Description Update on Sept 1st 2013: I remade the tutorial almost completely because the old one kinda sucked. If anyone is interested about the old version it's here: i.imgur.com/VrFRPVE.jpg
Since I get asked about which tool I used a lot, this improved version is done with the basic brush tool.



Whew tutorials are hard to make...

Anyway, when ~Rustic-Moonlit-Rose commented that the fire in raycrystal.deviantart.com/art/… looks amazing I said that tutorials could help her but she said that there aren't any for Sai really and I noticed that too so I thought I could make one since I like drawing fire

So yeah... I hope it's good

By the way, I used the watercolor tool (like I always do).
Since people are asking about it, the settings I use are 0 for blending, 50 for dilution, 80 for persistence.


EDIT: Holy f--- O_O I wake up in the morning and what do I find...? 2000 faves!!! +40 watchers more I thought this would get around my usual 200... thank you so much guys

EDIT2: ...omg. A DD? I can't believe it, oh my god thank you so much!!!! O_O *does not know what to say*

I know that this is supposed to be for SAI, but I've never used SAI and it still reads wonderfully. Great job on that! It can be really hard to make a tutorial without getting into individual preferences and style, but you did. This can help anyone using digital coloring techniques. Thank you!

ShinshiaNeko In reply to ??? [2011-08-09 00:51:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much for this! The only thing I could say is that for future reference, make sure you point out which brush settings to use, or if there really isnt an exact setting. So... what are the brush settings for this type of fire? I have an idea, but I'd like to know exact.

RayCrystal In reply to ShinshiaNeko [2011-08-09 07:56:53 +0000 UTC]

Well, my watercolor tool's blending, dilution and persistence are 0, 50, 80 respectively, I think that they are defaults but yeah I think I could have written that. xD Glad you liked

I don't know .___. now quite a number of people have Sai, but you can't find much in the way of brushes/textures/tutorials for it...
