(Someone during the livestream of my painting asked for my brush settings I use on SAI, so here are the four main brushes that I’ve been working with (anyone that popped into the livestream will know for what various styles and what not.) I don’t use the copic one very much, but the other three get regular use.
I generally, while painting, use them as following:
SAI brush: edits and details
Copic brush: smoothing, especially on skin
Edge brush: for pretty much all of the painting itself; gives a nice hard-painting style
Fur: self explanatory; animal fur.
I’m also pretty certain that the first brush is just the generic settings for the SAI brush, but just in case I did change them I figure I’d add it. That’s also the brush I use to draw the sketches/lines for all of my Naga asks, if anyone was wondering. You may want to up the density to about 94 or so, if you plan to be lining with it, however.
To get various textures to make the last three brushes, you may have to download these:

Unless I’ve edited them (poor memory, can’t remember), the copic brush and “fur” (actually titled as spread, but I tend to use it to draw fur, so yeah) are listed in the various special brush settings that the download includes. The edge one, on the other hand, I created personally.
If you need help downloading these settings, this video should help:

Hope this helps anyone! C:)
