🖍️ Tools For Success

🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.

Step-by-Step Drawing of Fireworks

  1. Draw a diagonal line on your paper – short or long, depending on how you like it.
  2. Then, at the top of the line, fill the area with five shorter diagonal lines in equal distance. 
  3. It doesn’t look like a firework yet. Let’s add some more details! On the top of the shorter diagonal lines, draw one star for each.
  4. Next, in between the diagonal lines, draw five longer lines with stars on top of them to add more sparks to the fireworks. 
  5. Beautiful! Repeat step two to make your fireworks more sparkling and brighter! 
  6. Color the stars yellow, then the lines red…we went simple, it can also depend on how you like it to sparkle and shine! There are different ways of drawing stars and fireworks! Plus there are tons of different colors so you flex that creativity however you’d like!
