Comment on Husky the Merman by Checker-Bee
Oh Husky, you silly, silly kid you.
Hey, so here's a tip when using SAI! If you wanna get straight lines for things like weapons, there's a vector tool you can use. If you look at the layers tab, there should be a new layer option that has a pen tool over it - that's called a vector layer. It will allow you to use the vector tool, which will let you do straight lines, curved lines, or just normally drawn lines that the program will smooth out for you. It's pretty useful!
But if you can't get that to match up with your normal drawing, there's also the option of turning the picture. I don't know about you, but I have an easier time drawing a straight line when it's vertical. So, if you look at the window that shows the overview of your picture, there should be a line that says "Angle" above it. You can use this to adjust the angle so you can draw comfortably, and then simply hit the square button to put it back at its original angle again.
But that's just what I do
Keep playing around with it! It looks like you're learning fast~

o my glob! that's perfect! just what I needed! thanks! And i just discovered the turning thing as I was finishing this drawing (of course 
) but those are really gonna help! thanks for the tips!

Also as another note, if you're using the vector layer, it's really suited for lines and not so much color because the vector tool will smooth itself out - thus, whenever you scribble in color, it will try to make it look fancy and smooth instead of just a blob of color. At that point using a raster layer (the normal kind) for color is your best bet. You can also merge a vector layer and a raster, and while the lines will remain, it will functionally act as a raster layer instead - so make sure all of your vector work is done before you put all of your lines on the same layer!
Blah blah blah I love SAI it is a beautiful program blah ='D
