Tom Tumbles Through the Air Shouting in Panic

A cartoon cat tumbles through the air with his mouth wide open in a shout, both arms stretched out and his fingers spread. His legs kick up behind him and his tail curls to a pointed tip. Tufts of fur stick out from his head and wrists. Below him a small mouse with big round ears is flipped upside down, with a wide-open mouth, a pointed nose and long whiskers. Curved motion lines, short dashes and hatch marks around both characters show how fast everything is moving. The lines are bold and the spaces are large, so it works well for crayons and markers. Try gray or blue for Tom and brown for Jerry, then use bright warm colors on the motion lines so the speed really stands out. This free printable also gives kids a fun way to practice drawing action poses.
