lucky you I drew a sort of half-baked guide on beak faces a while ago for my patreon supporters! I figure it’s been long enough since I posted it there for me to put it up here- all this is just how I do it, it’s not like I’ve been taught how to!
fyi I draw little how to guides like this as part of the 20 dollar reward tier, and I do take requests! normally I leave these just on patreon but I get this kind of ask a lot! so here you go
i feel bad for people who use sai but dont know about stabilizer, transparent brushes and clipping groups
this is where you find stabilizer:
i personally prefer to use S-4 for default drawing and S-7 when i need to draw really long smooth lines. this is what it does:
this is where you find transparent brush:
when you enable it, you can use your currently selected brush as eraser. this is what it does:
this is where you find clipping group:
you have to have at least two layers, the base layer and the one for the colors. when you draw on the layer with little red bar on side, the stuff you put on the layer appears only on top of the things you have on the base layer. the effect is p much same as preserving opacity except you dont change anything about the base layer and you can still use layer textures and effects. this is what it does:

Some snippets from a Hat Drawing Tutorial I just posted to Patreon. I may share it openly, eventually, but for now it’s available to all patrons, $1 and up!
And they’re like 2 dollars guys this is the best pen ive ever owned in my life
AND ITS WATER PROOF I PUT SOME WATER ON SOEM LINES AND IT DIDNT BLEED GUYS THESE PENS
I have used these pens! They are, indeed, awesome. Very good for drawing outlines and then using watercolors over. One of these, a water brush, and a tiny set of watercolor pans and you have an awesomely portable art kit. Like so (though that one has a different black brush pen).
