    Hi everyone!! Here's my drawing of Fire! I really hope this tutorial is helpful. It's such a fun and relaxing way to draw and I highly recommend giving it a try. Let me know what you think! And be sure to let me know if you have any suggestions for future art videos I could work on.
    Thank you so much for the continued awesome support! Hope you're having a great day. :)

      Chris, if you look closely, it looks like you drew a woman in the flames, with her face sorta looking up, her hair crazy flames, the ribbons of flames giving shape to a female body with a Kim Kardashian booty. Lol.
      You just didn't add detail facial features.
      Arms are ribbon flames too...

    The best "still life" of fire I've ever seen! Your work with varying tones is always brilliant--one almost cannot believe the fire will register as "bright" enough until you add the background, at which point the contrast jumps off the page, and the fire itself seems to glow. There is marked growth in this graphite piece, which is not surprising. You tend not to repeat yourself (which so many RUclipsr Creators do), and that seems key. The central vortex is subtle, but visible, which lends an even more realistic touch to this piece. Kudos, Christopher!

      Thank you so much, Gabe!! :) I'm really glad I finally gave this drawing a try! Drawing fire always seemed intimidating until I recently started practicing a couple of techniques that I'd been imagining. I've been looking forward to sharing the process! Thanks again! Hope you're having a lovely day over there!

I find that simpler lines that all gradually flow upwards works for me. Again you definitely have a talent. Would love to show you my flames one day.

    - For a Fan Art video, I think trying to draw AL-AN from Subnautica : Below Zero would be quite challenging and enjoyable.
    - And since you like dragons (wich is understandable), why not try some sort of Time Dragon ? I would say that this could be quite cool !
    That's all I wanted to say, so again, congratulations and thank you, feel free to consider or not these two ideas, and see you soon !

      Hi! :) In those moments I try to take a step back from drawing and spend a bit of time enjoying other creative interests that'll hopefully inspire me to draw. This year photography has helped me in this way. If I try to force myself to draw when I'm already frustrated with it, it never works. It helps me if I take a step back and refresh, even for an hour or two. It can also help if you don't put too much pressure on yourself. Try working on and completing small projects and then build up to larger projects. Hope this is helpful!
