Bull Moose in Profile With Wide Wavy Antlers, Animals of the North

A single moose stands in profile facing left, with its head slightly lowered and one eye visible above a long, rounded snout. Two broad, flat antlers spread out from the top of its head, and their edges are cut into wavy points that leave lots of room for color. Shaggy lines hang from the throat as a beard, and a few jagged strokes on the chest and shoulder suggest thick fur. One ear sticks out beside the antlers. The long, thin legs end in small hooves, and the front leg is stepped forward as if the moose is mid-walk. The background is plain white. Try browns and warm grays for the body, then use a lighter tan on the antlers so the pointed edges stand out. It also works well for a short lesson on how moose differ from deer.
