Fire Texture

Today we created a fire texture in Photoshop. I started off by making my foreground colour black and my background colour white then selected the render clouds filter. After that i added a gradient map to it going through black, red, orange, yellow then white. I then added a twirl to it by going filter/ distort, twirl. This gave it a bit of motion. I finally took into the liquify option and started bloating parts of it and adding turbulence to make it more lively. here was the final image.
