Description
Note: Updated because the silly PDF previewer showed my gradiant-coloured fonts as black (wtf?) -_-' it should look a LOT better now.
Here it is! A short tutorial on how to paint fire, a technique I used when painting this:Calling it version 1.0 for now
I hope this helps!If there's anything you'd like clarified, let me know. I've got a backlog of over 6,600 messagse to sort through (and I appreciate every one!!), so it may take me a little bit to respond to everyone's comments - rest assured I will read them all, it just takes me a while since I don't get a lot of DA time. But eventually I WILL answer all questions.
If you've got an important question though, please Note me instead.
Thanks to everyone who expressed an interest in this tutorial - enjoy!

Thank you. Β I can't seem to get that soft brush you are getting. Β I have my "Brush Tip Shape" size > 9px, angle > -16, roundness > 40, hardness > 0, spacing > 1%, "Size Jitter" > Control > Fade, "Angle Jitter" > Control > Pen Pressure, "Airbrush" and "Smoothing". Β I get stuck on Step Three. Β I have trouble replicating what I see in the picture provided Β Β

friend of mine does this in b/w n then lets the pc fill it through.... eeerm i forgot how this colours adjustment window was called again xD

Yeah that would work! I think I know what you mean, like the Hue/Saturation or Color Balance tool in PS??
π: 0 β©: 1
its color balance i think
he got these numbers noted down for what to fill in there for lights, shadows, mids... to get fire

really helpful for other artists... fire is one of those things that is hard to get looking correct even when everything else in a picture can look good, you totally nailed it though :>

Thank you so much! I'm glad I pulled it off -- took me forever to finally figure it out! So good to hear it's been helping people

it is worth taking the time to figure out how things look to learn the secret, because your artwork with this fire is amazing, it looks very real.
