Animals in Their Habitats
A great animal drawing shows the animal in its natural home! Adding a background or habitat makes your drawing tell a story.
Dog: draw it in a backyard with a dog house, a bone, and a fence. Or at a park chasing a ball!
Cat: draw it on a cozy windowsill with curtains, a cushion, and maybe a ball of yarn. Or outside catching butterflies!
Bird: draw it perched on a tree branch with leaves and a nest. Or flying in the sky with clouds.
Fish: draw it underwater with seaweed, bubbles, coral, and other fish. Add blue water all around.
Rabbit: draw it in a grassy meadow with wildflowers and a burrow hole. Or in a garden with carrots!
Butterfly: draw it in a flower garden, landing on a bright flower. Add more butterflies in the background.
Turtle: draw it near a pond with lily pads, rocks, and reeds. Or on a sandy beach.
The habitat gives context and makes the viewer understand where this animal lives and what it does. Even a simple background of grass and sky makes a big difference!
