Why draw a Candle?
This wonderful part about learning how to draw a candle is that is can be used in so many different ways. You could draw one in front of a stained glass window, or add Christmas holly. Or you could drop the background all together and use it for a birthday celebration or something.
It only takes a few simple shapes to make a simple candle like the one shown above. Or you could add more detail like the holiday versions further down. All tutorials are here to help students draw the one best suited for their needs.
Holiday Tip: If you are looking for a project that honors many different kinds of holiday celebrations, then you can’t go wrong with a candle theme. They work for Christmas, obviously, and Hanukkah, Kwanza and more. It’s always nice to find something that all our different cultures have in common!

- Drawing Paper. This is the good stuff you can buy in bulk for a good price.
- Pencils. I like how this brand always makes nice dark lines.
- Black Marker. A permanent marker will give you a dark black color.
