I found it more easy to use prefer than with Photoshop, notably when we did a images with soft shading. Well, it’s just my opinion though. But, to use this software efficiently, you may use a tablet. (Yes, I know it’s expensive… /floor ).



(This images when I trying to made Aoi Sena from Chaos;Head, and I guess my drawing failed to resembles her /blush )

If you interested and want to try this software, you can download it HERE. On note, this software’s interface use japanese language. So if you think it troubling you, you can try THIS version instead. This version is fan-made and its interface use english language.

That's my review for this software. Well, I found about this program when I stuck of idea of colouring my drawing. And now, I used both (SAI and PS) to do my drawing.
