Majestic Lion Gazing Across the Savanna Past a Baobab
Coloring guide
A grown male lion with a big, shaggy mane stands tall on a flat rock, head turned to the side as he looks off into the distance. On the left, a huge baobab tree with a thick trunk and a wide, branching crown rises behind him, and flat-topped acacia trees dot the savanna. Tufts of grass and small bushes cover the ground, distant mountains sit on the horizon, and puffy clouds drift across the sky. The layered strands of the mane and the tufted tail give colored pencils plenty to do. Golden yellow and warm orange-brown suit the mane, with soft greens for the grass and a pale blue sky.
