My custom made brushes are available for sale: GET THE BRUSH PACK HERE

1- Draw random lines with a basic brush with a lower flow and opacity. Make sure to pick a darker color depending on the fire you want to make.
2- Is the same step as 1, just a progression. Focus on making it look like flames.
3- Now you can add the lightest value color to the mix. Draw it with the same brush.
4- Now you can add the midtone value. The midtone in that yellow color we see in fire.
5- Smudge it and add motion blur effect.
6- Same, just a progression.
7- Itteration, take your time
8- Now you can use some custom made flame brushes (also available in my brushes pack check the link above).

Bonus tip: With in the blending modes of the brush, you can choose Linear Dodge (Add) to add glowing effects easily. The trick is to use a darker value, sketch your flames and then draw over it again and see how it gets lighter and lighter.

Alright, have fun!
