Draw Flames On The Picture Of The Vehicle

Flames drawn on a car picture are symbolic of speed.


Flames can be found adorning cars, trucks and other vehicles. The simple addition of flames to a vehicle can give it a racing look and has been a part of race car paint jobs since the birth of racing. Artists who draw cars often add flames to give the finished drawing a race car or hot rod character. Drawing flames on a car picture isn't a difficult process and can help you give any car you draw a flashy appearance.


Instructions


1. Locate the area of the car where you want to begin drawing the flames. This is the base of the flames. Typically, flames will start at the front fender and extend back across the door, but you could also start flames at the door and extend them to the rear fender. Flames might also be placed on the hood of a car, with the base of the flame toward the front of the car and the flames themselves extending back toward the windshield.


2. Draw a line from your starting point toward the ending point. Curve the line slightly as you draw toward where the flame tip will be. Bring the line at a slight downward curve, then lift your pencil and place it at the exact point where you ended the first line. Draw another line parallel to the first, running in the opposite direction, but stop after you've drawn about half the length of the top line. This is one of the flames.


3. Continue to draw several of the flames as described in step two, but vary the lengths of them. How many flames you draw will depend upon how many flames you want on your car. The last flame you draw will extend all the way back to your starting point to form the full base of the flame.


4. Color your flames with orange, yellow, red and blue color pencils. There is no set blend of the colors needed to create fire colors, but the blue will typically be at the base and used sparingly. Apply the red, yellow and orange, then gently rub your eraser over the flames to blend them.
