So I'm traying to paint in SAI but I can't quit get the hold of it, my painting attemps come out as muddy.
Is SAI even good for painting or is it ony good for flat colors?
Any medium can produce muddy colors, it's in the hands of the artist.

Up the edge hardness, turn off the 'blend' option in the advanced settings (the normal blending slider should be enough), and set minimum density to something like 30-40 if you really feel the need to.

How solid are your fundamentals? The basic functions are all there in sai, so this might be a good moment to review and evaluate your progress.

why use a reference if you are just going to do whatever you memorized

>I've painted traditionally
That wasn't the question lol

SAI can be a very powerful painting tool OP even though its associated with weebs using it only to draw anime. You just need to adjust your brushes to mimic proper painting tools.

Use CSP for PS style paitings and textures. It's not good for blending as SAI tho.

>in line with that
Really? That's how I set my opaque brushes (blending set to 15-20) and I have no problems with colors blending when I don't want them to.
As a last resort, use the pen (not ink pen) tool.

Blending isn't an issue for me plus my opaque panting tool is pen.

Wait, which setting is the blending setting? Where is it located?
Whenever anyone talks about sai all I think of is Stephen king's dark tower series.
I can't be the only one.
