Fire is a symbol of warmth in the house. To draw it, start with a simple tutorial and a picture that will allow you to understand the color of fire. Pay attention to the movement. The creation of movement in the picture is necessary in order to realistically depict fire. If you look closely, fire and flame have many colors. The small fire has soft deep yellows or oranges, while the large fire has blues, yellows, oranges, and reds.
It is necessary
- - watercolor paper;
- - watercolor;
- - brushes;
- - pastel;
- - palette.
Instructions
Step 1
To get started, imagine a fire while drawing or look at the picture. On watercolor paper, draw the shape of a large tear with a pencil, tilting its ends slightly to the right. Now divide the top into several different lines, thinner and smaller. The more you portray, the better. Add sections touching each other a little. Draw so that the section lines end at the bottom at one point of the tear. Then add some asymmetry to indicate the movement of the sparks. And draw some sparks starting from the middle ones that are closer to the fire. Gradually reach the small sparks, as if dissolving them.
Step 2
Prepare your watercolor paint and palette. Add yellow paint and some water to the palette, mix the paint with a brush. Lightly paint over the entire drawing, including the sparks. Then apply orange paint on the drawing, leaving the edges 3 cm yellow, paint over the rest. Mix the red paint with the orange one and step back 5 cm from the edge of the orange line, paint over the drawing. Then mix the blue paint with the red one and do the same.
Step 3
Make the bottom of the fire darker than the tops of the flame, paint the bottom of the tear with dark red paint. Alternate colors, brushing against other parts of the flame, for realistic fire. Notice it will look like a yellow-red rainbow. Add some shadow in front of each split flame with dark red paint to make the front flames stand out.
Step 4
The final touch: add small sparks of fire with light orange paint, diluted with water beforehand to make the color transparent. This is necessary so that those sparks that seem to begin to dissolve are slightly visible. Leave the drawing to dry for 20 minutes. Then use yellow pastels to highlight the sparkles and edges for a noticeable "glow". Then add some highlights on top of the yellow with white pastels. Do not forget to apply shadow highlights with purple watercolor on the right along the edges of the burning fire. The fire is ready!
