Description Here you guys go! Lemme know if you have any questions

- I use Adobe Photoshop, but you should be able to apply this technique to other programs.
- I use a tablet, but with effort and patience, the same result can be approximated with a mouse.
- Can be done on a single layer, or many.
- Can be done using only three colours.
- Does not require special brushes.

even if it didn't turn out nearly as awesome as your's, it still looked like fire! Thanks, I would of never been able to do this on my own.

ShadowofLatentMinds In reply to jocarra [2010-09-21 03:52:45 +0000 UTC]

Sure!

It's not really DA worthy, but I defiantly will use the technique later. Like on some bad ass character, or battle, or something of that sort.

Also I did start with a black background layer, but I changed it to white to see what it looked like, and it looked pretty awesome.

Thanks again!

wow! your fires really do pop out alot! excellent colors but that's to be expected cause you're darn awesome.

hey um, what is low flow? is that opacity, or size..?

jocarra In reply to starrelly-chan [2010-09-21 01:07:02 +0000 UTC]

Heh, thank you very much

Flow is how fast the colour comes out and becomes opaque, like an airbrush.
