Crowned Lion Face Covered in Sugar Skull Style Swirls

A front-facing lion head fills the page, with its whole face and mane covered in swirls, paisley shapes, dots, leaves and small flowers. The eyes are drawn with decorative lashes and layered petal shapes, and a tiny crown sits on the forehead above a leaf shape. A solid black nose and a dotted muzzle sit in the center of the face. Around it, the mane flows out in pointed tufts, with a large flower at the top, a star on each side, and more flowers and leaf outlines near the bottom. This one suits older kids, teens and adults who like detailed work. Try a warm palette of golds and oranges for the mane, then pick two bright contrasting colors for the flowers, stars and eyes so they stand out. The printable page also works well with fine tip markers or colored pencils.
