9. Draw specks throughout the drawing to represent sparks.
Outline your cartoon forest fire with black, then use orange and yellow for the flames. Use dark red for the ground, sky and tree trunks and lighter red for the smoke. Make the sparks orange so that they stand out.
Color Your Forest Fire Drawing
For a challenge, try coloring your drawing with a gradient. Start with dark red at the bottom of the tree trunks. Add brown at the top, then slowly bring the colors together so that they meet in the middle and blend them in.
Similarly, use dark red for the top of the sky and gradually make it lighter as it approaches the horizon.

Learn More About The Forest Fire Drawing
A wildfire can tear through miles of forest and even reach suburban and city areas. This forest fire drawing uses yellow, orange and dark red to showcase the wildfire's power.
While some forest fires are accidental, people sometimes start controlled burns to help new plants and trees grow. You could draw a cartoon firefighter in the landscape to help put out the blaze. Make sure they're wearing their safety gear!
This guide shows you how to use contrasting colors, such as yellow and dark red, to create a dramatic atmosphere.

You can sketch grass on the forest floor for added detail. You won't be able to see the sun or moon in the sky because the wildfire's smoke blocks out the light.
