uhhhh hi i didnt wanna write shit in the actual file so heres some explanations
1) smooth shapes are the key to good flowy fire
2) erase some holes in it but try your best to make it flow
3) add sparks, there are more towards the base then the tip but they break off the tip as well so dont be sparing in your sparks
4) add a few spreads of color, theres more dark coloring then bright coloring though so keep this in mind
5) make another layer and make ur squiggles look something like a horde of bubbles
6) pray. also erase circles in the bg squiggles to make it look sharper
7) erase LIGHTLY, dont be afraid to erase 2 much though you can always go back, the glow will generally bring back the body so dont leave too much.
8) add the main, darker color light layer behind the flame
9 (optional but i like to do it) ) add some of the lighter color in front
10) bask in the fact that its done and pray you never have to draw that tedious shit again
