Hanukkah is coming up in a few days. I thought that I would make a Hanukkah menorah drawing tutorial for those Jewish kids out there who don’t know how to draw one yet. Below, learn how to draw one in easy steps. I accidentally drew the 7-branched menorah which is for daily use, the 9-branch menorah is to be used for Hanukkah…here is the 9-branch menorah tutorial.
How to Draw Hanukkah Menorahs with Easy Step by Step Drawing Lesson for Jewish Children
Step 1
Draw the skeletonized version of a menorah. First draw a vertical line, and then draw 3 letter ‘u’s, each one consecutively bigger than the last one. At the bottom draw a cone shape.
Step 2
At the top of each line draw 2 ovals, like seen above.
Step 3
Now connect each set of ovals with 2 lines so that it looks like a cylinder shape (tube shape).
Step 4
Now draw the form / mass around the stick / skeleton menorah drawing that we made in step #1. Also turn the a bit when you go from a straight edge to the cylinder shape, and also at the bottom where it turns from straight to the cone.
Step 5
Color the form in gray.
Step 6
Take white and highlight the form where I have.
Step 7
Now find a darker gray and color in shadows where I have.Blend a bit.
Step 8 – Draw Black Outline
Now draw a black outline around the menorah. Have a great Hanukkah guys…now you can draw a Menorah on your Hanukkah cards.

I just stumbled on your website, for “how to draw a Hanukkah menorah.” You might want to know that you indeed did draw a menorah (7 branches). But, for Hanukkah, you would want a different candelabra — one for 9 candles total, it is more accurately called a “chanukiah” although most people don’t make that distinction. In any case, the candelabra you show is most definitely not used for the 8-night holiday of Hanukkah. Happy Hanukkah.
