When you illustrate, it’s like you are telling a story with pictures instead of words. Imagine you want to explain how your day was to a friend, but you can’t use any words. You draw a picture of the sun to show it was sunny, a picture of a playground to show you played outside, and a picture of a sandwich to show what you had for lunch. Each picture helps your friend understand your story without needing to say anything.
Think of it like being a magician with a pencil. You can make things appear on paper that help people see what you are thinking. If you want to show how a flower grows, you draw a little seed, then a sprout, and finally a big, colorful flower. Your drawings help people see the whole process, like magic!
Illustrating is also like being a director of a movie. You decide what the characters look like, what the setting is, and how the story unfolds. Your drawings are like the scenes in a movie, and you get to decide how everything looks and feels. It’s a fun way to share your ideas and imagination with others!
