Forgive the length but I wanted to bundle these little guides and draw-alongs into a single video. Also, I posted a poll and you specifically asked for more tutorials. I just haven't done a long, step-by-step one like this in a while. Let me know what you'd like me to cover next.
Cant speak for everyone but I usually put vids like this on while drawing to practice or just have some inspiration and noise in the background so I welcome any longer vids honestly
I'm just starting it lol, I'm sure I'll love it. A little sad though cause I've been waiting for water from ya and for a sec I thought this was lava and was like CLOSE ENOUGH 🤣🤷♀️ Looks like I'm practicing fire today though lolol 🤷♀️
I’m interpreting the rolling to be some of the fire wanting to rise but the force of the fire behind it moving forward with such force that it sucks the fire back into itself.
Just what I needed, thank you! I can't seem to find a proper tutorial on drawing dragons though, something like on the cover of "Fizban's treasury of dragons", the kind that look like they have thick bones. So if you ever run out of ideas, would appreciate!
The timing on this is perfect, lol I was just going to go back and rewatch one of your stylized for some inspiration 😂. Time to get painting. 👍 appreciate these man.
Thank you! I always come back to your superb tutorials for guidance and inspiration. I sincerily hope one day there will be one of water as well, as I love how you explain your thought process during the videos. Much love :)
Oh one day! I need to just sit down and make a plan really. It might be easier for some to pick it up, but because it bends light and warps the environment, it can be very tough to explain
omg dude ive been following your tutorials for so long now and have made many paintings cus of it i cant thank you enough for making this video i was wondering when you'd do fire like this thank you
Can you do a tutorial on how to blend fire to a character? Like a dragon whose half of their body/face is on fire/silhouette and the other half is not while the middle is a mixed of the two. Thanks for your work, gamma!
Recently discovered your channel through your other fire tutorials. Then just yesterday I was looking at some fire magic type drawings online and now you post this 😂. Awesome timing, thanks. ( now get out of my head)
@Gammatrap atm nothin specific just enjoyin what you have out now and lookin foward to whatever comes next. The fire tutorials were honestly the main thing I was looking for right now cuz I wanted it for a current project.
Just discovered Glow Dodge on CSP recently myself and love it. Suggestion? Unique spells! I just did a blood ooze magic and have been curious to see more unique types. Maybe even the cool WoW warlock colors, for example.
I know you've done a tutorial on ice magic before, but could you do one on objects made of ice? Like making an ice sword or an ice wall or an ice slide a la Ice Man? IDK, I tried to apply your ice tutorial to something similar and it didn't quite work when I had to make the shape recognizable and recognizably icy.
Finally finished watching! Lol 🤣🤷♀️ Was it the color scarlet you were looking for? That's the pretty red orange lol And sorry for the water wanting comment earlier Gamma! 🤦♀️🤣🤷♀️ There are plenty of great water tutorials out there... but no one explains shtuff quite like you do 🤷♀️ It's just facts. Lol Still love how you post art sheet always when I'm looking for it. Done like 3 dragons for my man and have scrapped all of em and have decided to try to do your style for it, and low and behold you post a fire tutorial with the same fire breathing I need. Bless you sir 🙇♀️🎊👾
Game assets require completely transparent backgrounds, that means color blending doesn't look the same. You might've noticed the colors change after converting your layers to smart objects. How would you deal with that type of situation when you only have alpha and colors to play with?
In photoshop and procreate I would lasso or select the item, then copy canvas, which copies every pixel on every layer under the selection. Then I would make a new layer and paste the solid item. I have to do some digging on clip studio though
If you're wanting a solid asset you'll want to merge the layers. I would advise against any kind of bloom or glow that exceeds the edges of the asset so when everything is merged you don't have any fuzzy glowing from a blending mode that gets flattened and looses the effect. Before merging, apply it as a clipping mask to confine the effect to the bounds of the asset. If you want a bloom affect or shader in the game it would be best to add that in engine.
You switching to CSP for this guide brings up a question from me, should an artist learn to use both programs (CSP/Photoshop/or any other program for that matter)or is one just as good as the other? Love your tutorials!
They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but they share many of the strengths. So thankfully you aren't really tied to one app. You should try as many as you can. Many professionals often toss a file between multiple apps before finishing it

Oh I'll never run out of ideas, no worries
Well... Could maybe have a tutorial on this at some point anyway 👉👈

Omg Yes these.!! Definitely learn a Ton From these Your Video Tutorials.!!
Hope to see More do these Coming up.!! 👊😎

My pleasure bud!
Awesome! I really liked this longer in depth version of a tutorial! And yeah I would definitely enjoy a water tutorial ^^
Noted!
sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
i love your tutorials always so helpful.
I'm glad to hear that! I try my best!
Amazing! i started my photoshop journey with your videos and will add this to my playlist!
Hopefully it's been a fun journey so far!
@@Gammatrap Yes sir, your videos are an inspiration!
I really appreciate all your tutorials! Most either go hyperrealism or super cartoony, and your stylized in-between is perfect!
All the hot stuff in one video!
Soo good! Thank you for being so informative!
AMAZING THIS IS SO HELPFUL
Aaaaah thank you so mucj fot this!!
I don't have time to watch the video right now but i bet it's sick. Dropped a like regardless, keep it up!
Thank you for this tutorial. I think fire effects are in range of the hardest things in drawing. Thank you again, it will help me a lot!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!

Welcome aboard! Is there any other things you were wanting some help with?
@Gammatrap atm nothin specific just enjoyin what you have out now and lookin foward to whatever comes next. The fire tutorials were honestly the main thing I was looking for right now cuz I wanted it for a current project.
Magic which come from the wands of Wizards and Mages
dope!

Hi, Thanks for the great fire tutorials! Do you by chance have a video on making a character appear on fire? Thanks!
please make a smoky background tutorial
Finally finished watching! Lol 🤣🤷♀️
Was it the color scarlet you were looking for? That's the pretty red orange lol

If you don't wanna do water, maybe do a dragon tutorial? Lolol 🤣🤷♀️
I'm always glad to be of help! And a dragon tutorial might be easier than a water tutorial, that's for sure

@@Gammatrap My question was more about dealing with blending modes. Working in layers and separating them is the easy part.
If you're wanting a solid asset you'll want to merge the layers. I would advise against any kind of bloom or glow that exceeds the edges of the asset so when everything is merged you don't have any fuzzy glowing from a blending mode that gets flattened and looses the effect.

@@Gammatrap Yep, that's what I've been doing. Looks like there's no easy way around it.
Not that I've found, I'm afraid
