Lion Face With Curling Mane Tufts, Adult Coloring Detail

A lion's face looks straight out from the page, framed by a big mane made of long, curling tufts that flick outward at the tips. Every part of the head is filled with small zentangle-style patterns, including tiny dots, scales, leaf shapes, swirls, and lines. The eyes are round and calm, the nose is wide, and the muzzle has rows of dotted circles and curved stripes. A diamond shape sits between the brows, with more patterned shapes running down the forehead. Because the sections are so small, fine-tip markers, gel pens, or sharp colored pencils work best. Try shading the mane from gold at the roots to deep orange or brown at the tips, then pick two or three contrasting colors for the patterns on the face. This free printable suits teens and adults who enjoy slow, focused coloring.
