How to Draw a Fireball
Draw a fireball in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the ball.
Step 1: The ball
Right of the middle of your paper, draw one big round ball of fire, as big as a grapefruit.
Tip The face goes on it, so make it big.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Above the middle of the ball, draw 2 big egg eyes one eye apart, with a black dot and shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes, draw a U smile from eye to eye, and a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: The flame tail
Start on the top-left of the ball. Draw a big flame streaming left with 3 licks, stopping at the bottom-left.
Tip The middle lick is the longest.
Step 5: A flame inside
In the big flame, draw a smaller one: start on the ball, wobble out 3 licks, back to the ball.
Step 6: Sparks
Round the tail, draw 2 tiny 4-point star sparks flying off behind the flames, not touching them.
Step 7: Whoosh lines
Draw 3 short whoosh lines behind the flame: 1 above the top lick, 1 between licks, 1 below.
Step 8: Yellow ball
Go over your lines, then colour the ball yellow. Leave the eyes white.
Step 9: Orange flame, pink cheeks
Colour the smaller flame and the sparks orange, and the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Red flames
Colour the big flame tail red around the orange flame, and your fireball is blazing!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a fireball, drawn by you.
