Description: I haven't made a tutorial on a candle in a very long time and since candles are so fun to draw, I figured why not make a lesson on "how to draw a Halloween candle", step by step. The festive candle really gives a nice warmth because of the fall colors. The ambiance of the flame, along with the brown, yellow and red tones, makes this one fun drawing to create. I went with some fall leaves as the base for the candle, but you can choose to draw anything you wish as your Halloween candle base. You can even draw a pumpkin next to the candle to add a more Halloween type of feel. In any case have fun drawing a Halloween candle. I'm sure you'll find some use for the lesson. Peace out folks!
