Lightning is an electrical discharge that got its name thanks to the impressive light effect that occurs when it appears. Lightning occurs when the air between two clouds or between a cloud and the ground is charged with an electrostatic charge of too much force.
Under the influence of electric fields, charges begin to move so fast that in the blink of an eye, an electrical discharge runs through the air between the positive and negative clouds or between the cloud and the ground, creating a dazzling light effect that we call lightning or a lightning strike!
Also, when a lightning strike occurs, we hear a very loud sound—this is due to the shockwave that occurs when the air, heated by the electric current, expands.
The process of drawing lightning is very simple, as we need to draw a cartoonish lightning using straight lines. Let’s start this exciting process!
