Step by Step Christmas Candle Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Flame
Begin by drawing a teardrop shape with a smaller teardrop inside it. This is your candle’s gentle, glowing flame.
Step 2 – Add the Melting Wax Top
Below the flame, sketch a soft oval and draw drippy, wavy lines coming down from it to show melted wax.
Step 3 – Draw the Candle Body
Extend two straight vertical lines down from the wax to form the tall candle shape.
Step 4 – Add Three Berries at the Base
Draw three overlapping circles near the candle’s bottom—these are festive holly berries!
Step 5 – Add Holly Leaves
Draw two big, pointy holly leaves behind the berries, one on each side, with jagged edges for that holiday look.
Step 6 – Draw a Face and Color!
Give your candle some personality with two little oval eyes and a smiling mouth. Now color it with reds, greens, and warm yellows to bring it to life!
