Ahh, Paint Tool SAI. A wonderful program. When I first tried it, it reminded me a LOT of OC...but better, because it responded more nicely. It does have the smoothest inking in the universe (assuming you don't have shaky hands like me...I just have to draw really slow!). I used the trial for the month long period and fell in love but unfortunately I already have more than enough programs (OC1.1, PS, Painter X... my beloved Oekaki...).
I think you're getting a bit closer to what you want. Lineart can be frustrating, I understand.
And I totally see the higher saturation thing. Gives your image a brighter look vs. using unsaturated colors when it looks duller. I can see how Genki utilizes this to her advantage...her pictures are always so bright and cute.
You did this wonderfully in your new pic, I think you are getting the idea quite well, for someone unfamiliar with it. I still haven't figured this out...I'm color-dumb. I tend to desaturate and my people always end up with funky skintones with ugly purplish shading. Haha. Now that you mention it, I'm going to work on that...
=) Keep going! You are inspiring me. ;D
