Hi, I'm Jazzykaywings!

and today I will show you how to draw a flame on Clip Studio Pain! My way, of course!

I will show you as best as I can how I proceed step by step! Let's go!

1st step

First you take the lasso tool and draw the shape of the fire and then fill it with the color orange with the fill bucket!

This is how it looks then!:

2nd step

Then create a new layer by going to [New Grid Layer] and make sure it is above the 'Main Flame' layer

Now you take a yellow color and repeat the first step. Then use very light yellow in the same layer and there we have our shape!

3rd step

Now that we have the shape, it's time to blend!

To do this, simply use the blur filter!

 

Then fades including the exterior of the flame. It should then look like this:

 

4th step

OK, let's move on!

Now you place a glow behind the flame!

 

Duplicate the layer with the 'main flame' by clicking on it and a window will appear!

then set the duplicated layer to the 'Add' light mode and put it under the main layer!

now go to [Filter] -> Blur > Gaussian Blur and set it to at least 180

5th step

You will add some sparks to this step so that the fire looks even more shaped

 

To do this, you create a new layer and draw in the sparks with a brush that you want to use!

 

when you have that duplicate the layer, set the duplicated layer to [Lock Transparent Pixels] and color the layer red with the fill bucket, remember to put the layer below the original!

 

Once you've done that and used the Gaussian blur again, you should have this result:

6th step

You can't see the glow you've set so well in the white, so it's best to put a brownish background on a new layer, something like this:

Now we're going to add some 'depth' to the flame.

Put a new layer over the flame again and click on the clipping mask:

take an airbrush, increase the brush size and decrease the brush density:

now paint into the main flame with a dark red

this is what it looks like!

Finally, go to the Core Flames layer and set the Light Mode to [Negative Multiply] to make them shine bright too!

You hardly recognize it but it is there!

7th step

All right, almost there

We just have to add a few details!

Final spurt!

 

puts all layers in one folder, it will be important later!

then we give the flame a little more blur so that it has a moving effect. You have to set the motion blur filter to at least 56 for the individual layers.

Here you have the moving effect!

8th step

Now for the last step:

 

put a New Layer at the top and set the mode to [Add]!

take the airbrush again and a yellowish color and paint the flame below to make it stand out more!

And there we have it! Now all you have to do is merge all the layers together:

Now that you've finished putting everything together, we're going to liquify the flame using the Liquify tool!

Experiment a bit with the tool and apply the brush in such a way that the flames look authentic in the end!

And here is the bottom line!

Tada!!

This was my way how to draw a flame using Clip Studio Paint!

I hope you liked it and I could help you further!

 

See you soon!
