Antelope Leaping Through a Pine Mountain Mandala

A long-horned antelope leaps across the middle of a round mandala, front legs reaching forward and back legs stretched behind it. Its two ridged horns sweep back over its body, and curly spiral swirls mark its shoulder and hip. Wavy lines run along its neck and chest, and a thin tail trails out behind. Behind the animal sits a big flower shape with rows of layered, pointed petals. Around the edge, triangular mountain peaks alternate with small pine trees, and long narrow leaf shapes fill the outer ring inside a simple circle border. Try coloring the petals in a gradient from the center outward, then keep the antelope in plain earthy browns so it stands out. The mountains and pines also make a nice starting point for a quick chat about animals that live in rocky highlands. The free printable works well with colored pencils or fine markers.
