Braided Girl Leaning Toward a Crowned Swan

A girl in profile with closed eyes leans toward a swan wearing a small crown, one hand gently holding its wing. Her long hair is swept into a thick braid decorated with several flowers, and loose wavy strands curl near her face. The swan has big layered wings filled with patterned feathers, and a swallow-like bird flies in the upper left corner. At the bottom, a crowded garden of mandala-style flowers, curling leaves and swirls fills the space, and a butterfly rests on the right side. The tiny patterns are best suited to fine tip markers or sharp colored pencils. Try giving the swan's wing feathers a gradient from pale blue at the base to deep purple at the tips, then pick a different color for each flower so the garden looks like a patchwork. Free to print and good for a quiet afternoon.
