Learn More About The Virus Drawing
What's the scariest thing you can think of to draw? For some people, it might be a coronavirus like the one pictured in this virus drawing guide.
Viruses come in many shapes and sizes. They are made from proteins, and scientists still debate whether they are alive - they do some of the things that living things do, but not others. Viruses are even smaller than other microorganisms, like the one in this bacteria drawing.
The round shape and spiky proteins give this type of virus its name. 'Corona' means 'crown.' The spikes resemble a crown. So 'coronavirus' means 'crown-shaped virus.'
During cold and flu season, you can make a poster reminding others how to be safe and stay well. Learn how to draw washing hands to add that reminder to your campaign.
You can even learn how to draw a face mask. When you're sick, wearing a mask can keep the viruses in your mucus and saliva from getting to other people when you sneeze.
