![]() ![]() ![]() The further we move out of the center of the fire and the closer we get to the edge the redder the color of the fire gets. But the approach is very similar.Ī very light yellow color for the core of the fire. If you want to know how to approach this coloring with watercolors, then take a look at my guide on drawing a flamingo, where I use watercolors. I colored this drawing with colored pencils but you can also use watercolors. Next up you need to pick the colors, that you want to color your drawing with. So either slightly erase the lines until you can barely see them or use the kneadable eraser and rollover your drawing to lighten up the lines. Step 4: Let´s Color Our Fire.īefore we get to the coloring phase you need to lighten your previous lines a little, so that they don´t show through your color layers. The further up you place these shapes the smaller they will get. It almost surrounds the whole middle and core part of the fire and as you can see it kind of dissolves in the top part into smaller shapes. The edge of our fire is the biggest shape in this drawing. When you look at a burning fire, then you will see, that the bottom part of the flame has very little movement compared to the top part of the flame.Īnd in order to give this illusion of movement in our drawing, we will make the top part of our flames very rough and chaotic looking with lots of extreme looking flame-like shapes. I drew this shape the exact same way as I drew the core of our flame in the previous step.Īnd as our final shape for the middle part of the flame, we will add another bigger shape behind the two shapes, that we already have.Īs you can see, the lines are getting very chaotic in the top part of the flame but that is intentional. Next up let´s add another shape that is pretty similar to the precious shape behind our flame core and little further up. Part 2: Let´s Draw The Middle Part of the Flame However, they appear more often in the top part of the flame, as we will see later on. A few shapes, that mirror the outlines of the flame, in the top part of the flame will give the flame a little more life.ĭon´t add these shapes in the lower part of the flame because these shapes will not appear in the lower part of the flame. Next up we will add some c-shaped lines that go in the other direction than before to connect some of the lines from before.Īnd as you can see the core of our fire is already looking like fire.įinally, let´s add some details to our little flame-core. Then from the half-circle, a lot of c-shaped lines go up and form the general shape of the core of the fire. Start by drawing the bottom part of the flame first. The center of the flame will, later on, be white. Take your graphite pencil and draw all the following lines, until we get to coloring, very light because you will erase most of them later on. We will start by drawing the very center of our enormous flame. This tip is useful for every part of drawing in general, by the way. Remember these shapes and use them in your drawing and you will find, that it will instantly look more like fire. Look at fire and try to see if you can find any forms, that repeat a lot. Try to understand the general forms of the fire. Try to look as straight at the piece of paper before you as possible to avoid as much perspective on your drawing surface as possible. You will mainly use the eraser to soften up the guidelines so that you can go over them with color and a regular eraser can damage the paper underneath while a kneadable eraser won´t damage anything. ![]() EraserĪny regular eraser will do but I would suggest using a kneadable eraser. If you want to color your drawing with pencils, as I did, then regular sketching paper will do.īut your paper should be white and not brownish for this drawing because the color effect, that we will create in this guide, will look better on full white paper. ![]() If you chose a wet medium like watercolor or paint, then you should use a thicker paper. The right paper depends on the type of color, you chose before. Just be sure, that your paper can take the medium of your choosing.įor example don´t use watercolors or acrylic paint if your paper is regular sketching paper, that can´t take a wet medium. You could use watercolors, acrylic paint, or crayon. I used color pencils but you can use any medium, you like. It’s just important that you use a pen, that you can easily erase later on. I usually use a graphite pen between HB to 6B. You will need pencils to draw the construction lines and the underdrawing with. Just use the drawing tools, that you are most comfortable with. I generally only suggest the tools, that you could use because, to be quite honest, it doesn’t really matter what tools you use. Part 2: Let´s Draw The Middle Part of the Flame. ![]()
