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*

KizUna-Cat In reply to ??? [2011-08-08 22:03:52 +0000 UTC]

good and interesting tutorial!! ....but you can do that in any painting program, you didn't tell anything related to sai

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RayCrystal In reply to KizUna-Cat [2011-08-09 08:05:30 +0000 UTC]

Yup, but Sai and for example Photoshop do have some difference, so in my opinion at least it's easier to follow a tutorial for the same program.. thanks

EvilVixen05 In reply to ??? [2011-08-08 22:00:09 +0000 UTC]

omg! Thank you so much for putting this up! See, I used use Photoshop CS2 but ever since I moved and well my older laptop got screwed, I haven't been able to use it again.

So now I use SAI and its a bit weird for me since all I have is like the trial version, I wish there was a free download for the full version. I haven't gotten used to it yet... but this tutorial will prove useful when I do draw a fire based character! ^.^ Thanks!

RayCrystal In reply to EvilVixen05 [2011-08-09 08:06:40 +0000 UTC]

Too bad that happened but I moved from Gimp (like Photoshop, kinda) to Sai and I'm happy I did good that this will maybe help you

EvilVixen05 In reply to RayCrystal [2011-08-09 20:40:13 +0000 UTC]

I tried GIMP, it was way too awkward and a little stiff to me. But that's just me. XD

And it will be helpful! Fire in the morning, fire in the evening, fire at supper time!
