One of my FAVORITE woodburning tutorials. I love how youre really keeping most of it in realtime to give us an in-depth perspective on how this actually works. I hate it when people cut out those vital pieces forcing us to figure it out on our own through trial and error, ultimately defeating the purpose of the tutorial. Love the anime picture you chose. You're really one of the first anime woodburners Ive ever had the pleasure of seeing on youtube. Thank you for posting this. Personally, this tutorial really helped me alot. ☺👍👏😌
Glad you liked it. Wood burning has a really steep learning curve even if you are a good artist. Mostly because if you mess out there is very little you can do to fix it. Thanks for watching hopefully I'll have more coming on this subject.
I was browsing through pyrography tutorials and got to yours, saw Erza and thought to myself, "Yep, this is the guy I want to learn from." Anime geek solidarity!!! *bro fist*
I know this was 3 years ago, I wanted to tell you something. Excellent job. Don't down play how hard it is. If someone thinks they can do it because it's easy, then they can do a video. It's hard work, you have to be talented and have a good eye for comp.
Awesome work man. Really great stuff. This is the first tutorial that has helped me in what I want to do this for. I'd like to customize some ax and hatchet handles and some wooden knife scales with pyrography. It's proving to be difficult since none of those are flat surfaces, but the methods used in this video I think will help a great deal. Thank you sir.
I do woodburning also and I Love it I've been doing it for about 4 yrs now and I learned it from a friend of mine but I would like to learn more any tips are welcome.
Sycamore is a good one to use and is relatively soft so you can run the pen at a colder temperature and get the same effect as a hot pen on cheaper woods. The one consequence is because the pen is running colder, each blade/wire will last a bit longer. Dark wood, although yes it can be difficult to burn and see the results can provide an atmospheric effect to certain pictures. Although I will say, I have been doing pyrography (proffesionally ?) for 5 years and I still have so much to learn.
I am fixing to burn my first piece. I am doing the cowboy and his horse kneeling at the cross.. Needed some pointers and your video was great Thank you
Great job, I really learned a lot, to heck with who thinks it is just tracing. Tracing requires a steady hand, but you managed to create 3 dimensional effects.
Great tutorial and very help full. I appreciate that you take the time to explain what you are doing and how it should be done. I learn't allot from just watching the way you work the tool. Thank's
Great work!I noticed you said "how it's sometimes hard to do the eyes with the tool sometimes with the curves". As an artist with just drawing and interested in pyrography. If you just keep the paper stationary in one position it's hard to get the curves of any line just in drawing. The same applies to any canvas. It helps to move the wood to get the curves and lines you want to achieve. If you are trying to keep the canvas stationary for camera view then move your body, your curved lines will come out smoother and more natural... I am sure you know this but it's a nice tip for beginners in any art form. Hope it helps. Thanks for a great tutorial by the way!
DeadlyDemeiter Actually the eyes are much easier to do with a different type of tip/pen. 😆 It is easier not using a craft/hobby burner like the one in the video. I recommend nibsburner, burnmaster eagle, and razor tip. Granted these are a worthy investment if you continue to burn. I love all three of mine and I have had my nibsburner for 10 years.
thank you for this video it really helps and I really enjoyed watching you do it and this is my first time watching you and I thought you were great and I give you a great big👍👍👍👍👍 I hope you have a good one ❤😊
Timothy Nevins go to lowes and buy a 1X6 piece of popular it will come in a 8ft piece. It will be better than anything you've tried. Most hobby shops don't have what you really need. Good luck it is a lot of fun.
Also I find Basswood to be the best to burn on. I don't think you mentioned that wood. It's super light, even toned, smooth and soft. Makes for the best pieces:) Also if purchasing wood you can get some gorgeous pieces with a natural bark border.
I didn't mention it only because I have never burned any of it. I have heard that it does really well, but I didn't want to say something I have never tried.
I'm new at wood burning i was wondering what kind of paper you are tracing that onto the wood i such at free handing i love your video's just subscribed thanks for sharing
YAY ERZA!!I am planning on doing something like this for my book chat. I was thinking of burning the Fairy Tail symbol (doing Fairy Tail for book chat) and this Erza tho... so majestic
+Hatsune Miku Go for it. It is not as hard as it looks taking your time is the biggest part. Let me know if you want to see a different anime character burned (Or anything for that matter) always glad to help. Good luck on your project.
+Michael Kotapish I've never burned bamboo before. I've worked with it, and it is very similar to wood, so I would say that it acts like wood. I do know there is a good bit of oil in bamboo, so that may hurt you a little on finishing the piece. If you have a scrap piece try it on it first, and see if you like it. Other than that I'm sure it will burn just fine.
Hi, this is lovely. I am attempting my first project which is a walking stick for my grandson. Please tell me which tip you used for the outline. Thanks
If you add any kind of stain (even if it is lighter than the wood your using) it will make it darker. Look at it like paint. You start with white, and if you add anything it will make it darker no matter what.
Well what type of finish you pick has a LOT to do with what the outcome will look like. I've got a video on that to help with what to do. th-cam.com/video/y8Tei3-MuG0/w-d-xo.html
i think i need to see about the Colwood, i have just had the peter child given to me, but you have to make your own nibs which i do not like, prefer ready made.. When i see others online with a cheap models, they make it look easy with no problems. Thanks for the reply
Its funny that you picked Erza , because if you think about Fairy Tale it's all about comrades and comradery and here you are sharing your knowledge I think that's pretty kool . WWG1WGA!
In my humble opinion, artists create. If that means tracing another's work so u can do embossing techniques, or hammer tiny nails 2 do string art or burn wood that includes color, shading, light effect, etc... Then so be it. Don't let anyone tell u that did not create a beautiful burning effect on this piece cuz it'd b a lie! Thank u 4 the advice & suggestions. 💞
Outstanding & well done,can i ask what about bas-wood i believe that is its name where you are & where i am we call it Lime wood,can that be burnt well because i did a carving of a heart bowl for my sons girlfriend & she wants initials on it this is why i watched your entertaining video thank you.
i was online all day looking for a new burner ,got burned out,lol,went to rest by looking at some youtube,what type of burner do you use if you dont mind my asking,the reviews on some of them are not so good,
+Stella Wells www.rockler.com/10-in-1-woodburning-kit This is a good tool it is the one I used in the video. Most people think you need variable temperature for the tool to be good. That's not true. Most of the time your going to be burning 100% of all the tool can do. Its got good tool tips, and not a bad price. That's my 2 cents thanks for the comment.
Stella Wells Actually it depends on what type of burning you want to do. I never burn at 100%! Granted, I am a different type of burner. I personally prefer a variable burner. It is all in your preference. 😉
hey, I've just subscribed to you. I was wondering... Are there a lot of pencil marks left over after you finish burning? For example, do you have to go over it with an eraser? If you want to be perfect? thank you.

I’ve watched so many videos trying to find something that really helped me understand better with the burner I have. Thank you!
I was browsing through pyrography tutorials and got to yours, saw Erza and thought to myself, "Yep, this is the guy I want to learn from." Anime geek solidarity!!! *bro fist*
Bro fist back.
It happened to me the same thing I'm fairy tail fan and when I saw erza i had the same reaction
+Toby Sullivan
LMFAO, same here! X'D
haha indeed
Toby Sullivan i saw erza 2 becuase fairy tale is my favorite anime series
Hell yeah, I was already hooked but then he hits us with "Animation" this is fantastic!
This is, hands down, one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life! Thank you for taking the time to show us how you woodburn. :)
Angry Pariah wow glad you liked it.
Angry Pariah ; then you need to get out more😂
I'm not a fan of wood work but when i saw ERZA i watched the full video, Kudos man... keep it up and can you make NATSU as well...
Francis A Thanks man sure thing man.
Francis A why are you capitalizing their names?
Callum Brennan it's just to highlight it duh!
I know this was 3 years ago, I wanted to tell you something. Excellent job. Don't down play how hard it is. If someone thinks they can do it because it's easy, then they can do a video. It's hard work, you have to be talented and have a good eye for comp.
I really been wanting to do this for awhile now and you just inspired me to go out and get a kit. You did an awesome job!
Great video brother....just getting started in the wood burning myself but I've always done one form of art or another. Thanks for the video
Couldn't decide if I wanted to watch fairy tail or watch art videos tonight, guess I have the best of both worlds! Nice work!
Haha funny how that works out.
Once I've saw Erza Scarlet. I'd basically instantly subscribed, and the video is really informative as well.
Keep up the content.
Thanks man hope to do Kirito, and Asuna from SAO next week.
Awesome work man. Really great stuff. This is the first tutorial that has helped me in what I want to do this for.

It's proving to be difficult since none of those are flat surfaces, but the methods used in this video I think will help a great deal. Thank you sir.
+1 for using Erza Scarlet for your model!
Thanks for the tutorial!
this is the most helpful video I've seen. thank you
Glad you liked it.
Great video. SImple and clear, and of course, easy to see what you were doing.
I just started yesterday and im using pine and noticed right away the hard and soft spots thanks for the tips dude
You make this look easy, good job.
Super cool, nice work, and keep it up.... this also looks super fun, and super difficult.... you make it look much easier than I'm sure it really is!
Gotta love Erza Scarlet, perfect model for anything
Well done. Thanks for the tips, they were very helpful. Pic looks great!
Because of you, I've just bought a bunch of carbon paper, to help with my woodburning journey :-D Thanks! lol
Love the video

+Thomas jaXon Thank you that means a lot. Give it a try it is easier than it looks.
First time i watch your videos . Loved this one. I will attempt to do wood burning!
bro fist too, well done. You have a great presentation. Good job.
Super awesome . I didn't know your an artist too.
Very impressive. You are an amazing artist.
Thank you for all of these great tips!
Great tutorial and very help full. I appreciate that you take the time to explain what you are doing and how it should be done. I learn't allot from just watching the way you work the tool. Thank's

Aye I do move the wood when I can. Like you said for the video I didn't move it so ya'll could see everything. Thanks for watching.

+Lost Boy (Wendy) Thank you. I wish you best of luck.
Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it!
+Castle Of Perserverance Your welcome.
yep I got hand it to you man
there two things that I love
one is working on anything and 2 anime you nailed it on the picture good job and the backhoe
Thanks man. Aye me too lol. Funny how two things that don't go together do haha. Thanks again.
Classic Work I know right haha
Great job, nice and slow and watch it grow.. Keep up the burn.
You got some steady hands brother.
Thanks have a lot of practice.
Whats the black sheet of paper called?
my question is where you get the wood you say to burn on I buy wood from craft stores with the bark on them and do good on
Timothy Nevins go to lowes and buy a 1X6 piece of popular it will come in a 8ft piece. It will be better than anything you've tried. Most hobby shops don't have what you really need. Good luck it is a lot of fun.
Also I find Basswood to be the best to burn on. I don't think you mentioned that wood. It's super light, even toned, smooth and soft. Makes for the best pieces:) Also if purchasing wood you can get some gorgeous pieces with a natural bark border.
I didn't mention it only because I have never burned any of it. I have heard that it does really well, but I didn't want to say something I have never tried.
Ah I see, well if you ever come across it it's excellent wood to burn on:)
How does cedar work for burning
if you use pine wood from a craft store like Michaels would that make any difference? my friend wants me to do 4 name plates for her.
+stacey cresswell That pine is a better quality, but it is still pine it will be harder than other woods.
Ahh, this brings so many memories from school :)
any advice on burning olive wood? is slightly light brown. but not light light would.
Olive wood is a good choice just stay away from the heart wood might be hard to burn.
I have a hard time getting a good solid line across the grain. Maybe my wood burner doesn't get hot enough or my wood isn't sanded enough. Idk
would this work on a 4x8 slab of plywood from homedepot?
would an aircraft schematic outline be a good project for a beginner?
+Silas Kuemmerle Oh yeah that sounds like a great one anyway.
that's what I thought, because they do not need shading, but you can add it (also they are all lines)
+Silas Kuemmerle Right give it a shot let me know how it comes out.
Fairy Tail!!!!
I'm new at wood burning i was wondering what kind of paper you are tracing that onto the wood i such at free handing i love your video's just subscribed thanks for sharing
+Kyle Robertson Carbon paper is what I used to transfer the picture.
Classic Work I find that regular carbon paper sometimes smears, and is pretty hard to get rid of. I now use graphite paper, and it erases very well.
YAY ERZA!!I am planning on doing something like this for my book chat. I was thinking of burning the Fairy Tail symbol (doing Fairy Tail for book chat) and this Erza tho... so majestic
+Hatsune Miku Go for it. It is not as hard as it looks taking your time is the biggest part. Let me know if you want to see a different anime character burned (Or anything for that matter) always glad to help. Good luck on your project.
^o^
thank chu
Excuse me what are the different wood burning tips you used for the lines and the shading
Is it the same tip throughout the project
Thanks!
I did use two different tips, but they were almost the same. One tip would have been plenty.
Is bamboo good to burn? Say I had a bamboo longboard and I wanted to burn a sketch I drew into it, would that be okay to do?
+Michael Kotapish I've never burned bamboo before. I've worked with it, and it is very similar to wood, so I would say that it acts like wood. I do know there is a good bit of oil in bamboo, so that may hurt you a little on finishing the piece. If you have a scrap piece try it on it first, and see if you like it. Other than that I'm sure it will burn just fine.
a great work and good teaching ,thanks!
Hi, this is lovely. I am attempting my first project which is a walking stick for my grandson. Please tell me which tip you used for the outline. Thanks
It was the Standard tip. Straight 30° taper.
Beautiful Detailed work nice, thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I've got a new one coming up.
And what can of paper you use
where do you get these woods you are talking about
You can cut them yourself from native trees, some box stores carry some hard woods, or order them online.
Is cedar a good wood? I am just learning how to wood burn.
+Elizabeth Davis I wouldn't recommend it. Cedar burns well, but it is a little to soft.
is that Regular Carbon paper like you use in the office.? Or is that the Graphite type that is used for transfering images onto wood.?
It was the graphite type. I said carbon because I didn't know there was a different type.
What if you stain the dark wood a lighter color. Would you see what you are making?
If you add any kind of stain (even if it is lighter than the wood your using) it will make it darker. Look at it like paint. You start with white, and if you add anything it will make it darker no matter what.
Nice work i plan on starting wood burning as a hobby
It is a good one.
If i were to wood burn and coat it with epoxy, do I need to do anything specific to make sure nothing wrong happens to the wood burning design?
Well what type of finish you pick has a LOT to do with what the outcome will look like. I've got a video on that to help with what to do. th-cam.com/video/y8Tei3-MuG0/w-d-xo.html
Where did you get your pictures from
have you worked with bamboo? does it work very well? looking in doing a cutting board that is bamboo.
I need to try it again, but years ago I did burn some bamboo and it did ok, but it does have a lot of oil in it, so finish might look bad.
Once you do that can you sell it?
which brand of wood burner are you using. cant seem to get one i can get on with, tried and Antex and a Dremel?
Look in the description to find the tool I used it is not the best, but I like it.
Pat McKenzie What type of burner are you looking for?
i think i need to see about the Colwood, i have just had the peter child given to me, but you have to make your own nibs which i do not like, prefer ready made.. When i see others online with a cheap models, they make it look easy with no problems. Thanks for the reply
what tip do you recommend using when outlining?
do you use the same woodburning tip for the whole picture?
Most of the time.
Is that the best tip to use for dark big shading ?
Flat tips do better for dark shading. They have more heat concentration.
Would sassafras end grain be OK to burn?
Hey, I like your video... It is really clear and helps. Thanks
what must i use for machine plz
What type of wood you used ....
Please telll...
nakshatra sharma popular
Sorry, new to this. Is that the same as a soldering gun? Maybe with just a specific tip? Thanks!
Alan Byam yep pretty much.
what kind of wood are you using in this ?
It doesn’t look like your pressing very hard, is that the case? Great video
I LOVE ERZA SCARLET, MOST BUETIFUL THING I HAVE LAID ON EYES ON.
Its funny that you picked Erza , because if you think about Fairy Tale it's all about comrades and comradery and here you are sharing your knowledge I think that's pretty kool . WWG1WGA!
please tell me what tool you are using. and watts?
Just a rockler wood burning tool. 800 Watts I do believe.
What do you think of Dremel Versatip?
Do you recommend pushing the styllis toward or away from you?
Whatever way you can get at it. I push a lot more than pull, but it depends on the piece.
what wood are you using? great job
Popular. Thanks.
In my humble opinion, artists create. If that means tracing another's work so u can do embossing techniques, or hammer tiny nails 2 do string art or burn wood that includes color, shading, light effect, etc... Then so be it.

Can anyone send me a link about the picture i didnt find this just others
What type of woodburning pen are you using?
What is that tool your using?
What a talent, what is the name of that wood thank I had fun watching you burn that pic.
Poplar.
hey, I've just subscribed to you. I was wondering... Are there a lot of pencil marks left over after you finish burning? For example, do you have to go over it with an eraser? If you want to be perfect? thank you.
You can’t really erase them with the carbon paper unless it is a pencil mark but you can lightly sand them off.
@@EEJester1586 apprecia
te it thanks
I was looking for a timelapse just to watch while i drew but i saw erza and decided to watch the whole video c:
could you use spruce?
+Malcolm Campbell Yes, but it is a lot like pine. Knots, and hard spots, but it does burn fairly well.
What type of tip are you using?
+Weston Hermann Chisel tip with a 30 degree rake.
YES!! ERSA SCARLET!! omg I LOVE Fairy Tail!!!!!!! This anime rocks!!♡♡♡♡♡♡
Glad you liked it.
shouldn't you pull the pen instead of pushing it into the line? like tattooing?
What brand do you have for your wood burning kit?
+Chris Shern www.rockler.com/10-in-1-woodburning-kit
So do u use carbon paper or graphite paper?
Crystal Miller graphite paper.
very nice, great job
good work man, thanks it helped!
where do you get wood to use or do you cut your own?
Most is store bought. (Lowe's, lumber yard ect...) I do cut some of my own as well.
