Buck Deer Mid-Stride with Wide Finger-Like Antlers

A single buck is drawn in side view, facing left with its head raised and its ears up. Large antlers with wide, flat, finger-like points rise from its head, and a couple of smaller spikes stand in front of them. The deer is caught mid-stride, with its front legs tucked forward and its back legs stretched out behind, hooves pointing down. A few light lines mark the neck, shoulder, and haunch, and a small eye and dark nose stand out on the face. There is no background, so the whole page is the animal. The big open body is easy to color in. Try warm browns for the coat and a lighter tan on the belly, then talk about why bucks grow antlers and shed them each year. The free printable works well for kids who like animal pages with a little motion.
