Drawing is a fun and creative way to express yourself! Today, we are going to learn how to draw a meteor. Grab your drawing tools, and let’s get started!
Start by drawing a bumpy shape on the bottom left of your paper. It can be big or small, like a funny potato. Add little holes or bumps inside to make it look interesting.
Now, let’s draw the fiery trail behind the meteor. Draw some flame shapes coming from the back of the meteor. You can add more flames in front and below the meteor too!
To help us, draw a small dot in the top right corner of your paper. This will show us where the flames should go.
Start at the guide point and draw a curvy line that goes back to the meteor. Add more flames along the way, connecting them to the meteor’s tail.
Now, let’s draw a smaller meteor. Follow the same steps, but make it a bit smaller. Remember to add the little holes and bumps inside.
For the smaller meteor, draw the fire trail again. Make a zigzag line that connects back to the guide point.
It’s time to add color! Use red, yellow, and orange to make the flames bright and fiery. You can color the meteors gray to make them look like metal.
Great job! You’ve drawn and colored your meteors. They might look like flaming potatoes, but that’s what makes them fun! Try different shapes and colors to create your own special meteors. Enjoy drawing and have fun!
Observation Walk: Take a walk outside with a family member or friend and look up at the sky. Can you spot any clouds that look like meteors? Use your imagination and describe what the clouds remind you of. Draw a picture of your favorite cloud shape when you get back home. This will help you see how shapes in nature can inspire your drawings.
Meteor Story Time: Create a short story about a meteor’s journey through space. What adventures does it have? Where is it going? Share your story with your class or family. You can draw pictures to go along with your story. This activity will help you think about the meteor’s path and how it might look as it travels through space.
Color Experiment: Gather some crayons or colored pencils and experiment with mixing colors to create the fiery look of a meteor’s trail. Try blending red, yellow, and orange to see what new colors you can make. Use these colors to draw another meteor with a unique fire trail. This will help you understand how colors can be combined to create different effects in your drawings.
