How to draw a firework - a free firework drawing guide

I don’t have markers or a black marker; what can I use instead for coloring and the tiny star dots?

Use colored pencils or crayons to color each firework instead of markers and substitute a dark-colored pencil or fine-tip pen for the black marker when adding tiny star dots and short trailing spark lines.

My burst lines look uneven or my colors won’t blend—how can I fix those problems?

For uneven radiating lines, lightly mark the center and use a ruler or rotate the paper to draw the eight evenly spaced pencil lines, and for stubborn color blends apply the warm color first then layer the cool color outward while the ink is still wet or finish with colored pencil over marker to smooth the transition.

How do I adapt this activity for different ages or skill levels?

For younger children, pre-draw the faint ground line, three circles, and the burst skeleton so they can add large curved sparks with washable markers, while older kids can add extra bursts, finer zigzag spark details, and practice two-color blending as described in the color step.

What are some ways to personalize or extend the finished firework scene before sharing it?

Add a silhouetted skyline along the faint ground line, use metallic pens or glitter glue to highlight centers and tips of the sparks, write your name and date, and then share the finished colorful firework scene on DIY.org.
