Build your candle on a basic cylindrical shape.
People use candles for light, ambience and decoration. Even when unlit, candles can add sophistication and comfort to a room. Though candles come in all shapes and sizes, the most basic shape they take is that of tall cylinder. Once you've drawn your candle, you can add any details and colors you like to bring it to life. A cartoon candle doesn't have to be true to life, however, it only needs to be easily recognizable as a candle.
Instructions
1. Draw an upside down "T." In the center of the "T," draw a vertical cylinder. Trace over the top end of the cylinder to create depth.
2. Draw a small circular plate at the bottom of the rectangle, which should already be looking like a candle. Draw a curved line for a wick, at the top of the candle, and draw a flame around the wick. Add thickness to the front of the plate to make it look three-dimensional.
3. Draw wax forming at the top and bottom of the candle. Scratch lines throughout the candle for texture. Use the same basic outline to draw multiple candles of various sizes.
