Roaring Lion on Top of a Rocky Ledge
Coloring guide
Standing tall on a rocky outcrop, this male lion tilts his head up and opens his mouth in a big roar, with teeth and tongue showing. His mane is full and shaggy, with lots of pointed tufts around the face and chest that make fun sections to color. The tail curls out behind him and ends in a fluffy tuft, and his big paws grip the edge of the rock. Three simple outlined clouds float in the plain sky. Large shapes and clear lines suit kids who don't mind a little detail. Golden yellow and warm orange work for the body, and a deep brown mane will really stand out.
