You've probably seen many different types of realistic fire renderings, including the fire some in the kits we offer.

The Truth about making better Art!

What you need to improve the most.

Could your art be better? There are many things to consider when trying to improve your art skills. 

There's airbrush control, choosing a subject, composition, surface preparation, understanding the medium, proportions, edges, value and color, to name a few.

All are important, but one area overrides them all when it comes to importance....
