Paint Tool SAI - aradia

[@spaceworld2000]

You probably wont see this but! I cannot believe its been like 5 years since this was posted. This video helped me, an 11-ish year old at the time, realize how badly I wanted to become a good artist. Thank you so much for putting this up.

[@zecrom1234]

same boat i loved this video when i was 12 and it really inspired me to draw :)

[@addisonhecker2533]

Damn we all really did live the same life huh

[@venomousrodent772]

ive had it saved in my playlist for years because it was inspiring QuQ

[@vyriem3387]

Spaceworld2000 wow this is exactly what happened with me haha with this exact video

[@empadrawss]

quarantine brought me back here after years

[@paola6005]

OMG I remember I saw this drawing when I was like 15 years old. I loved it so much that I even printed and pasted it on my wall and in my school notebooks. Now I am 20 years old and I still love this drawing, I hope you will see this comment one day and know that your drawing was a big part of my adolescence

[@dysphoriex2792]

ORIGINAL TIME 45 MINUTES HOLY FUCK

[@aradiiiah]

[@sixthcavalier]

This song fits aradia so well, she is one of my favorite characters and also one of muy patron trolls, i love this viddddd i cant stop watching ittt

[@Лада-г1ж]

I look back on this video years later and its what got me interested in digital art. You've influenced me a lot)))

[@KaiInMotion]

I'm just here for the middle school N O S T A L G I A lmao

[@moonlight_cissa]

Whenever I need inspiration I come back to your videos, the nostalgia and the overall feeling can take away from any type of art block!

[@crispysakana]

ONE LAYER ONE.... HOOOWWWW

[@lexx708]

i know right

[@breeazy_]

Anime Paradoxic a

[@asph0le531]

doing art on one layer is actually pretty easy! except for if you're gonna do lineart. that probably wouldnt work out well,,

[@tristinducks5415]

spookyfish.mp4 i dont use more than one layer, it bothers me and it's difficult for me

[@hel2727]

Actually two. Sorry I'm so late :0

[@FicusMaster]

are you shitting on me THIS IS NOT SIMPLE AND QUICK you're amazing!

[@Jazzie560]

oh this is just absolutely gorgeous. the earth tones and the watery kind of effect is just beautiful! great work!

[@iced4399]

Thank you, for this. Years ago, when I saw this video, I didn't know I wanted to become an artist. Now here I am, improving and coming back here to one of the videos that inspired me. Thank you, so, so, much.

[@Sam.Wendorf]

holy mother o god. this has been my favourite aradia drawing ever for like 6 months. and you did it really friggin quickly and with two layers. woulda taken me a day to do the thing.

[@fernandafelkler775]

Oh my! I can't belive I found this video again! Your drawnings gave so much motivation as a 13 years old and very begginer artist! I'm glad for seen this one more time, thank you!

[@animeXtechnoXRWJ]

the marker tool is a very versatile tool in paint tool sai and personally its one of my favorites. And this artist here knows her stuff about it.

[@NullFashion]

ah, i could just picture you drawing this on a winters day with this song playing. so great.

[@panic1742]

because of you... BECAUSE OF F@@"-8/ YOU... I've got myself trapped in the no-exit void called HOMESTUCK.

[@CK-pg1kr]

[@alucard2victoria]

[@EmeraldEyesOfThunder]

"Simple" and "Quick" are NOT things that you would associate with this masterpiece, my friend. It's beautiful.

[@emily5476]

even 3 years after first seeing this i am still fawning over how good this art is, it was the thing that even got me into homestuck

[@Aquatwin22]

just god YOUR ART WILL ALWAYS BE GORGEOUS! Beautifully done (also yes, aradia is a very awesome character indeed)

[@CrazyRabixxx]

I’m back here for nostalgia sake!

[@Frouwke]

Twice I turned my back on you... Haha, I was looking at someone's likes and I clicked this and I heard the song, got confused and checked if my iTunes wasn't on. Great song! Love the paintery effect you managed to maintain here..

[@polishpolor7951]

[@monetharris6803]

I like the song you chose for this. It's a nice overall feel, good work.

[@damnboy5663]

[@gogogaga223]

Your art is just simply beautiful, and it inspires me so much to get as good as you, and others some day. Especially with people.

[@CarrieDenyes]

[@Cinnameltthat123]

[@navilahidayat976]

[@pallubro]

This video made me discover homestuck back in 2012 :0, I still remember searching in google the name Aradia and seeing all these grey creatures and colorful art, I was so impressed that i wanted to know all about what homestuck was :v

[@foxtailgaming8996]

I love Aradia to! But my personal favorite is Vriska :| (plz don't hate me for liking vriska! )

[@saa___br]

[@In0ccent3669]

So you're the one who drew my and my friends favorite aradia picture!

[@diysaurs6545]

What brush did you use to sketch the base?

[@leralle5454]

DIYsaurs lead

[@ellaowly]

Two layers... ohhh myyy gawwdd... amazing!! :)

[@nonnabizness7718]

This speedpaint changed my life btw

[@werewolfgal1]

If you're used to organic media, then one or two layers is actually extremely easy to do. Especially in programs that, to a point, mimic organic media.(Such as Paint Tool Sai and Corel Painter)

[@sixthcavalier]

god, the nostalgia. this video introduced me to hs in 2013

[@supertoxicshota3339]

how does one art. this. amazingly. nwskjcakl. you're just a perf artist x3

[@ramenpyon1]

This is so beautiful! :D

[@2angel228]

nostalgia bruh, this video made me become a big fan of little dragon lol

[@Angelicylime]

This is sorcery.... *___* so pretty

[@CyberMatryoshka]

This was so touching, that I cried. GEEZ, I should stop crying at SAI-vids. ._.

[@chumbawomba3298]

Congratualtions, you get the most honest commentor award.

[@wish264]

Can you post your brush settings for the sketch/lineart? I love that pencil look you've got :D

[@maya_papaya5551]

I can't stop listening to this song on sound cloud

[@caslyon4571]

Beautiful!

[@ru3na]

its actually the paper brush with the paper texture applied. it came with my version of sai

[@mittensnkittensxoxo]

Holly, this is perfect.

[@xXNiceXxXGirlXx]

rewatching this vid for the 10th time bc its very inspiring

[@CruelieAndrews]

Little dragon + Aradia +FUCKIN' AWESOME ART= death by awesome.

[@BoyOfLol]

Did you use the crayon brush for the lineart? I really like it, it adds personality and texture =D Really cool picture, it looks very.. vauge (in a good way), the way you drew the hair, and everything just kind of blending with the back ground, it really looked like a dream or something. Great work!

[@boomboomfirepower1]

WOW amaizing! how do you have that pencils or settings in sai?? the paint looks so good

[@Chainsdreamsprite]

...And traditionalish artist all make layer overusers look like noobs.

[@almondjoi4446]

thank you

[@sarahmichelle8929]

AH this is so great

[@HarunaXDemDem]

Aradia is my friends patron troll, she's cosplaying as her next week. i'll have to show her this video:)

[@mathewsweso]

ONLY 45 MINUTES. It's crazzy.

[@Mochi-gi5nn]

I don't know if you usually reply to your comments, I just hope you reply to this. I'm an upcoming artist, I know I'm not good, I know I'm nod bad, I just want to know how many yeard had it taken you to get to this level? Did you have to go to take any lessons? Any tips for an artist upcoming?

[@oldpineapple1765]

It says in the description: Twice by Little Dragon :)

[@sharkodorian]

@Kaqome I know you're asking Ru3na, but from my experience it doesn't really matter too much on a normal painting, however once during my final exam for Art i had it up at 96% cos of the amount of detail in my work and the number of layers I had (i regret to say it was over 200) and it rendered me unable to save the image in SAI form, I had to save it in PSD. So unless it goes up to the 95+% range and you have over a hundred layers I think you should be safe(:

[@knallfroosch]

I really love that song :)

[@whatthehecktye]

omg i saw this on my subscriptions and i almost screamed during class; i fuckin love your videos SO DAMN MUCH!! oh yeah, just wondering but what happened to your tumblr account? sometimes when i go to check it out it says its not there or not accessible

[@Miyankochan]

you mastered the marker tool O_O!

[@annieleonhardt3778]

When you open SAI I usually go for where it says 'presets' and choose 'A4 - 350dpi (JIS) and it creates a rather large canvas. I just zoom in 50%, draw what i need to in that space, and crop to the drawing.

[@magiclightdolls]

beautiful x33

[@jessabelle3796]

Okay, obviously, I'm not Ru3na, so I don't know if she uses anything different, but the best resolution to use is 300dpi (graphics standard). Anything higher, and you'll find that your system is bogged down and moving really slowly, so you should only use it if something is super extra mondo important and if you go lower, it starts to look grainy. I'm assuming that you're not making anything for the creation of a web page, like a gif, but if you are, then the dpi should be 72. Hope that helps.

[@breathingtokyo]

great work, I want to know your brush settings too >.

[@MaxHoward42069]

Oh gosh this is really beautiful... if I may ask, what are your settings for the marker brush?

[@soniaaltarriba5748]

This is awesome

[@ChikoKnows]

I really like your taste in music

[@IsaKirkland]

1.- Love your style

[@lumi1508]

[@kalliweatherly2330]

[@grobisam]

When you make speed painting like that, try to put them on youtube in HD. It's WAY better when we want to appreciate the details n_n

[@niquijave]

[@pittkyon]
