Alert Leopard Sitting Near Tree Branch with Leaves

A leopard sits with its body turned to the right while its head looks off toward the left, eyes wide and mouth slightly open so a few teeth show. Long whiskers fan out from its muzzle, and fluffy fur frames the chin and chest. Spots cover the head, shoulders, back, and legs. Near the head they are small and dotted, and across the body they grow into larger rounded shapes with plenty of variety. A thick, knobby branch stretches across the bottom left corner, and a leafy twig hangs from the top right. Try colored pencils in golden yellows and warm browns for the coat, then leave the spots dark or fill each one with a different shade. Kids can also practice noticing how spot size changes from the face to the body. This free page works well for animal units or quiet table time.
