Welp, this is me being naive and attempting fire with water color....
I do have to say, this turned out a LOT better than I thought it would, still not at all what I was thinking of, but I just have to say...bleach is my best friend. I would have botched the fire without it!
Yeah, we were supposed to do textures with wood and I was like, hey, lets set it on fire! Instead of my teacher telling my inner pyro to calm down, she said it was a great idea. So, I tried and I definitely learned from it, I can now actually do fire, well, atleast know what to do rather than do it haha. But yeah, after throwing in enough reds and browns and oranges and yellows, I just tooke bleach to it and, it may not look like much but it really looks a lot better haha. Yeah, sooo thats why I had to crop this... the top was just so...so bad. But, the bottom is...better.

Like, if its watercolor (which this indeed is watercolor) you paint something (like I used orange for the flames) and then you take a brush and dip it in bleach and nothing else and it sort of fades the color and such, so the yellow-y whitish parts of the fire were once orange but bleached to that color... its hard to explain unless you've used it before, but I guess its kinda like using magic markers...

THIS IS SO GOOD!!! I attempted coloring and inking fire on this pic I did. [link] The pencilings are by Lee Garbett. I think yours is way cooler though!!! It has a lot more detail. AND WITH WATER COLOR!!!! WOW!!! So impressive!!! Great work!

Thankyou! It was so hard to do, and I'm 100% certain that if I was to do it again, it would turn out a heck of a lot better, because honestly, I had no idea what I was doing form the very start haha. Thankyou! and you colored that? The fire seems pretty wicked to me!

You're welcome! hahaha you should do it again if you want to. Just for fun. Yeah I colored and inked it for practice. It was really fun. Even though it wasn't a very detailed piece. I'm glad you like it.
I inked a WHOLE bunch of drawings from other artists so that I could start a club/class at my school about coloring digitally on Photoshop. It never worked out though.

Dude, painting fire is sooo hard... haha, I regretted it immediately. I guess I didn't really think through the whole 'Im using watercolors thing" and, honestly, I've never winged something more in a long time. I had no clue what I was doing the entire time. One of those, oh its so easy! (blank stare...cold sweat....uh, w-what do I d-do again?) haha, but thankyou! And fire is just so cool...

Hey, winging it is what makes a good painting haha. If everything is super planned you're bound to hate and notice the mistakes more. Winging it is more...liberating? I don't know, I'm gonna shut up now 'cause I have no idea what I'm talking about
