Want a bigger fire?
Feel free to add more tendrils in the same loose way.
The important thing is that all of the lines flow together in a natural way.

The way to do this is by creating a mini fire inside the fire you’ve already drawn.
This should resemble the sketch you’ve already made with several loose flames, but smaller.
These should have the same organic feeling to them.
