Tutorial 5 : Step by Step

Basically in this tutorial, we want to create an effect of flames and smokes by using a few techniques.

1) Creating Flame brush

I created the flame brush by using lasso tool. Then applying some Gaussian Blur around 1.3 pixels to create the blurry effect on the flame. Then, I paint the Flame by using the paint brush.

2) Flame texture

Before creating the texture, I arranged the flame brush on the hand. Then to create the flame texture, I used render>clouds to create the flame effect.

This is how the flames looks like after applying the texture to the flames.

3) Creating realistic flames look

To create realistic look on the flames, I use the liquify technique on the edge of the flames.

4) Flames on the other hand

The flames on the other hand is created by copying the existing flames then flip the flames horizontally.

5) Smoke on the head

To create the smoke on the head, i use the lasso tool to draw the smoke shape. Then, i apply gaussian blur to create the blurry look. Next, I apply the render>clouds to make the smokes texture. Lastly, I change the layer blending mode to multiply mode to take only the black smoke.
