Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The big heart
Draw two round bumps side by side at the top, like two hills, with a small dip between them. Then bring the lines down to meet in a rounded point at the bottom.
Step 3: The tall flame
Above the heart, draw a tall flame tip that starts with a little hook on the left. Curve it up to a point, then swoop it over to the right and down.
Step 4: Flames on the left
Just left of the tall flame, draw a small wavy flame with a pointy top. Then keep going with a second wavy tip that curves down to touch the left side of the heart.
Step 5: Flames on the right
Just right of the tall flame, draw a small wavy flame with a pointy top. Then add a last curvy flame that bends over and comes down to touch the right side of the heart.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a flaming heart
- Draw the two bumps of the heart the same size so it looks balanced.
- Flames are the trickiest part, so try making each one like a tall letter S that leans a little to one side.
- Make the middle flame the tallest and the outer flames shorter, so the fire looks like it is dancing.

Draw each flame in a smooth S curve that ends in a point. Make the flames different heights so they look like they are moving.
