Would you like to explore a deep, dark cave? Learn how to draw a cave with the help of this cartoon scenery drawing tutorial.

A cave or cavern is defined as "a natural void in the ground." Most caves are made of stone and are large enough for a person to enter.

Caves often harbor fascinating geological structures, including stalactites, stalagmites, and even crystals.

Do animals live in caves? Yes, they do! Bats, bears, and other creatures often use caves as a refuge. Even people have taken shelter in caves. Ancient peoples left various artifacts and cave drawings behind.

There are other animals that spend all their time inside caves. These include insects, arachnids, and small fish.

Many permanent cave dwellers are blind - they do not need eyes as the cave environment has too little light to see. Instead, they use their other senses to move around and find food.

Exploring caves is known as caving or spelunking. Many caves around the world offer tours.

Some are very unique, featuring underground boats, crawling through small spaces, or even dining. Some people even scuba dive in ocean caves.

Don't keep us in the dark! It's time to show off your cave drawing skills.
