Put a Fireball in Someone's Hands

Fire Dragon Photoshop Tutorial

After my laptop went down, I had to spend some time looking for new wallpaper and discovered Photoshop Master Vlad Gerasimov's excellent site Vladstudio.com. His art is compelling and fun, but what makes his site especially good is how he provides Photoshop tutorials for some of his work. The only down side is that his tutorials are text based, not videos.

I think you might enjoy his fire dragon tutorial. It's pretty advanced, but he writes his tutorials well. Check out the fire dragon wallpaper here, then if you want to try your hand at recreating it, click here.

Thanks for the great tutorials, Vlad!
