Illustrator Instruction for Drawing a Koala with Her Cub for a 7-Year-Old

Let's create a lovely illustration of a koala mom sitting on a tree branch with her cub eating bamboo leaves on her back. Follow these simple steps:

1. Draw the Tree Branch: Start by sketching a strong, curved tree branch. Make sure it’s wide enough so our koala mom can sit comfortably.
2. Draw the Koala Mom: On the branch, draw a round body with fluffy ears. Give her a big oval nose and two big eyes to make her look cute. Add her arms and legs wrapped gently around the branch.
3. Add the Cub on Her Back: Behind the mom, draw a smaller koala cub holding onto her. Show the cub’s head and tiny paws.
4. Draw the Bamboo Leaves: In the cub’s paws, sketch long, thin bamboo leaves as if the cub is eating them. Use simple leaf shapes, slightly pointed at the ends.
5. Details and Texture: Add soft fur lines to both koalas, and draw the tree bark with a few rough lines.
6. Coloring: Use grey tones for the koalas, brown for the tree branch, and green for the bamboo leaves.

Remember to keep the shapes simple and fun — this will make it easier and enjoyable for a 7-year-old to follow!
