Description Here you guys go! Lemme know if you have any questions

- I use Adobe Photoshop, but you should be able to apply this technique to other programs.
- I use a tablet, but with effort and patience, the same result can be approximated with a mouse.
- Can be done on a single layer, or many.
- Can be done using only three colours.
- Does not require special brushes.

I keep trying this but I can't get it right. I think I need a tutorial on "scribbling" cause that's what keeps killing me. But overall I think it's a great tutorial ^-^ And it makes amazing fire! I can't wait to get the hang of it

jocarra In reply to fantasticdevonator [2013-11-16 00:58:32 +0000 UTC]

Hm, yeah.  Ironically, "scribbling" can be harder than it sounds!  Because it's not just entirely random, but it can't be too orderly, either.  Maybe try "squiggling" instead of scribbling?  More side-to-side wiggly movements than just back-and-forth scribbling movements?

Anyway, glad you find it helpful - best of luck to you!

Thank you! I have always been a big fan of your art and I wish you the best of luck with future projects ^-^ (Oh, and do you think you would be releasing anymore tutorials?)

Aww, thanks!  I like doing tutorials, but I haven't really had time lately, plus I'm not sure what I'd do one on!

fantasticdevonator In reply to jocarra [2013-11-16 07:32:39 +0000 UTC]

Could you make a tutorial on how to best draw wolves? I know it seems kinda basic, but I am not very good and I know that if I had that simple skill then I would be able to apply all your other tutorials and make decent art ^-^

jocarra In reply to fantasticdevonator [2013-11-17 18:05:07 +0000 UTC]

Heh, people keep asking for something like that, but to be honest, I almost don't really know what I could suggest that other people haven't already.  Normally my go-to response for "I don't know how to draw X" is to go online and look at pictures of X :b  I suppose what you're really looking for is something that teaches how to break down something (anything, from wolf to corvettes to oak trees) into its component shapes/colours, so you know how to approach drawing/painting it?

fantasticdevonator In reply to jocarra [2013-11-17 19:15:37 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I think that's what I am looking for. I know there are many of those online, but I guess I just like how you do your tutorials. They make it so easy to learn. Like your star tutorial, it helped me make the most recent art on my page and I love it! Oh well, even if you don't get around to any more tutorials that would be fine. I still just love looking at the new works you post

Thanks a lot   I do like making tutorials, but they can take a while to make, and I've been really behind on work, plus I gotta finance the move back to Canada from Scotland, so a little too busy for the next little while >_>
