Here is what the finished bolts look like when you are all done. Now you can go ahead and color them in, and then that’s all. You now have yourself some awesome lightning bolts that can be used for anything you wish.
How to Draw a Lightning Bolt
Thunder and lightning are common during the rainy season. A lightning bolt is basically the zigzag line that tears across the sky. The blinding flash has been depicted by a simple step by step sketch in this drawing activity.
Step 1: Make a triangular shape.
Step 2: Make another triangle below it.
Step 3: Draw a slanting line underneath.
Step 4: Sketch another line extending upwards.
Step 5: Draw another triangle complementing the second one.
Step 6: This triangle complements the first one.
Step 7: Sketch a straight line.
Step 8: You can now color the lightning bolt yellow.
As the exercise is heavily dependent on straight lines, you should strive to get them correct through practice. The lightning bolt is a powerful natural phenomenon and kids are fascinated by it. They would be excited to complete the drawing quickly.
Step 2.
You will now draw out the first lightning bolt like you see here, and then draw out the last bolt which is the largest. When that is all done you can then move to the next step.
Step 3.
Now you will draw out the middle bolt just by outlining the single zig zag line you drew in step one. You might as well erase the lines and shapes that you drew in step one.
Step 4.
You can now start sketching in the detailing to add more texture and definition to the bolts like you see here. The detailing should be done along the edges.
