Curious what brush settings you use for this?
Hello~! I use Adobe Photoshop CS6, for painting this I used one of the brushes from this pack:

(it looks vaguely like a triangle)
When I use the Smudge tool I choose something that’s fairly smooth, but the important bit for that is that you go into Brush Options and turn on Scattering, as well as keep the strength very low, no higher than 5%, otherwise it just looks like a hot mess ;p If you use Sai or something else I’m afraid I can’t help as I don’t use it ^^; but if you found something that is mostly smooth and has a hard edge that would probably work the same. For this process you essentially want a smooth brush, both hard and smooth edges on your flames, and using mostly colors to blend (: Thank you and good luck! <3
