Description Wanted to create a tutorial about how to draw various magic effects, deciding to do so by the example of fire.
Not sure how much this resembles for fire, but for magic effects, I think this method is quite proficient)

In the future I'll try to complete this guide with other various effects drawn the same way)

Also for a better understanding you can look through video of the Drawing process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Ql2Y…

Other tutorials:


Many thanks to for translation)
And thanks to all who's supporting me at Patreon , I really apriciate your support))

This is going to be extremely helpful, just like your other tutorials you've made. My OC is heavily focused around fire so I needed this! XD

Thank you so much for the tutorials! Your work is amazing! ^-^

This is most likely the best and easiest fire tutorial I've seen! Though I haven't searched for that many fire tutorials... it doesn't look 100% realistic but I really love the look.

Phew. Tried it out: sta.sh/02cy6c1hn21i It's annoying because the program I use has different tools and layer modes, but I managed to get a similar effect, though it doesn't look as good as yours. I'm still really happy about the result, thanks for making this tutorial! ^^

Hi,

Great tutorial!  I purchased SAI because of your tutorials, but I'm missing some tools.

I have ten tools, but your tutorial shows many more.  Where are they?

I've looked and looked and looked, but cannot find the "Blend" tool, nor the "Blur" tool, the "Bic" tool, the "Details", "Paper", "Crayon", nor any of the extra nine you have below the standard ones.

Are they part of the standard program or custom brushes added later?

Please help!  Thanks!

Brian

Hi)
Am... unfortunately all version can be different a bit. But you also can to make any new tool yourself)
I have about 25 tools in standard version (I think most from them is a custom brushes), but I use only little part from it)

So, I think you can:
1 - Create them by yourself
2 - I can send my version of Sai to you. (but it is by Russian)

Hi,


I'm not sure my reply went through, so I'm sending it again.  Thank you so very much for your offer to send me your SAI.  I would so much appreciate it.  I have a friend that speaks Russian, so he can translate, then I can set up my SAI to match it.

I tried some more of your tutorials, but couldn't do anything correctly.

As a show of my appreciation, I have signed up with Paetron and pledged to donate $5 monthly.

My email address is briand@rmi.net if you want to send the files there.

I love, love, LOVE your work!

Thank you!

Hi,

It would be so amazingly fantastic if you could send your version of SAI to me. I have a friend that speaks Russian, so he could translate it for me.  Then I could set up my English version with the same tools as yours.

I tried making leaves like in your landscape tutorial, but couldn't even get close. Without your brushes, I can't do anything!

As a show of my appreciation, I have registered with Paetron and signed up to pledge $5 monthly.


My email is briand@rmi.net if you want to send the files.

I love love LOVE your work!  Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Hi Vadim,

I'm the guy who asked if you could maybe make some videos of your black and white work.  I'm LOVING your sketches that you release on Paetron.

Is there any chance you might record drawing a few and post them on Youtube or in some other way?

Thanks!

Video guide about Sketches?
Hm.... Unfortunately I do sketches for a long time and so I can't do video, but I could do text tutorial about it in the future)

I'm referring to the sketches you make for patrons.  They're wonderful.  I have no art experience, so I need to start with black and white.  Is there any way you could record the process of making them like you did your fire and texture and nature tutorials?

Thanks!

Brian

Hi,

I have increased my pledge from $5 to $7.  Have you had a chance to record the sketch process?

I will increase it to $15 if necessary.  Also, May I request some PSD files?

Thanks!

Hi,

I've really been enjoying your sketches on Patreon over the months.  I'm the guy who asked for a sketch tutorial. 

Is there any way you might be able to record drawing some sketches then post them on your Youtube channel?

The other tutorials are great, but they're too advanced for me.  I need help with the basic sketches!

Thanks!

Ahh awesome! Thanks once again! I will definitely be practicing this in the near future~ Thanks for the magical effects idea too
Just one question, where is "Blend Mode - Addition"? I don't see it in layer modes, is it "Screen" (3rd mode) or "Overlay" (4th mode)?

Yakovlev-vad In reply to VengefulStrudel [2015-06-04 12:42:21 +0000 UTC]

thank you)
No, It is not "Screen" or "Overlay"... it is strange, it must to be there...

VengefulStrudel In reply to Yakovlev-vad [2015-06-05 09:16:54 +0000 UTC]

Nope, it's not there...I googled it and people say "Addition" and "Luminosity" are the same thing. Luminosity is there, I guess I'm going to use that xP
