Why Draw a Candy Cane?

The basic candy cane shape is pretty easy to draw, but this How to Draw a Candy Cane tutorial will share some tips on how to make it look a little more real. First the cane shape needs to be as large as space allows, and the width even from one end to the other. Second, the stripes will make the cane look round (instead of flat) if they have a gentle curve to them. Third, a very fat bow with wavy ribbon will add a final festive look and a bit more color too. Here’s how a clever reader used this tutorial to decorate her Christmas presents. Love how the white pops off that brown kraft paper!For those learning about the Elements of Art, this simple drawing can show the power that lines have to make something look dimensional. They keep this candy cane from looking like it was cut out of paper, but instead, perhaps drawn from real life!
