SAI help, Does pen "brush" has pressure?

~Cliffto Feb 10, 2013 Student General Artist

I'm talking about the "pen brush" in coloring layers (not pen as in wacom pen pressure), the pressure works fine on "ink pen brush" , "marker brush", "crayon brush", etc. It's even working great on "pen tools" on lining layers.

But the pressure does not works on "pen brush" (basic, the first one in SAI brush box on coloring layers)and "binary brush". what happened? Do they actually have pressure or not? I never remember it before, because i usually make lines on "lining layers mode" and just now I try to make lines from normal layer but these 2 brushes does not give me pressure.

Yeah they have pressure sensitivity, but they don't blend. The pressure will only effect the density and/or the size of the brush.

So is this normal of what I have?
When I press the wacom pen soft or hard it does not create different thickness.

No that is not normal. Try closing down the SAI program and reopening it. If that doesn't work try unplugging your tablet and plugging back in and the restarting the program. And if that doesn't work reboot your computer.

OHHHH WAIT! Before you do all that. Check to see if you "Min Size" is set to something low. Personally I keep mine at 0% for the most part. This is probably your issue.

Honestly Sai is a somewhat glitchy program. On minute your sensitivity is working the next it's not. Then you're tablet is not communicating with the program. But still an amazing program none the less.
