This step-by-step guide will teach you the basics of how to draw flames. Flames are most commonly used in co-ordinance with fire, but are not limited to fire. Let's begin!
Steps
Cartoon Flames

- Draw flowing lines and curves to complete the flames on the basis of the guides.

Simple Flames

- Repeat a second line below that.
- Repeat it for the third time below the above made.
- Overlap the mountain-like lines with isosceles triangles.
- Draw the flames in detail with necessary curves based on the above guides.

Tips
- Don't try too hard as it will only make it more complicated. It can be simple, but you're in control of that.
- Don't be fooled by people saying that you need art pencils to do good drawings, it's a load of rubbish. It's about the artist not the pencils. If you gave a baby some art pencils he wouldn't give you back a piece of work in Picasso standards.
- Be sure to add the extra sparks around the fire, it really makes the fire look ten times better.
