🍁 Day 17: How to Draw a Fall Waterfall!

Zero Spook Fall Fun

The forests of Glipwood are turning gold, and the streams are full to bursting. You can almost hear the laughter of river nibbins and the roar of the mighty falls of Aerwiar! Today, we’ll capture that movement and magic in your sketchbook.


✏️ Step 1: The First Drop

Start with a tall, flowing line — one graceful curve that tumbles downward. Imagine the river cresting over the edge of a mossy cliff, sparkling in the autumn sun.


✏️ Step 2: Friends Join the Flow

Add two or three more tall lines beside it. Each one is a different stream joining the fall — a little uneven, a little wild. Water, like imagination, doesn’t flow in straight lines.


✏️ Step 3: The Edge of the Cliff

Gently connect your lines at the top with soft arches — that’s where the water spills over the rock. Maybe add a few bumps or cracks in the cliffside; Aerwiar’s waterfalls have plenty of character!


✏️ Step 4: The Splash Below

Draw a puffy cloud at the bottom — this is the mist and foam. It’s the laughter of the river meeting the pool below. Let it be big and bouncy, like a thwapsquirrel’s tail!


✏️ Step 5: Add the Magic

Now bring your waterfall to life! Add sparkles, tiny motion lines, and maybe a few swirling autumn leaves. You can even draw a brave traveler standing nearby — perhaps Leeli playing her whistleharp, or a little creature hiding behind the rocks.


🌊✨ Wingfeather Twist:

Maybe this is The Singing Falls of Aerwiar, where the water hums a lullaby that only true-hearted adventurers can hear. Or maybe it hides a secret cave — the kind that glows when moonlight hits the mist just right.

Whatever your story, let your pencil flow like the waterfall itself — fearless, free, and full of wonder.
