Giraffe Portrait With Daisy Between Horns, Adult Coloring

A giraffe looks out from the left side of the page, with a large daisy-like flower tucked between its two horns. The ears are drawn like leaves, filled with tiny lines and stippled shading. Long lashes frame the dark, round eyes. Across the face and neck, the usual giraffe patches have become flowers, petals and leaves, each filled with fine hatching lines. Small circles and dots dot the forehead and cheeks, a few leaves curl near the mouth, and the mane runs down the neck in short, dense strokes. Try a warm palette of yellows, oranges and browns for the flower patches, then add greens for the leaves and one bright color for the big flower on the head. Fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils work well for the narrow striped sections. This free printable suits older kids and adults who enjoy slow, detailed pages.
