Okay, I'll try this! Trying to draw an out of control fire for a background and this could work.

This is probably the best tutorial I've ever read! Especially with the One Piece references and "personalization" (you made it sound like you were speaking).
Now I remember why I hate Akainu, and why sniffing markers are good for you.

At first I was like "Hehehe funny man.." but then I realized I had never thought of smoke as having different weights and thus different forms. I learned something today! With humor! O_O

It's not quite like "Zelda" smoke like in Windwaker...but it will do for now...

I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to laugh or cry at the sight of Ace with a hole in his chest and frothing blood.

Today I learned about Brownian motion. No thanks to three years of physics in high school...

"The best thing for anyone to do is to just keep trying until it doesn't look wrong any more". Is it wrong to admit that that's largely how I've learned to draw? (that, and loving watching animated stuffs. Heavy influences there. )

> The best thing for anyone to do is to just keep trying until it doesn't look wrong anymore.
That is the best art advice ever. I'm not even kidding. I had no idea how to answer someone when they asked me how I do things and now that is my answer. I'm keeping that.

l only asked this like 2 days ago not weeks. Don't make yourself look lazier than you actually are

our frames of reference clearly don't move at the same speed.

well, mine would have to go pretty fast in order for weeks to pass for others. since mine is barely moving at all but rather sitting in my comfy chair your point seems invalid.

WHY WOULD YOU USE DYING ACE AS YOUR EXAMPLE?! D8

*still crying* they always kill my favorite characters 
and i hate the lava dude so much
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ugh, tell me about! It's almost like they AIM to kill off the characters we adore the most!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know it sucks! But I actually think that killing Ace kind of gave the story more meaning
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't want to admit it, but I think that's true.
Still though, poor Ace!
