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*

RayCrystal In reply to MiCkIart14 [2012-07-03 07:45:10 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately nope, but you can download a trial for a month for free/buy the license for 5250JPY (~50 euros) [link] here

Do we make layer changes?

RayCrystal In reply to argan99 [2012-06-22 18:58:33 +0000 UTC]

I don't recall using multiple layers in this tutorial, but these days I would use another layer with luminosity mode to make the fire glow effect stronger.
