A drawing of a candle, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

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 candle with drippy wax like the one shown above, or you could add more detail like the holiday version further down. Both 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 drawing a candle. 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!

Materials for a Candle Drawing

Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. Buying the pre-sharpened ones will save busy teachers a lot of time.

Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.

Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.

Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.

Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
