In this tutorial, Marty Geller from Blue Lightning TV demonstrates how to create a striking ring of fire in Photoshop. The video includes links to a custom brush set for fire sparks and a dark background, though you can choose your own as long as it meets a resolution of 72 pixels per inch.
The process begins with creating a circular path using the Ellipse Tool and adjusting its position and size. After rendering flames through the Filter menu, users are encouraged to experiment with settings to customize their fiery creation. Important details include adjusting the flame type and colors, ensuring the highest quality by opting for “Fine” rendering. After layering the flames, sparks are added using the provided brush set.
The tutorial guides you through creating an outer glow effect to enhance the flames, as well as blurring and masking techniques for the sparks. With these steps, users can achieve a vibrant and dynamic ring of fire effect, perfect for eye-catching designs.
