Introduction
Drawing sparks can be an incredible and exciting expression of creativity and imagination. For many, sparks are a mysterious phenomenon that they are often fascinated by, and want to learn how to create. Drawing sparks is more than just a cool trick – it’s an opportunity to express your inner artist and bring the mysterious and enigmatic sparks to life. Below you will find steps in order to create those iconic, spectacular sparks that you desire.
Step 1: Plan Out What You Want
Before you take out your supplies, ask yourself what kind of sparks are you trying to create. Are you looking for a spark shower? Birth of a star? Maybe something a little simpler, such as a glimmer or a flash. Ask yourself what kind of effect are you after, and plan out your design accordingly.
Sketching out your ideas can help tremendously when it comes to getting creative. Settle for nothing but your absolute best when it comes to sparks – you only get one chance!
Step 2: Gather Your Supplies
Make sure that you have the necessary supplies to ensure optimal sparks. You’ll need a high quality graphite pencil, several sheets of art paper, and you may want to grab a few other supplies to help give your sparks extra pizzazz. For example, having a variety of metallic pens at your disposal can greatly enhance your final design.
Also, feel free to lay down a few extra pieces of paper if you feel that your pencil isn’t creating the sparked look you want.
Step 3: Begin Your Drawing
Now that you have an idea in your head and supplies in hand, unleash your inner artist and begin to create your piece. Remember, as you are drawing, keep an eye on the details – every spark should be unique in its own special way! Make sure that your lines are light, but confident. In addition, try to keep them close together. Sparks should represent unity.
As your design nears completion, consider adding a few touches of silver sparkles to intensify your piece and truly capture the beauty of the sparks. Lastly, consider adding a few quick jots of silver dots to give the illusion of sparkles breaking away from the rest of the piece.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Once you have completed your design, there are a few tricks you can use to make your spark drawing unique. Adding a few soft highlights with a white chalk pencil or a few brush strokes with a light white paint can make your sparks look even more realistic. A few glints of glitter also work nicely in creating that magical, captivating viewers. Now, stand back and admire your art. You did it!
