If you do not then I suggest you take the 'start-sai' from the trial version (and put it in your crack version folder) then uninstall the trial so all you have to do is press 'start-sai' and it will be there. If you have the trial version then you should press 'start-sai' and the elemap will be there. Add this to the folder where your paint tool sai folder is (mine is called PaintTool SAI English Pack) and then put this in the folder titled 'elemap'. or you can purchase it here ( gum.co/TSOdf ) for $1.

The program I use is Paint Tool SAI (the original trial one not the crack) and here is the trial -> /sai/ĮDIT: You can download the last brush's elemap file for only 100 points. If you want to ask questions regarding other brushes just ask and I might make another one of these. So here are some of the brushes I use for my line art, you are free to use these settings as they are or customize them further to your liking.
