How to Draw a Torch
Draw a torch in 11 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 cup.
Step 1: The cup
In the middle of your paper draw a cup like a bucket: a flat top, sloping sides, a narrow bottom.
Step 2: The flame
Start on the rim at the left. Draw 3 teardrop tongues, the middle one tallest, stopping on the rim.
Tip Give each tongue a soft point that leans in toward the middle.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the cup draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile from eye to eye. Add a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: The handle
Start on the cup's bottom, draw a straight stick down with a round end, and stop back on the cup.
Step 6: Inner flame
Inside the big flame draw a smaller flame, starting and stopping on the rim, with a point in the middle.
Step 7: Handle wraps
Near the top of the handle draw 3 slanted lines close together, each from edge to edge.
Step 8: Two sparkles
Beside the flame draw 2 little sparkle stars, one on each side, not touching the torch.
Step 9: Yellow flame, pink cheeks
Colour the inner flame yellow and the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Orange flame, grey cup
Colour the big flame orange around the yellow flame, and the cup grey around the face. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Wood handle
Colour the handle wood brown. Go over your lines, and your torch is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a torch, drawn by you.
