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*

Nicely done tutorial. And it'll work no matter what program you're using as it doesn't reference any particular tools.

RayCrystal In reply to Chrysshart [2011-08-10 19:39:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yup, it should, I wrote that I used Sai's watercolor tool since people asked about it but it's not like it would be exclusive since there's similar tools in other programs.

I was looking EVERYWHERE for a fire tutorial for Sai, but after a while, I gave up. This getting a DD makes me so happy, and it's incredibly useful. Thank you for making it. c:

RayCrystal In reply to Thors-Hammer77 [2011-08-10 15:34:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
Well, like it says on the title it's Paint Tool SAI. Probably other programs have something similar to it though.
