Guys do you know where rivers come from? The water in rivers is a combination of rainfall, melted water from snow-covered mountains and groundwater.

When more and more of this water accumulates in a certain place, it starts to flow towards the lower parts of the ground. During the flow of water there is a constant flow of new rainfall, groundwater and streams. After a long period of erosion of the soil by the flow of water, the river is finally formed.

What you may not realize is that the water in a river flows unevenly, with the water located right in the middle of the river flowing the fastest.

Rivers have brought important wealth to mankind in terms of transportation, irrigation, power generation and aquaculture. The formation of most oases in desert areas is also closely linked to rivers.

For today's drawing tutorial, let's learn how to draw a river. In addition to the water, we will also draw the riverbanks, rocks, trees and the sky.

Also, if you are interested, you can try to draw small fish in the water, small animals and flowers on the river bank and birds in the sky. Come and try it out!
