speed lines
Drawn movement indicators
Speed lines are visual marks in comics, manga, and animation that indicate rapid movement.
They typically appear as parallel streaks radiating from or trailing behind a moving object or character, creating the illusion of motion on a static page.
The technique has spread to memes and casual digital imagery to suggest someone zooming past: I added speed lines to make my cat look like he's running at Mach 5.
