Somebody wanna link me a tut on how to effectively use paint tool SAI? Its so weird.
Well I don't know any tutorials but what I do is make a sketch layer in a fairly light color on white (generally a light grey and in the water color tool don't judge me) and after that's done hop up a layer using the lineart layer, then trace out all of the lines from the sketch layer. After that I start adjusting brush weights and for coloring I found some kind of tutorial but I forgot where it was. It basically went like this.
You take the lineart layers and use the magic wand tool to select everything inside where you want to color, then make a new layer, and go slightly into the lines (mind you, not out of them. might wanna use thick lines or zoom in pretty tight.) then go like paintcan that stuff. For the next layer which is on the outside (ie: hair) you could go with the same technique, but if you have a bunch of lines (like you would in hair) it's much better to just make a new layer below the first one, and just GO WAY OUTSIDE THE LINES UNLEASH THE PRIMAL COLORING ANIMAL INSIDE YOU and then use the magic wand tool again, this time on the same layer (if that doesn't work use the lineart layer) and erase that stuff. Then use the eraser tool and get rid of the excess.
