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.

Wow! This is amazing! I love the finished fire sooo much! And it looks so easy to make!
Thanks for sharing!

It is pretty easy when you go step-by-step and break it down instead of trying to do it all at once. Also, scribbling is inherently easy to do, just need to get the hang of how to make it look like you want it to!
Very welcome

Wow, that looks awesome. Make it look so easy too!

Hopefully most people -will- find it easy! The idea is simple, just scribbling, but it seems there's a bit of an art to it :b

I'll let you know when I get a chance to try it out! I'm on the lookout for a tablet now so I can start getting into digital drawings because touchpads are rediculous. Any suggestions?

Definitely something Wacom. If you're serious but on a budget, go for an Intuos ($200-800). If you have tons of money to blow ($1000-2000), go for a Cintiq. I've had a small Intuos 2 tablet for probably over 6 years, and it's still going strong - I'd like a bigger one, but it functions just fine.

I'm glad! I'm used to using photo references for fire, but it seems this general technique works quite well.

Um... I have my photoshop in another language, and I donΒ΄t know which one "color" dogde is :s
π: 0 β©: 1
Depending on what version you have...
It's in this section:
Lighten
Screen
Colour Dodge <-------------
Linear Dodge (Add)
Lighter Colour
So in the section that makes colours lighter/brighter, it's the middle one. If that doesn't help, try using a translator? --> [link]

Photoshop CS3 :S Oh and Photoshop Element 6.0 - came with the computer.

thank you so much , it's a great tutorial , could you tell me please what brushes you used for it ?? if you don't mind
π: 0 β©: 1
No special brushes were used, as listed in the description, and no smudging/blurring tools. I used a "Soft Round" brush, which is a default brush, found near the top in the default brush list. I didn't list the size, as it depends on how big your canvas is, but for the tutorial, I used a 35-100 pixel one for "large" and 9-21 pixel one for the "small."
