Japanese Woodblock Prints: Hokusai's Wave

Study Hokusai's wave. Notice the curling water, the tiny boats, and Mount Fuji in the background.

Draw a wave-inspired scene with bold, flowing lines. Emphasize the curves and energy of water.

Color with flat areas—no gradients within a single color area. Use blue, white, and touches of other colors.

Add fine line details with a thin marker or pen to mimic the carved line quality of woodblock prints.
