Young Deer Looking Back Over Its Shoulder

A slender deer stands with its body angled away while its long neck curves around and its head turns to the left. The drawing shows two large upright ears with inner ear lines, a single watchful eye, a small nose, and a gentle line for the mouth. The back is rounded, with a few curved lines marking the haunch and the white patch near the tail. Four thin legs end in small hooves, and two of them are drawn farther back. There is no background, so the whole page is open for your own ideas. Try soft browns and tans for the coat, with a lighter shade on the rump and chest. It also works well for a short nature lesson on how deer use their big ears and alert eyes to notice sounds and movement. This free printable suits quiet afternoons at home or in the classroom.
