º First off, you need to create a new file, (File>New) for this Instructable, I chose a 500 x 500 pixel resolution.

º To allow the true justice of the fire to show through, change the background to a solid black, later this will allow you to screen your final product.

º You will then need to use the Pen Tool to create your SINGLE flame (Later, we will duplicate the one layer to make a more intricate flame)

º The pen tool takes some time to get use to, don't get frustrated too quick because it will get easier over time.

º On to step two!
