Flames? Any tips?

You have received some great advice so far. I would just like to add one small thing. I am not sure what type of paper you are using, but it is very important. I like using a velum as opposed to bond since markers dont soak into the paper. This allows you to push, blend & even lift the ink around. It also allows you to "paint" with your color pencils. The solvent in the markers disolves the "lead" from the pencil, and you can make it look like water color. There are a lot of ways to use the tools you have. Just don't overlook the paper.
