Endlich Regen, Lustige Bilder! – Drawing Fun in the Rain
Hey there, young artists! Have you ever been bored on a rainy day? Well, today we’re going to turn that rainy boredom into a splash of creative fun! We’re going to learn how to draw funny pictures inspired by the rain. Ready to get started?
Why Draw When It Rains?
Rain can be a bit of a downer, but it’s also a wonderful source of inspiration! Think about it:
- Rain creates movement: Look at the raindrops falling, the wind blowing, and the puddles forming. All this movement is perfect for capturing in your drawings.
- Rain brings out the colors: Have you noticed how the world looks brighter after a rain shower? The colors of the sky, the trees, and even the puddles become more vivid.
- Rain makes you think: Rain can be a peaceful and introspective time. It can inspire you to think about different things, which can then translate into creative ideas for your drawings.
Let’s Get Started!
Step 1: Gathering Your Supplies
- Paper: You can use any kind of paper, but drawing paper is best.
- Pencils: A good set of pencils will allow you to create different shades and lines.
- Erasers: You’ll need an eraser to fix mistakes and make your drawings clean.
- Crayons, Markers, or Colored Pencils: These are for adding color to your drawings.
Step 2: Observing the Rain
- Look out the window: What do you see? Are the raindrops falling straight down, or are they being blown by the wind? What colors do you see in the sky and the ground?
- Listen to the rain: Can you hear the different sounds of the rain? Does it sound like a soft whisper, or a loud drumming? These sounds can inspire your drawings.
Step 3: Drawing Your First Picture
- Start with a simple shape: Maybe a circle for a raindrop, a squiggly line for a worm, or a rectangle for a puddle.
- Add details: What else can you see in the rain? Maybe a bird flying through the air, a snail crawling on a leaf, or a rainbow in the sky.
- Use different lines: Try drawing thick lines for bold features and thin lines for delicate details.
- Experiment with shading: Use your pencil to create different shades of gray to give your drawings depth and dimension.
Step 4: Adding Color
- Choose your favorite colors: What colors do you see in the rain? What colors do you want to use in your drawings?
- Experiment with different techniques: You can use crayons to create solid blocks of color, markers to create smooth blends, or colored pencils to create detailed shading.
Step 5: Sharing Your Art
- Show your drawings to your family and friends: They’ll be amazed by your creativity!
- Create a rainy day art gallery: Hang your drawings on a wall or bulletin board to create a colorful and inspiring display.
