This is not really a specific tutorial, but just to show how my progress on "My Sword is Ready."

Programs and tools used: SAI paint tool and Photoshop CS3, small Wacom Intuos4 tablet
Tools in SAI used: Ink pen, bucket tool (which I don't usually use and I really don't recommend it... had to fix it some parts later @_@), brush tool, water tool, clipping masks, blur tool
Time: About 5-6 hours

Any questions, just comment~ ENJOY!
