Waterfall Scene Behind a Smiling Tiger Portrait

Coloring guide
This detailed portrait shows a big-eyed tiger facing straight ahead, with rounded ears, fluffy cheek fur, long whiskers and a smiling mouth. Curving stripes sweep over the forehead, cheeks and chest, which is nice practice for kids who like neat, flowing lines. Behind the tiger sits a small sun above a mountain, plus rolling bushy hills, a waterfall on the right and calm water in front of it. Big flowers with leaves fill the top and bottom corners, and more leafy plants frame the sides. Bold stripes mixed with smaller scenery details make it a good match for older kids and anyone planning a longer coloring session. Orange for the tiger with deep brown stripes goes well with soft blues on the waterfall and pink or yellow blossoms. Print this free page for a quiet creative break. Love this Tiger coloring page?
