Young Deer Glancing Back as Christmas Snow Falls

A young deer stands in profile with its head turned toward the viewer, large antlers branching out above its pointed ears. Its body is filled with zentangle style patterns, including layered feather shapes, zigzag bands, teardrops, and small scallops, while the slender legs have narrow teardrop details. Around the deer float sixteen snowflakes of different sizes. Some have simple six-pointed shapes with diamond tips, and a few have more ornate arms with small rounded details at the ends. The patterns are small enough to keep adults busy, but the outlines are clean and easy to follow. Try coloring each pattern section on the deer in a different shade from one palette, such as cool blues and silvers, then leave the snowflakes lighter so the animal stands out. This free printable works well with fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils.
