Illustrator Instructions: Drawing Hummingbirds Collecting Nectar

To create a fun and vibrant illustration showing hummingbirds collecting nectar, follow these steps carefully so that it will be engaging and easy for a 7-year-old student to understand and enjoy.

1. Start with the Background: Draw a simple soft green and blue background to represent trees and sky respectively. Keep it light so that the hummingbirds will stand out clearly.
2. Draw the Flowers: Sketch bright, colorful flowers such as trumpet-shaped or tubular flowers, which hummingbirds like. Use reds, pinks, yellows, and oranges to make them vibrant and eye-catching. Make sure the flowers have a visible center where the nectar would be.
3. Sketch the Hummingbirds: Draw small birds with long thin beaks, curved as if they are hovering next to the flowers. Show their wings in motion by drawing slightly blurred or curved wing shapes to indicate fast movement.
4. Add Details: Color the hummingbirds with iridescent colors like greens, blues, and purples. Add tiny eyes, and emphasize their delicate feathers. Make sure their beaks are close to the flower’s nectar.
5. Make it Interactive: You might add some drops of nectar or little sparkles around the flowers to show sweetness and attraction.
6. Final Touches: Outline the hummingbirds and flowers with a thin black line to help the elements pop out clearly on the page.

This way, your illustration will beautifully show hummingbirds collecting nectar in a way that is colorful, detailed, but still simple enough for a 7-year-old to enjoy and learn from.
