Learn More About The Tsunami Drawing
A tsunami is a giant wave that crashes onto coastlines. Learn how to draw a tsunami just like the ones you see in movies.
Tsunamis can happen after an earthquake or volcano eruption. This cartoon drawing uses sweeping curves to show how big and powerful the wave is. You'll make the palm trees bend to the side to show the wind's incredible power.
Try writing a story about your tsunami drawing. Where does this take place? Did everyone evacuate the city on time?
