Drawings Featuring Candles - By The Glow Of The Light

Gone are the days when candles were used to keep the things that go bump in the night at bay; nowadays, candles are often used to “set the mood” rather than serve as a primary source of light. At times, their gentle glow can soothe our weary souls and provide a source of warmth, while other times, their unsteady flickering can signal the sign of something more foreboding, like a looming shadow in the darkness.

Today’s drawings perfectly illustrate the duality of candles and the various ways they can add to an illustration’s atmosphere. Enjoy!
