Lion in the tall grass

A gentle lion rests with its front paws together and its tail curled beside it. Broad mane sections make it easy to build a warm, golden palette.

How much detail?

The face, mane sections and paws are broad, with very little background detail. About the labels.

Try this palette: Golden rest

Use gold for the face and a deeper orange for the mane, keeping the paws lighter.

A small coloring tip

Broad crayons work well in the mane sections; keep a pointed pencil for the nose and small paw lines.

Choose one mane section for a surprise color and repeat it only in the tail tuft.
