Reset your colors. Create a new document

Width: 300 Pixels
Height: 300 Pixels
Contents: Background Color

Step 2

Choose an orange for the foreground colour and red for the background colour

Step 3

Then create a new layer. Grab your polygonal lasso tool, and make a triangle at the bottom of the screen. Then use the clouds filter.

Step 4

Repeat step 3, one or two more times making the triangle different sizes.

Step 5

Now use the Shear filter

Undefined Areas: Repeat Edge Pixels

Move the black line the way you want the flames to curve

Step 6

Repeat step 5 with each layer you created.

Step 7

Select one of the two layers with the flames on them. Then use the Texturize filter

Texture: Burlap
Scaling: 126%
Relief: 2

Step 8

Repeat step 7 with the other layers with the flames(the other layers with the orange/red triangles).

Select one of your flame layers. Then open up the blending options. Then set next settings:

Use the same settings for the other flame layers you have.

Step 10

Now go to the liquify filter and grab the Turbulence tool. Once you've set up the brush size:

Brush Size: 73
Brush Pressure: 100
Turbulent Jitter: 70
The rest of the settings just leave them as they are.

bring the brush to the top portion of your flame, so that the brush covers the top tip of the flame and some of the main flame under it.

Then click and hold and you will see the tip of your flame slowly transform. Keep holding it until it looks like the tip of a flame. You may have to do this a few times to get the effect you want. If you want to start over just press the "Reconstruct" button.

Step 11

Repeat step 10 with all of your flame layers.

Step 12

Select one of your flames layer then use the Motion Blur filter

Repeat step 12 with your other flame layers.
