I get the question All of the time... What wood burning tips do I need??? I try to answer based on the thought that you only need the pens/tips that will help you create the wood burnings you want. Meaning one pen might do more for you then another. I tend to recommend 4 pens for overall general pyrography, meaning animals, portraits, landscapes, etc. Those are the Drawing With Fire Special set: 18M, 19M, 9m, and the 17Sr. In this 2 part series I want to show you how 1 pen can do many things . we will look at the 24 Optima pens I currently have. ---???

Ok take 2! This is a speed video of my live showing how to do gradients and whether or not to outline your subjects. If you are feeling frustrated that your pyrography doesn't have the realism you want and you outline...this may be the reason. I show how you can use negative burning, gradients and pen control to get closer to your wood burning goals. Not all outlining in wood burning is bad, so we need to look at the differences. I burned this on birch that I purchased from Michael's. It is in the model section not the wood section. I start with the colwood flat round shader and move onto the Walnut Hollow versatool for the rest of the video. *** PROMO CODE: VAL *** "Purchase any woodburner system (Colwood, Nibsburner, Burnmaster) and get FREE our woodburner's strop (no. 5022) and abrasive (no.1224) a $12.95 value.

Today tiger eyes & fur! Our friend Troy decided that he wanted to jump right in on a hard subject for beginners... so we are. ? So, for this small 6x4 burning I am supporting Troy as he works he way through all of this fur. I will be doing my own tiger and discussing the different aspects of fur. Mine also has a bit of water in it.
