Giraffes by the leafy tree

A giraffe reaches toward a leafy branch while a smaller calf looks up beside it. Open coat patches and a broad tree trunk balance the smaller leaves, grass and distant trees.

How much detail?

Coat patches, leaf clusters and grass tufts add detail around the broad tree trunk and open sky. About the labels.

Use matching coat colors for the pair and two greens to separate the leaves from the grass below.

A small coloring tip

Pencils help with the smaller coat patches and leaves; crayons work on the larger tree trunk and open sky.

Imagine which leaf the calf would choose if it could reach.
