Draw flames (part 2)

by Vincenzo

 

Once you are done with the general shape you can start sketching in the principal tongues of the flames.

 

 

I have decided this flame is going to have three major tongues, as you can see. I will add detail later.

From this point on you can start adding smaller, lateral tongues to the main ones. I will explain you later how to create nice side-tongues for the flame but for now bare with me and the overall process.

 

Draw flames - finilizing your drawing

You can keep going adding detail to the flame tongues until you get a shape that convinces you. Like the one that I have drawn in the panel above.

 

Well the good news is that the difficult part is finished here! From now on you just apply the principles explained in the basic tutorial How to draw flames and you should be able to get to the final result easily.

 

Let's see the intermediate steps though.

Draw the internal layers representing the different temperatures within the flame and remember to follow loosely the profile of the main flame.

 

Once you have the internal layer drawn you just color them and you re almost done!
