Core Skills: Part 4 - SPICE UP YOUR ART IN FLAME PAINTER

In the previous issue I covered the various particle brushes on offer in Flame Painter. This month’s instalment will take you through the stages of spicing up your artwork using a handful of these versatile brushes. I’ll be explaining how you can properly execute an effect and blending options, which you can use on elements in your fantasy and sci-fi compositions, to make them pop.

Flame Painter is a standalone paint and particle effects package that makes it possible for you to create original artworks, light effects or unconventional designs. I see it as a great source of inspiration for artists because it broadens the possibilities of digital painting and enhances designs with captivating, life-like organic brushes. With only a few clicks you can generate a cloudy sky, campfire, forest, snow, rain, various plants and much more. There’s also a variety of lighting and optical effects that you can take advantage of, enabling you to change the atmosphere of your artworks.
