The production method of a flame avatar generally requires the following processes: The first step is to process the image and use some filters to find the main outline of the avatar. In the second step, use a smoke or flame brush to add smoke along the outline. The last step is to refine and color the smoke part. You can choose the method you are familiar with.

1. Open the material and use the magic wand tool to select the picture background, invert the selection (ctrl+i) to select the portrait, and copy it to a new layer (ctrl+j).
2. Click on the background layer, fill it with black, go back to layer 1 and use the eraser tool to erase the extra parts until only the head is left. Make sure your brush’s opacity is set to 100%.
3. Make the avatar smaller and place it in the center of the canvas. Now use the Filter – Other – Median filter to soften the image and adjust the Radius value from 5 to 7.
4. Execute the decolorization command (ctrl+shift+u) on the image, and then use the Filter-Stylize-Find Edge Line filter to create a sketch line drawing effect, and what we need is exactly its opposite, so Execute invert (ctrl+i), now you can use it as a guide line.
5. Use a Gaussian filter to make the avatar look blurry, and adjust the radius value to about 6px. Use the Eraser Tool to erase the parts of the neck and hair that we don’t want to keep (the parts marked with yellow circles in the image below).
6. On this layer, open the Levels dialog box (ctrl+l) and adjust the values of highlights, midtones and shadows as shown below (you can adjust it according to your own feeling). This is to increase the contrast of the picture and make it The dark parts are darker and the light parts are brighter.
7. First add the smoke brush (as shown in the picture), which can be downloaded online. Note that this brush may be a bit large by default.
8. Ctrl+j Duplicate layer 1, then change the blending mode to Screen. Now the white line becomes brighter.
9. Create a new layer on top (named smoke), select a smoke brush, and click on the canvas to create a smoke shape (note that the transparency is 100%).
10. Change the size of the smoke and place it where you want it (such as the edge line). This is the most complicated part. Think about how you want to deform it. First, remove some unnecessary parts. This step You can use soft-edged brushes. 50% transparency.
11. Correct the shape of the smoke: One way is to use the smudge tool with 30% power to smear and pull the smoke to make it look real. NOTE: The smudge tool will blur it.
12. Another method is to use the Liquify tool, select the behind mode in the display background option, and set the opacity to 100%.
13. The key to this step is to practice a lot and combine the first and second methods. Remember to create a new layer every time you add new smoke. Once you start doing it, you will get a good feel for it, so I won’t go into detail here. Below is a small quick guide.
14. In the backgroundAdd some extra smoke to add depth, create a new layer above the background layer, use the shortcut key d to set the default foreground and background colors, go to Filter – Render – Clouds.
15. Notice that there are some black parts on the head of layer 1 that block the cloud effect. This is not the effect we want to achieve. Changing the blending mode of layer one to Screen can solve this problem:)
16. Go back to the cloud layer and add a mask. Use a mirror gradient to create this mask so that the smoke looks like it is fading slowly, as shown in the picture. Now the smoke part is done. . The next step is to add some glitter and fill in the colors.
17. Add a gradient layer on top of all layers and adjust the gradient color as shown. Blending mode: Overlay.
18. Select the brush and add the combined brush. As shown in the picture.
19. Create a new layer glitter below the gradient layer. Select the starburst brush, adjust the diameter to about 30px, and the brush spacing to about 190% as shown.
20. Select Shape Dynamics, increase the values of Size Jitter and Angle Jitter, and don’t forget to select the Flip x Jitter and Flip Y Jitter options. Then adjust the spread options to increase the spread and quantity.
21. Use white as the brush color to add a glitter effect. Make sure you do this on the glitter layer.
22. Use Gaussian Blur to blur these glitters, set the radius to 0.9px, and finally reduce the transparency of the glitter layer to 38%. Make the picture look more comfortable.
