28 Easy Weather Step by Step Drawing Tutorials

In many places, autumn weather is windy, wet, and chilly. Do you get the sense of a cold and windy day from the motion lines of the wind and the falling fruit and leaves?

Fog is water vapor in the air that condenses near the ground - it's like a low-flying cloud. In this picture, the fog has settled at the base of the mountains on a wet, cool morning.

If you're in need of a snow day, this is it. You can see the whipping wind and falling snow in this winter scene with near-whiteout conditions.

Weather doesn't just happen during the day - it happens at night, too. This clear night sky is marked by a few cumulus and stratus clouds.

Zap! Crack! You can almost hear the thunder rolling from this storm cloud drawing. It has a sky full of cumulonimbus clouds and several streaks of jagged lightning.

Sometimes rain clouds like the ones above lead to a flood like this one. Dark clouds still fill the sky and lines of rain streak down as people seek help on rooftops and floating debris.

In the transition between a rain shower and the sun coming out, rainbows often appear. Did you know? When rain bends sunlight to form a rainbow, the colors are always in the same order - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

Above, you've learned how to draw rain - even too much of it. Now try your hand at the opposite - what happens to the land when there is not enough rain. Look at the leafless tree and the cracks in the dry ground.

Drip, drip, drop, little April showers... this gentle rain is just what parched ground needs to spring back to life.

Above, you drew thunderclouds in the sky. But what is happening on the ground? See what happens to the trees in the wind and rain during a storm.

Rain and sun have to work together to create a rainbow. This fun illustration shows their cooperation in their smiling facings and hand-holding.

How do scientists learn about the weather? With tools like this one! The cups catch the wind, making the device spin to measure the speed of the wind.

Decorate your classroom or your calendar for the snowy season with this complex, fractal snowflake. Can you make every snowflake you draw just a little bit different? No two snowflakes are just alike.

Weathervanes are another tool to learn about the weather. They turn to indicate the direction of the wind.

Leaves fall in autumn, but the weather has an impact on when and how fast they fall. In this picture, the wind is helping rid the tree of its leaves in a hurry.

What does rain look like when it falls into a puddle on the ground? With this drawing, take a close-up look at the beauty of a few individual raindrops.

No two snowflakes look alike - you can add this one to your collection. This snowflake is personified with big eyes and a smiling mouth.

Tsunamis are rare weather events caused by underwater earthquakes. Look out! The huge, towering wave is headed straight toward the coastal city!

Fluffy clouds and distant birds fill this stretch of sky. What is the weather like? That all depends on how you color the sky and the clouds.

The water cycle explains how weather happens - the sun evaporates water from the sea, it condenses into clouds and rains down. Then rivers return to the sea. This diagram can help you with your next school science project.

There's no better way to enjoy a rainy day than by splashing around in a puddle! Record this fun moment by drawing yourself and a friend decked out with rubber boots, raincoats, and umbrellas.

In cartoons and in real life, white, fluffy clouds can set a cheerful scene. Use overlapping curved lines to enclose the cumulus cloud.

Hurricanes are huge cyclonic storms that form over the ocean. Use curved lines to indicate the motion of the wind. Then, check out another type of cyclone - the tornado listed below.

Don't let a little rain ruin your day - draw it instead! Enjoy the pitter-patter of the rain as you sketch this person in their boots, coat, and umbrella.

Umbrellas are useful tools, and they are easy to draw. This umbrella consists entirely of curved lines.

Use overlapping curved lines to draw this collection of near and distant clouds. Notice the swirling patterns caused by the wind.

There is nothing more peaceful than now falling slowly and silently on a winter night. Capture the scene, complete with a cottage, a snowman, and a forest in the distance.

Tornadoes can be dangerous weather events. They happen when storms begin to rotate, causing high winds. You can see the lines indicating rotation in this drawing.
