Illustration Instructions for a 6-Year-Old: Saguaro with an Elf Owl

Let's create a fun and friendly drawing of a saguaro cactus with an elf owl peeking out of a hollow! Here’s how you can draw it step by step:

1. Start with the Saguaro Cactus:
   Draw a big, tall cactus in the middle of your page. It looks like a green tall column with two arms sticking out on the sides. Don't forget to make it nice and thick!
2. Add the Hollow:
   Now, draw a small oval shape on the main trunk of the cactus. This will be the hollow - like a little door where the owl lives.
3. Draw the Elf Owl’s Big Eyes:
   Inside the hollow, draw two big, round eyes looking out. Make the eyes big to show that the owl is curious and friendly!
4. Make the Owl’s Face:
   Around the eyes, draw a small circle or oval to make the owl’s face. You can add a tiny beak below the eyes.
5. Add Details:
   Put little lines on the cactus arms and body to show the cactus spikes (don’t make them too sharp or scary). You can also draw some small rocks or the desert ground below the cactus.
6. Color Your Drawing:
   Use green for the cactus, brown or grey for the hollow inside, and make the owl’s eyes bright yellow or orange to make them stand out!

Remember to have fun and add your own details to make your drawing special!
