How to Draw Fire

[@LethalChris1]

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

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...

[@g.allencook1051]

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 KZbinr 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!

[@LethalChris1]

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!

[@maxdetwiler9770]

Thank you chris. My dad is a tattoo artist and when he was in my life as a kid I used to linger over his shoulder when he would draw and I always found it fascinating. He left and 10 years down the road when I met with him he didnt want to show me anything or help me out. But you have, thank you

[@ingridkrauskopf4341]

I love how you are making your methods so accessible to us newbie artists. I really appreciate all the small details of the how tos, and am really amped to get started on graphite drawings again!

[@whispro4646]

very helpful for a fantasy project i’m working on

[@LethalChris1]

Awesome!! Really glad to hear that. :) Thank you for the support!

[@cocopop183]

You make it so freaking easy to get better at drawing. I remember my first day of art class in freshman year of high school compared to my third day. Literally watched 2 of your videos and became good lol cant wait for it to happen again cause of this one, LOVE the work!

[@LethalChris1]

That's amazing! Really happy to hear that the videos have helped. I hope this one helps too! :) Thank you so much for the support!

[@juliestevenson]

Love this, a great example of getting the lights and darks balanced.

[@justadel2]

Very helpful i was having a bit of trouble with my fire

[@leneecasteel2005]

WOW!! Chris, I am constantly amazed by your artwork. Thank you so much for sharing your "how-to" videos. I learn so much from them, and I don't consider myself a slouch when it comes to drawing, but no way am I on your level. I stick to black and white drawings, but I even appreciate your color art. Again, thank you and I hope you are taking care of yourself.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the support, Lenee! I really appreciate the kind words. And it truly means a lot to hear that you find the videos helpful. I really hope this one helps too! Have a great day!!

@@LethalChris1 thank you so much for replying, I love your videos so much 🥰

[@FiliaStellae]

thanks for showing us your techniques for drawing fire 😃. I always struggle when drawing/painting fire. Like water it's just such a dynamic, complex thing. I'll definitely reference your tips the next time I draw fire

[@davidlowton9359]

Absolutely remarkable piece. You’re a natural artist and teacher. 😊👍

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much!!!! :)

[@GracefullyArtistic01]

Wow such an incredible technique! This looks so amazing!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much!!! :)

[@DanMirkz]

It's been so long since I've drawn anything.. Wish I could get back into it like I used to be. Love your videos, they remind me how peaceful, relaxing and rewarding drawing can be.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you for the kind words! :) I understand that feeling and I'm wishing you support! I recommend starting off small and not putting too much pressure on yourself. Hope you have a great day!

Another amazing tutorial, thank you. I can’t WAIT to see your Inktober this year!! I’m in a year in school where there are more opportunities than exams, so I will hopefully have time to properly try Inktober this year myself!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much!! I really hope the video helps out. Yay! Inktober! Glad to hear you'll hopefully have more time for the challenge. I'm looking forward to it too. Preparing the sketchbook and supplies!

[@airbjerk8413]

This is by far one of the best drawings you've done. Wondering if these techniques could work with color pencils

[@Landoniskindacool]

ps i love your dragon vids

[@Reznard114]

Hey first like 👍🏻 thanks for the advice I never thought of thinking like that that you create you’re own shapes abs highlights

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much! I really hope this tutorial helps out! :)

[@Drawnomix]

This fire is 🔥🔥🔥… nice

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you!!! :)

[@sixmercer2504]

Thus is brilliant! I never thought of drawing fire with graphite! It looks incredible and I can't wait to try it!

[@shaash5236]

At the end there’s a figure in the middle, as if it were the queen of fire

[@brodeyleembruggen9910]

This artistic traditional work is satisfactorally lovely my cup of tea☕

[@mohammedsakib2600]

Truth or dairy if you pick dairy I dairy you to draw a lava dragon with water colour if you pick truth the truth is what you're favorite drawing

[@ashlynpather9411]

Another great drawing 👏. Keep up the good work 👍.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Ashlyn! :)

[@jaromir_kovar]

Hello Chris, this is amazing. Good tips and advice plus the result is so satisfying. I can't NOT see a head made of fire in your drawing. Which brings me to a suggestion. Could you draw elemental figures? Not necessarily humanoid but made of their respective elements. Thank you for your kind approach and work!

[@LethalChris1]

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words and support. :) I really hope the video is useful! Haha that's awesome! A few people have mentioned seeing a head and a figure inside this drawing which is so interesting. It definitely wasn't intended, but I love that people are seeing it. That's a great drawing suggestion! Thank you again!

Great work on sketching

[@shivajoshi9068]

Hi... What do you do when you have a art block...?

[@LethalChris1]

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!

[@shivajoshi9068]

@@LethalChris1 Thank you so much! This was really helpful.... And I'll be following similar steps as well...

Very nicely done, Chris.

[@badgerno190]

A colour version of fire would be awesome aswell

[@jasonshannon]

First. Great video ! 👍🏾.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you! :)

[@craker213]

Love the shading! Shading has always come naturally to me, and I take advantage of my skill for depth as you. To me this doesn't look like flames though. The overall shape doesn't look natural. 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.

[@connerwilcox6369]

I really like how it almost has a glow effect. Nice work:)

[@marquezjeffers7171]

Fire is my favorite element. So awesome! 😁🤟

[@itslinslife]

Wow, thats awesome..you should do with color pencil too.

[@thaddeusgigachaddeus2954]

I've been watching your videos for years, and honestly, how are you not at a million subs? You deserve way more popularity. A lot of the stuff I learned for my own drawings came from you, so thanks for making these videos!

Perfect timing! I'm working on a phoenix drawing and needed something for the background lol. Also, have you ever thought of doing a jewel phoenix, like how you did the jewel dragon? That could be interesting. Love your channel, btw!

Do you have any drawings of crepuscular clouds with sun rays?

[@viktor1842]

Wow ! That looks wild ! Congrats ! I think this will help a lot of us ! Thanks ! Also, I have a couple of suggestions for videos : - 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 !

[@MayanksArtWorld]

Wow amazing

[@Desoda_is_my_name_or_something]
