What's missing on that fire truck? A fire symbol! In just a few simple steps, you'll learn how to create a flame form that will look great on any drawing depicting a fire theme.
Edit Steps
Edit Part 1: The Outline
Draw a circle.
Draw a skinny triangle that overlaps the circle. Its base should cut the circle in two halves.
Draw another identical skinny triangle for the other half of the cicle.
Erase the inner lines and any extra outlines. Smoothen the shape a little from the sides. The result should be a "marquise" shape or a double pointed oval.
Edit Part 2: The Inside
Draw a smaller marquise inside the one that's already drawn; repeat the same steps for the upper half of the shape drawn.
Draw a semicircle on the preferred side of the smaller marquise. In this case, on the left.
Cut out a piece of the big marquise by erasing the lines shown in red.
Create a smaller marquise shape at the bottom of the larger marquise. Cut out a piece in the same way you did for the larger marquise.
Fill in with color.
