Drawings Featuring Candles - A Glimmer in the Dark

Some things have a way of tapping into our primal instincts, and fire is one of them. Unlike our ancestors who had no other options for illuminating the night, candles have since evolved into more of a luxurious self-care item or “hygge” staple. At times, they can be a source of warmth or guiding light in the dark; other times, they contribute to an eerie, ritualistic atmosphere, casting long shadows on the wall and flickering alarmingly at the slightest hint of a breeze.

From cozy to sinister, today’s illustrations are perfect examples of the mesmerizing power candles have over us. Next time you light a candle, try gazing into the flame for a hypnotizing, multisensory experience!
