Drawing Fire and Flame

Monday December 22, 2008
If you're in the Northern Hemisphere and snuggling up by a warm fire, you might want to try drawing fire and flame. This lesson includes tips for simple line-drawing of flames, some points to remember when drawing fire, and a step-by-step drawing of a candle in colored pencil. If you are making a greeting card, use a heavy, hot-pressed watercolor paper. Give it a few light coats of fixative so that the colors don't rub off in the recipient's hands.
