- 1
Draw one cloud shape. A loop or wobble works.
- 2
Under it, draw an unusual kind of rain: triangles, noodles, or floating dots.
- 3
Draw one thing growing below it and name the forecast. Perhaps umbrella flowers love noodle showers.
Short on energy? Draw the cloud and imagine what falls from it.
A good place to stop: One cloud, one kind of rain, and one growing thing are enough.
Make it work for you: Use large marks and rest your forearm. You can describe the forecast aloud instead of drawing.
Another route: Make a sunny forecast with two suns and something that enjoys them.
