Ornate Giraffe Head With Mandala Patterns

A giraffe faces straight forward, its head and long neck filled with tiny mandala-style patterns. A large flower-like mandala sits on the forehead, and smaller layered petals, scales and dots run down the nose and neck. The two ears have fine petal designs, the ossicones on top end in tufts of hair, and the big eyes have long lashes. The nose area is mostly open and speckled with small dots. Around the head, swirling scrollwork and leafy flourishes spread out like decorative wings. The lines are thin and detailed, so this printable page suits older kids, teens and adults who like patient coloring. Try fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils, using warm yellows and oranges on the face and a contrasting cool shade for the scrollwork so the giraffe stands out from its frame.
