture? It looks so dirty to me. Im totally new to digital drawing.

Maybe more like this?
