step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 1

1. Draw a squiggly line near the left side of the page. Take the line downward into a vertical line, then sketch a smaller squiggly line to start the root. Add a flatter squiggly line underneath.

Use a similar process to outline the left root with an uneven triangle. This should look similar to this cartoon drawing guide of willow tree roots.

Finally, outline your cartoon drought picture with black ink. Use lines of varying thickness for the cracks to make them more realistic. Color the ground light brown with dark brown for the tree, reddish-brown for the hills, blue for the sky and pale yellow for the sun.

Use different shades to add shadows to everything, including the cracks on the ground.

Learn More About The Drought Drawing

A drought is a weather condition where rainfall is scarce, causing the land to dry out. Learn how to draw a drought with a few coloring tools.

People and animals find it hard to live in droughts because they have limited water access. Plants dry up, and the ground hardens so that people can't grow more. Sometimes, people have no choice but to move away.

Fortunately, you can learn about this weather condition without actually experiencing a drought by drawing his cartoon.

Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.

You'll use jagged and squiggly lines to make the trees and dry ground look realistic. At the end, you'll only need a circle for the sun.

Afterward, test your new skills by drawing another cartoon landscape, such as a mountain range drawing.
