SAI Sparkles--Transparent Background — Description
Hi again! So the last time I uploaded resource sparkles was back in 2014--PHEW! 4 years! I've recently gotten back into drawing, and so I decided to redo some sparkles for better quality and more convenience. You might actually recognize the sparkles here to be like the sparkles from here c: And now I bring them to you, in hopes you'll find the quality and ease of use much better! My intentions with these resource sparkles is always to make it the easiest option for those who use SAI or other drawing programs who want to add sparkles to their pictures without using GIMP, Photoshop, or otherwise. I hope you enjoy, and let me know in the comments below if you need and or would like any further assistance! C:

NEW FEATURES:
The download includes a psd. file with 4 layers of sparkles (all shown in the preview image, under various colored backgrounds), all either small or big and of two styles of a regular sparkles and a bolder, diamond-esque sparkle! For those who might
Higher quality sparkles, made smaller on a bigger canvas for less distortion when re-scale-ing/deforming the sparkles!
Even bigger file size: 4000 x 3000 (for detail-oriented projects!)
Variety through layers! Which you can either use all of or use a single layer only--your choice!
Transparent backgrounds! So not only do you not need to use the screen tool to make the background transparent, but you can also change the color of the sparkles themselves using the clipping tool!

Rules:
1. If used, please credit me
2. (Optional) If you do use it, please post a link of it--I love looking at the different ways it's been used!

HOW TO USE/INSTRUCTIONS:
Save the image to your computer.
Open up SAI.
Open project you need the sparkles for.
Click on the layer you want to add the sparkles to.
Open the sparkles psd. file and pick which layer you want to use (if you want to use all the layers available, simply click the folder titled "sparkles" and click the merging tool to merge all the sparkles together at once!).
Ctrl+A to select the entire sparkles canvas.
Copy the sparkles canvas (Ctrl+C).
Go back to layer on project you need the sparkles for.
Paste onto the layer (Ctrl+V). It will appear above the layer you need the sparkles for!
Click on Clipping Group. It will now only appear onto the details of the layer (if you want to play around with the appearance or effect of the sparkles on the layer, the "Mode" tool has tons of fun options! For example, if you want brighter sparkles, try luminosity!)

Your picture should be sparkly now! Always try to HAVE FUN! Sparkles are joy!!
