A bubble is "a globule of one substance in another, usually a gas in a liquid." Bubbles are common to the human experience - we see bubbles of air in water and bubbles of carbonated gas in a glass of soda.

Children especially are fascinated by soap bubbles. These bubbles are produced by mixing soap in water, then forming a thin film of soapy water within a loop.

Air is blown through the loop, and the bubble forms. Bubbles are often used in elementary science experiments.

In popular culture, bubbles are often associated with bubble baths, washing dishes, aquariums, and even disasters such as an overflowing washing machine.

A joyful and excitable personality may be considered "bubbly," and as such a number of characters have been given the name "bubbles." These include a fish from Disney's Finding Nemo, one of The Powerpuff Girls, King Kai's pet monkey in Dragon Ball, and Mr. Bubbles from Lilo & Stitch.

Color Your Bubbles Drawing

How to Draw Bubbles Step 10

Color your cartoon bubbles. Note the unique shading in our example. The bubbles are not just a solid color - blue fades into white, pink, and green. This represents the concept of differential refraction observed in the soap bubble - light reflecting off one side of the bubble interferes with light reflecting from the other side, producing the beautiful rainbow effect.
