Illustration Guide for a 7-Year-Old: Swimming Capybara with Baby on Back

Let's create a fun and easy illustration of a mommy capybara swimming with her baby!

1. Start with the mommy capybara's head: Draw a big oval shape for her head, with her eyes near the top and a cute round nose sticking out slightly. Remember, her head is popping out of the water, so only draw the head and neck above the water.
2. Add water around her: Draw a wavy line across the page to show the surface of the water. Make sure the mommy’s neck is going into the water below that line.
3. Draw the baby capybara: Right on mommy’s back or swimming next to her, draw a smaller oval for the baby’s body and a round head like the mommy’s but much smaller. Give the baby little eyes and nose too.
4. Show movement: Add small curved lines around the capybaras to show ripples in the water, so it looks like they are swimming happily.
5. Color your drawing: Use brown, light brown, or tan colors for the capybaras’ fur. Use blue for the water, making some ripples darker and some lighter for fun.
6. Extra details: If you want, add some green plants near the water or a sunny sky to make your picture feel lively!

Remember to take your time and have fun drawing your swimming capybaras!
