Photoshop Man Of Fire Part II

Time for Photoshop Flames
Now we need to manipulate our image to create some realistic flames. We'll use the liquify tool in different brush sizes to manually add our effects. You should have your image open, and working with Layer 1 still for this part of the tutorial.
  • Click on Filter > Liquify to open the liquify tool. Your initial brush settings you want larger, and then you'll gradually get smaller as we adjust tje fine details of the image. Here's what mine looks like , along with my initial settings. I started with a brush size of 37, then went down to the 25 you see below :



If you really wanted to, you could be done. However, I suggest going smaller in size with the brush to work out the small details. Remember, you don't want to downstroke your fire, or upstroke the inside of the arms too much. This will cause a bleed of black into his arms.

You could fiddle with your layer by copying it, adjusting the saturation and the opacity to bring in some more reds etc.. If you want to add more structure to your man, you can read the last page of this tutorial to learn what I came up with to do just that.

    Jayz,

    Yes - you invert the image - so that's why it's probably not coming out as expected.

    See if you can find a player with a white shirt if you want to follow this tut word for word OR you can select the shirt, cut it, and save it as another layer to fiddle with it as a pasted layer later. Thanks@ Cory
