Drawing of a man putting out a fire
Fire-themed drawings always include an image of a professional putting out fires. In this case, you can prepare a good photo for copying in advance.
A simple option for those who have never drawn people before is to draw a firefighter in profile. It will clearly show what the firefighter is doing.
Once the child has learned how to draw a firefighter figure, you can think about the rest of the components of the drawing:
- houses;
- street;
- fire truck.
The main difficulty you will encounter when drawing a firefighter putting out a fire is that he must be depicted dynamically. One leg can be slightly forward, and a hose in his hands. He must be focused in his work.
The drawing process takes place in the following stages:
- Outline the main parts of the body. The head is depicted as a circle, and the arms, legs and torso as lines. Don't forget about the joints, which should be represented by small circles. There should be one such circle on each knee of the firefighter and on each of his elbows.
- Draw a horizontal line through the body and arms. This will later become a hose.
- Draw a firefighter's suit. Its main items of clothing are a jacket, pants, boots and a protective helmet.
- Finish drawing the hose. To do this, draw another horizontal line along the previous one.
- Smooth out the contours of the figure.
- Finish drawing a gas mask or mask. On his back there should be a cylinder containing a substance for extinguishing fire.
- Add characteristic bright stripes to the clothes. For greater realism, you can add a few folds.
- Work on the firefighter's face. It is necessary to draw the eyes and eyebrows that are visible behind the protective glass.
- Add a few folds to the gas mask tube. Also at this stage, detail the hose knob.
- Get rid of all lines that were used as auxiliary ones during work.
The resulting drawing can be left in black and white, or you can add color to it using:
- pencils;
- felt-tip pens;
- paints.
Fire extinguisher
Fire-themed drawings may include work on a fire extinguisher. This is one of the main means of fighting fire. This device is a red cylinder equipped with a nozzle and a tube.
One of the simplest examples of drawing a fire extinguisher is the following:
- Approximately in the middle of the sheet, draw a vertically elongated rectangle.
- Enclose the elongated rectangle in another larger rectangle.
- Add an arced line at the top, which should start from one of the upper corners of the large triangle and end in the other upper corner.
- Detail the top of the fire extinguisher. Here the nozzle and tube are depicted as a small square and triangle.
- Color the device. The cylinder must be red, and it may have a sticker with a picture of fire. It is best to enclose this fire in a red circle and cross it with a red diagonal line.
Fire engine
To work, you need to prepare simple and colored pencils, an eraser and a sheet of paper.
The stages of work on the image of a fire truck will be as follows:
- To depict the body of the car, draw a large rectangle.
- For the driver's cabin, draw a smaller rectangle next to it.
- Divide a large rectangle into 2 equal parts using a strip.
- Draw the roof slightly above the top contour of the car. Draw a ladder on it. It is represented by 2 straight perpendicular lines going to the middle of the roof of the driver's cabin.
- Place 2 circles at the bottom of the car body. These will be the wheels.
- Draw smaller circles inside the wheels.
- At the lower rear of the car, depict a small coiled fire hose.
- Mark the windows on the driver's cabin.
- Draw headlights and a bumper at the bottom of the cabin.
- Remove unnecessary elements and auxiliary lines with an eraser.
- Place a flashing light on top of the cabin.
- Write "01" on the body.
- Colour the picture: red – the body and the driver’s cabin, black – the ladder, black or grey – the wheels, grey – the hose.
With cartoon characters
Children will love this cartoon fireman drawing. It's easy to do, the main thing is to have a suitable example in front of you.
The work can be divided into the following stages:
- Draw the head, body and legs of the character. The distinctive feature of this drawing will be the large size of the head. It should be significantly larger than the body and legs. The head is represented by a large circle and is located at the top of the paper sheet. The body should be represented by a figure similar to a trapezoid, but only with smooth lines, and the legs - 2 rectangles.
- Finish drawing a protective helmet on the head of the cartoon cheerful fireman. To do this, draw a semi-oval in the upper part of the large circle, stretched horizontally and enveloping the entire head, and above it - an arc line.
- Finish drawing the fireman's arms and detail his legs. Each arm is an arc line. Drawing the legs comes down to drawing 2 ovals under each of them. These will be boots.
- Draw the fireman's hose, which should be represented by two parallel horizontal lines.
- Detail the face. There should be large eyes represented by circles, as well as a nose in the shape of a triangle and a mouth in the shape of a crescent moon lying on its side.
- Add ears, each of which is a semi-oval.
- Add detail to the cartoon character's clothing by drawing the collar and characteristic stripes on the jacket and pants.
The drawing is colored as follows:
- face - beige;
- eyes - blue;
- suit with helmet - red;
- hose - yellow;
- boots - black.
With Smeshariki
Similar to the example above, a character from the animated series about Smeshariki can be drawn. For example, Krosh can try on the role of a fireman.
To identify him as a firefighter, it should be drawn on:
- a helmet on the head;
- back - balloon;
- On the upper paws there are gloves.
You can draw rabbit ears above the helmet.
Other fire-themed drawings
Drawings on fire topics are relevant, because most fires occur due to carelessness when using fire and electrical appliances. It will not be easy for a preschooler to draw something like this. He will need the help of adults, who can be teachers or parents.
As a result, the baby may get the following pictures:
- a burning house, represented by two simple geometric figures - a rectangle, demonstrating a wall, and a triangle, playing the role of a gable roof;
- a window depicted as a small square or rectangle in the wall of a house;
- fire, represented by bright lines of red, yellow and orange shades;
- a schematic drawing of a firefighter;
- the numbers "01", which is the phone number that every child should know.
You can also ask a preschooler to add color to a drawing that has already been drawn by someone. All he needs to do is use a felt-tip pen and a colored pencil to color different parts of the drawing. An adult should help the young artist by suggesting what colors certain objects should have.
Children who study at school draw better than preschoolers. And they also learned fire safety rules better.
Thematic drawings about fires, which are given to young schoolchildren, can include:
- firefighter;
- red car;
- fire extinguisher;
- burning house;
- electrical appliances;
- sockets.
It wouldn't hurt to have 2 large numbers - "01". You can highlight them in a brighter color so that children don't forget which phone number to call if a fire breaks out. You can also draw a red telephone receiver.
You can create a drawing of a burning house in the following way:
- Paint the background grey or grey-blue.
- Make a sketch of a house in the center of the sheet.
- Mark the contours in dark tones, which indicate the result of a fire.
- Determine the place in the house where the fire will be and draw the flames of fire there. It should be remembered that fire is the main element of the picture. It can be depicted using red, orange, scarlet, yellow shades.
- Finish painting the house and add some yellow-orange flames to some of the windows.
- At the top of the drawing, indicate smoke from the fire. You can use black, gray, white shades for it.
- Complete the drawing with a fire escape and firefighters pulling a hose.
- If necessary, add: “In case of fire, call 01.”
From an early age, a child should remember that matches cannot be played with. The slogan that should be firmly fixed in the head is: "Matches are not toys for children." This phrase can also be included in the general thematic drawing on the topic of fire safety.
The best confirmation of such a slogan will be the image of a little hooligan who holds a box of matches in his hands and watches with fear as the furniture in the house burns. Adults will help to create such an illustration.
To work you will need:
- album sheet;
- simple pencil;
- eraser;
- colored pencils or paints.

The stages of work will be as follows:
- Mark the location of the desk, chair and window on the left side of the sheet.
- Draw the figure of a boy on the right side of the sheet.
- Detail the boy's hands holding the burning match.
- Draw a box of matches at the boy's feet.
- Draw a flame of fire on the back of the chair and the books on the table.
- Add fire to the curtains.
- To show fear and despair on the bully's face.
- Draw the outlines of objects and the main character.
- Remove unnecessary elements and auxiliary lines with an eraser.
- Color the picture.
Campfires made in nature often lead to forest fires, especially when there is a long absence of rain. The main slogan for such a children's drawing should be the phrase: "Protect the forest from fire!"
To draw a fire in the forest you need to do the following:
- Prepare the background by painting a sheet of paper grey.
- Draw the ground using black, brown and dark green shades.
- Add ravines and mountains to the drawing.
- Use black or dark brown to depict the trunks of trees and bushes, and withered leaves.
- Depict a blazing fire using orange, red and yellow colors.
Any drawing, including those on fire topics, should not just bring aesthetic pleasure. Its main purpose is to remind about the importance of observing safety rules when handling fire and electrical appliances.
