A better effects tutorial

[Beta]

Today we will be making Explosions and Fire.

The two necessities of male life.


EXPLOSIONS

The first part is the explosion, if you haven't noticed.

Step 1.

Make a small pointy object where your explosion is originating from.

Step 2.

Depending on how big your explosion is, this size will vary.
Make the starry shape how ever big you want but make it have a significant leap from the first frame.

Step 3.

Make a small half circle at the bottom of the explosion. Redraw the explosion as it was.

Step 4.

Increase the size of the circle more and more each frame. Redraw the explosion as it was and you can add the explosion disintegrating in other areas, depicted by small empty circles. Those can also expand.

Step 5.

Once you get to the tips or so you have spaces in between, don't bother drawing the circle again, just have the remaining tips.

Step 6.

Finish it off by having a pixel or 2 to show where the tip was. Then, delete the pixels the next frame.

YOU'RE DONE



Fire

The fire is the second part, which is fairly easy.


Step 1.

If you're not showing the fire starting, then just follow this. If you are, you're out of luck.

Draw a flame like shape, I'm sure you've seen one. With an outline of the flame on the inside, more like an inline.

Step 2.

Make the points of the flame come up a few (5-10) pixels and if you think there is enough room, start some more from the bottom.

Step 3.

Repeat step 2 until the desired length is done.


YOU'RE DONE









I hope you enjoyed it.

Eh.. it's better, but it's still not that good.

I really don't like your style. Too hard to tell what's going on. I'd have no idea what it was if you didn't tell me beforehand.

[montney12451]

it sucked..............paybacks a bitch huh caddie?

[NobodY]

Tis bunch of crapperloads, I think you guys should leave this more to the pros who play around with easytoons more, your styles are starters.

[trakr3]

Well i guess its good for nubs who have no idea what to do. but its not very good. thanks for the effort. we apretiate it.

[melith]

its ok

it sucked more then a friking vacum j.k I couldnt see the pictures ;(

[_slanted_]

the way tou explaned the particals was weird

[chezzy]

The explosions were good, but the fire was a bit pointy. Work on it.

[jackzon47]

I can't submit my easytoons?Why?

[vahmpy]

Wow thanks man. Really helped me.

[the hotness formerly known as mark]

Well im a noob so it helped me a lot. good job dude

[Tawnik]

[DragonDiva]

I can't submit my easytoons?Why?

Go make your own thread for your question don't ask them in other threads that aren't relevant to the question. ontopic it's a ok tut for noobs.

[edwardtrinh]

Well, no offence but this really sucked because well, the explosion didn't look like an explosion, it looked like when the sun comes up. I was hoping for an explosion like a gas grenade or something cloudy for more effect but hey, I like you style.

[blueguy910]

eh its okay but i wont use it................................................ ...............................................
EVER

[Gavel]

Yeah, we really care about whether or not you'll use a tutorial.

Stop trying to make yourself look cool.

[khalil cut air]

thanks. my explosions WERE all squiggles...but now they can be big. and flamey

[Beta]

holy shit, this is till here.
Eh, not so massive bump, smaller than the guy before me.

[Karoh]

well that explo was not bad, but the fire was way unrealistic, fire most likely has some sort of a flame tounges .. well u know, which are quite important for fire too :P ... also the flame should get bigger like "grow".. it should be sparky, like Big, small, Big, medium, big, small, medium... and so on :P

[Beta]

This is like a year and a half old bro.

[kixen2]

Good job
