help cleaning up an image

[jay-em]

I drew out these flames to be used for a motorcycle [Katana]

I am cleaning this image up in Flash MX.

It is pretty obvious where my problems are...
Thanks in advance Kirupians!

btw, if the drawing itself in your opinion doesn't look right,
please tell me...

Here is a fully colored version where the problems are more obvious...

you've gotta increase your curves and do it hand by hand, I don't see any other solution to it..

(to curve the fills, put your mouse next to a border and you should see the curve cursor, which creates the curve)

Thanks mlk... I got it..
I will post pics when the vinyl work is done...
