In this article, let’s learn how to draw a rainbow with clouds. This is an easy cartoon-style drawing, and it’s particularly good for celebrating holidays like St. Patrick’s Day. I’ll guide you through each step clearly and simply, making it easy to complete your rainbow drawing.
What to Pay Attention to When Drawing a Cartoon Rainbow
- A classic curved arch shape for the rainbow.
- Evenly spaced lines forming each color band of the rainbow.
- Smooth curves for a neat and appealing appearance.
- Two fluffy cartoon clouds positioned at the ends of the rainbow arch.
- Clear distinction between each rainbow color – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
- Simple highlights on clouds for a soft and fluffy effect.
