How I draw easy and quick fire / magic, a tutorial :) 1/3 [ #art #tutorial ]

First part of tutorial. Rough shapes resembling fire are drawn in box. Text underneath the box reads: 'Rough shapes. Depends on what you're going for but it needs to feel flud.' Example squiggly shapes are sketched out underneath.

Second part of tutorial. Top image shows shapes from part one with circled areas. Text underneath reads: 'With lasso tool, I cut out oval shapes. The closer these cutouts are together, the skinnier the flame. Cut more for more sparce flames or less for bigger ones.'

Third part. This image shows edited flame shapes with the circled areas cut out. Text reads: 'Here are the rough shapes after cutting.'

Fourth part. Top image shows same shapes with slight differences. Some flames had more circular parts cut out and have been edited slightly. There were also scattered shapes added to mimic small flame details. Text underneath reads: 'Continue cutting away if you want to adjust something. I also add some back in the shapes to give it more interest.' Sketches underneath the text show various shapes that can be added to the larger flame shapes.

This is a neat tutorial. Tested to see if it works with pixel art, and it very much does! (with the usual adjustments needed). If the scale is small enough subbing in a round brush/eraser for the lasso tool part seems to work well. This is a really good technique! Thank you for sharing!
