How To Draw A Fancy Candle

I am glad to share this free printable drawing worksheet. It can be used in class or at home; it will help give the young artist confidence and a few pointers to draw. It could be given as an extra assignment in class or as a take-home project.

The candle can be a simple element in a still-life picture, or it can be its own subject. 

For the project below, I used a felt tip Sharpie marker for the sharp lines and a set of Faber-castell PITT artist pens for the grey values.

Candles can add something to a picture, and they are full of meaning. The trick is to get everything. Even if you have something on one side, you have something that matches the other, especially if you have a fancy candlestick.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES

Begin with a line going up and down to be a "center" guideline that you will use as a reference, but you will erase later. It is OK to use a ruler to get the lines straight.

On each side of the guideline, put marks to indicate the places where the candle and candlestick have shape. Don't draw the shapes just yet; right now, you want to mark the places- like making a plan. The marks must be the SAME DISTANCE on each side of the center guideline. If the mark for a curve on the candlestick is an inch on the right side, there should be a mark that is one inch on the left side.

Use circles to make the curves of the fancy candlestick; make sure the circles are the same sizes where they mirror each other. Part of the circles will get erased later, so draw lightly.

Connect the marks with up and down lines.

The bottom of the candlestick has a curve going down and out like an upside-down rainbow but slighter.

The candle has drips at the top; they look like teardrops.

The flame is two curving lines that touch at the top, the flame looks like a teardrop, but one that is bent like an "S." And the wick looks like a question mark.

Add decoration to the candlestick using dots, circles, or diamond shapes.

Erase the extra lines.

Add shadows.

I start by making an outline using basic shapes. I suggest you draw lightly so that you can erase the extra lines when you are done.

Draw three circles; make one big for the head and two smaller circles, one for the nose and one for the chin, out a little away from the first large circle, this will form the snout part of the face. Connect the circles with four lines; two lines from the nose to the large circle and two lines from the chin to the large circle.

The mane is made by drawing three letter "Cs" at the inside back of the large circle: add two lines for the top and the bottom of the mane. The letter "C" marks should touch the back of the large circle.

Give the lip and the mouth a curve.

The eye is a circle with a curved line above it and touching the top of the circle. Draw a line crossways underneath, curve it just a little, draw a line up and down in the eye make it like a letter "V" but curved a little.

Make the neck with two lines curving lines they should be wider at the bottom.

Two curved lines make the horn, and a curved line finishes the jaw.

Draw ridges along the back, shape these by drawing double letter "C" connected so they have curves.

Draw the teeth like long skinny triangles.

Erase any extra lines.

Add scales and shadows.

I did the illustration with sharpie pens and colored it with pencil.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES

BEGINNING STEPS
The first lines make the basic shape. Start with a curve for the front of the wing. Halfway across, draw a line down to mark where the body goes.  Draw two lines going down and out like an upside-down "V" these start just below where the neck would be.

WINGS
The back of the wing is six short curving lines connected together. Start from the outside edge of the wing and draw a little of each one. Go back and forth between the wing to be sure to keep everything matching.

DETAILS OF WINGS
Draw the wing patterns evenly by copying back and forth on each side as you go; if you try to do all one side, then the other wing won't match.  The top wing has a line going out away from the body to the tip and then three lines going down from it. The bottom wing has a teardrop-shaped line next to the big dividing line (that dividing line is a wide line). There are three teardrop-shaped lines coming off, the first going downward.

There are two rows of dots at the back edge. You might try to draw a row of figure "8"s to get them even. On the tip of the wing are four rows of dots; the second row has three big dots.

Color the outline black. Try a sharpie. Color the wings orange and red. The dots say white except for the three big dots at the edge.  Color the background blue or green.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES.

Start your drawing with a 2b pencil and draw lightly. You can go over it with a darker pencil or marker after you have the basic design worked out.

The face starts out as an oval. Divide it in half going up and down with a line. Keep everything on both sides the same distance from the line so that his face stays balanced
.
The eyes are in the middle on the line drawn across the face; this line should help keep one eye from being too high or lower than the other. Start them as circles and then draw the eyelids over them. The bottom eyelid goes down so he looks old and tired.  He has pale eyes so don't color them in.

The eyebrows are white and bushy; don't do too much just some shadow on the lower part of the eyebrow and a few hairs sweeping upward.

The nose is little more than halfway to the chin, it is big. (People's noses still grow as they age.)  It is like three circles; a big circle with two smaller circles on each side. Shadow the bottom. It should go down over the mustache a little.

The ears are big. They are as high as the eyebrows on top and as low as the bottom of the nose.

The hair and beard are thin and white. Draw a few long lines going down, try to keep from getting carried away, since we want him to have white hair.
.
He has white hair with some gray streaks .If you make the background dark that will make the hair look whiter.

His mouth is partly hidden by the mustache, only the bottom lip shows; it is a wavy thin line, with a shadow underneath.

Add a lot of wrinkles in the face especially around the eyes.

Draw the basic shape of the head as an oval. Don't draw the hood yet, save that for later. Draw two guidelines; one vertical and one across the face dividing it in half each way. Draw the eyes on the halfway mark going across keeping the eyes evenly spaced from the vertical guideline. His eyes are curved on top and flat on the bottom. Put the shiny spot in the eye before you shade it in or color it.

The nose is halfway down from the eyes. The nose is shaped like the letter "u" with two curved marks on each side.  Shadow only one side of the nose.

The mouth is halfway down from the nose.  The lower lip is like two ovals together. The top is covered with the mustache. Shade the bottom of the lower lip.

The tops of the ears are as high as the eyes and the bottom is as low as the bottom of the nose. The ears are in the shadow of the hood, so don't worry too much about them.

The neck starts down at the ears, keep most of it in shadow.

Take your time with the eyebrows and the beard. The hair in the eyebrows go in three different directions, it starts up at the by the nose then tilt over some halfway across and the last part points toward the ear. When you do the beard keep the jaw looking hard and square.

Draw the hood last.

Put in a lot of shadows in the face. keep the beard and the eyes dark.
I could have done more with the hood it is supposed to be heavy black canvas material and has heavy thick folds in it.

LESSON NOTES

BEGINNING STEPS
The basic shape is like a lolly-pop with a curved stick. Draw really light so you can erase. Don't make the trunk straight but make the trunk curved or shaped like an "S." It starts out as two lines that are wider at the bottom and narrower at the top but keep it skinny.

LEAVES
Start the leaves by making ten or eleven lines from the top of the trunk outward to the circle of the "lolly-pop." Group them in twos and threes and leave a few gaps to give interest. Draw the leaves by outlining them first; use two lines that go from the top of the trunk to the edge marked by the ten or so lines you drew before, they should look like swords or feathers. Draw them each different; some are going to be turned, some will be twisted, and for some only one side is showing. Erase the extra marks. Finish the leaves with short lines going out from the long center leaf lines. Avoid repeated patterns.

DETAILS
The coconuts are ovals, draw only two or three. They are grouped together at the top of the trunk. Don't make them side by side put one behind and only part showing.

The bottom of the trunk spreads out just a little, its roots are like fingers.

At this point, you may want to go over it with markers or color pencils.

Add shadows to the trunk, leaves ground and coconuts. Add a beach, a boat,  the ocean and maybe a sunset or a seagull.

Don't rush through it take your time and take a few breaks. It will be a drawing you can be proud of.

Outline lightly the flowers and the leaves, put them down one side. The leaves are heart-shaped, don't make them side by side but put a few behind others. The bird's wing is like a large letter "C" with a long bottom. The flowers are morning glories and they are round with dark centers. They don't need to be perfect but try to make them all the same size.

Make the tree bark rough with short choppy lines.  Add the leaves to the tree, they are shaped like the letter "V". Give the flowers some detail with dark centers.

When you are happy with the basic design change to a darker pencil or a marker and go over the drawing again adding any detail you feel it needs.

Shadows add realism, shade the side of the tree, the side of the birdhouse, and around the flowers.
