How to draw a fire with flames in stages

You need:

a sheet of paper; a pencil; an eraser;

Basis

To begin with, we offer you to draw the basis of the flame. Place it in the center of the sheet to make the drawing look proportional. The basis of the fire has a teardrop shape.

In the first stages of work, don’t press heavily on the pencil. Then you will need to erase the extra lines. It’s desirable not to leave a trace.

Firewood

Any fire can not be made without dry firewood. Draw them, first schematically, using thin lines parallel to a small distance. Now they look like rays of the sun.

Then connect the lines together, giving a round shape to them .

Flame

To get a beautiful picture, you need to try to draw the fire properly. Draw sharp flames, as it’s shown in the picture.

Erase the lines

In the first stage we mentioned that the initial stages of the image are schematic. Erase all unnecessary lines not to allow them to distort the picture and not to allow them complicate the work.

Wood texture

The drawing must look more natural. Draw a pattern on the wood to convey its texture using a pencil. Draw little twigs. Now the wooden elements are indistinguishable from the real ones. Follow the changes in the picture.

Flames

Improve the fire by drawing a variety of shapes and direction of the flames.

Final touches

A few more simple manipulations with a pencil and the drawing is ready.

Add texture elements on the wood – and the picture is ready! Well done!

Collage

Here are collected the most basic stages of fire drawing. You can print out a collage in order the stages of the work are always in front of your eyes. Then you don’t have to look at the monitor.
