Close-Up Zebra Portrait With Sparkly Eyes

Coloring guide
This young zebra looks straight at you with big round eyes, long curled lashes and a wide, friendly smile. It's a close-up portrait of the head and the top of the neck. Two large rounded ears stand up, with a fluffy tuft of mane between them, and a spiky mane runs down the back of the neck. Flowing curved stripes wrap around the face, cheeks and neck, so there are lots of sections to fill in. The nose is large and rounded, with two little nostrils. No background here, which keeps the page clean and easy for small hands. Classic black stripes with soft pink inside the ears and on the nose look lovely, or you can go playful with rainbow stripes. Print it at home to add to your growing pile of coloring pages. More like this: explore the Zebra, Chicken and Shark coloring page collections.
