How to draw the Eternal Flame

What is needed

Paper;
simple pencil;
gouache;
brush;
a jar of water;
palette.

How to draw

Expand the sheet of paper vertically. Use a simple pencil to outline a rectangular burner. To draw a star, extend four oblique lines down from the shape. From the ends of those that are closer to the center, bring down two more. Draw straight horizontal lines from the two line segments.

Draw a flame. It resembles an inverted blob: widened at the bottom and tapering at the top. Draw pointed tongues.

Using yellow gouache, repeat the shape of the fire in the center of the workpiece. Outline the shape with orange paint and then red. Smooth out the transitions between shades with a damp brush.

On the palette, mix white with a little black. Paint over two segments of the star with light gray gouache. Add some more black to the shade, and then cover the rest of the shape with it. Shade the burner.

Make the space under the Eternal Flame brown. Use blue for the background. Draw white strokes in the center of the flame. Circle the star in black gouache.
