How to draw flames (part 2)
by Vince
If you want to learn how to draw flames you must understand that drawing flames is different from most things you have drawn so far and it's not an easy task.
In this case we are using three colors, yellow, orange and red to represent this phenomenon. So from now on the core of our flames will be yellow (white in the last drawing) while the intermediate layer will be orange and the outside of the flame will be red. You can use more colors if you like but I believe these are the bare minimum if you want to draw convincing flames.

Once you've outlined your flame and the three parts of it you just need to fill it up with color to finish your drawing. A couple of things to notice: first, the bottom of the flame is the hottest part and should be colored yellow or white; second, when you draw the flame try to work on the sinuosity of the curves. There aren't straight lines in a flames and all the curves connect flawlessly to each other.
Let's move now to a slightly more complicate design.
How to draw flames - slightly more complex

With this design we are going to learn how to add a small side flame to the main flame. The first thing you want to do is to draw a larger base for the flame. it really looks like a drop upside-down, doesn't it?
This is slightly more complex than the previous flame but really not that much. Be careful to draw sinuous lines and to create an uninterrupted flow between the tips of the flame.

Once you have drawn the main outline of the flame and you are happy with it, you need to draw the intermediate and small shapes inside. These, again, represent the different levels of heat within the flames.
