My first try at fire and smoke. It's not very good. I just wanted to know what you guys think...

It's all a bit too thick. Play around with the opacity and the blending modes of the layers, and if you have a 'liquify' option, try that one too.  Wink

looks like you have used a pencil crayon

my tips would be

1.create your smoke first on one layer
2. on a new layer put a small bit of yellow and orrange (or whatever) where the fire is comeing from and smiudge it into shape

That's exactly what I did.

Maybe try decreasing the opacity of the smoke and flames.

Its good...but could be better. As said before, opacity down would be good. Also the flames don't look like they're in the right place to me.....could just be me though.

I think the smoke should be coming form the engine instead of the the wing root Wink
