Young Deer Taking a Careful Step in Profile

A young deer stands in profile facing left, with one front leg lifted and bent as if it is taking a careful step. The big round eye has long lashes and a shiny highlight, and the rounded nose curves up into a small smile. Two antlers with rounded points sit on top of the head, and both large ears show an inner ear shape. A row of oval spots runs across the back, and a short tail with a fluffy tip flicks up at the rear. The lines are clean and bold, so the page works well for younger kids. Try soft browns for the body, a lighter tan inside the ears, and cream or yellow for the spots so they stand out. Older children can add grass or trees around the deer on the empty background.
