However, if you DON’T have a tablet, you may want to consider using this tool for colouring, as even with a mouse, you can still simulate pressure, because the tool doesn’t ultimately go to the darkest point, or use the most pigment it can for the colour when clicked.

You can use this tool for colouring if you wish, though I find it more useful for soft shading. It doesn’t blend as much as some other tools in the program, but there is some definite blending there. So, like I said, it really is different from how it’s sometimes done in other programs, and is indeed a very soft brush.

Here’s an example of the Airbrush tool at work. The pack comes with 8 brushes in total, which is pretty small, but considering these are aimed to aid beginners, one can hardly complain. I also find this tool is particularly useful for soft shading. It comes with a few unique brush types as well, such as the smudge brushes as well as a custom move tool to add the much-needed versatility to this otherwise simple and minimalist set. Also, unlike the Pen tool, I believe this tool also does blend a bit, thus this tool is fairly useful for colouring. In SAI, you have a brush that has a rather soft edge.

Take the default paint program, in that, the Airbrush tool randomly colours pixels within it’s cursor. However, unlike those programs, this tool is…significantly different in SAI. This is yet another recurring tool that other paint programs have, such as Windows default paint program. However, to manage to use it properly, you do have to know the basics of Paint Tool SAI brushes. And now, I’ll be going over SAI’s Airbrush tool. Use them to draw grass, bushes or any natural element.
