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*

Xurbon In reply to ??? [2011-08-08 19:03:34 +0000 UTC]

hmm i think colouring with a tablet is pretty damn hard so i usually draw black and white
can u tell me the best way to blend colours and to put shades?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RayCrystal In reply to Xurbon [2011-08-08 19:09:55 +0000 UTC]

Well I think you should look a coloring tutorial about that, there are plenty of good ones and yup I know it's kinda hard to draw or color anything with tablet first... you'll get used to it.

For example check this out; [link] It has some good tips. I'm not very good at explaining
