Zentangle Lion in Profile Inside a Flower Wreath

A lion faces left in side profile, its eyes lowered and its whiskers drawn in fine lines. Instead of a regular mane, its head and neck are built from small flowers, leaves, swirls and spiral centers, with a flower tucked beside the ear. An oval frame of triangle patterns and dotted beads surrounds the lion. A dark ribbon with loops and tassel-like drops winds across the top and down the right side. A large leafy plant sits above the frame, and a cluster of big flowers, feathery leaves and polka dot petals fills the bottom corner. A small snail with a spiral shell sits inside the frame on the left. Since the page is free to print, you could try colored pencils or fine markers. Pick two or three color families for the flower mane, then use a different shade for each petal pattern so the lion's head stands out from the frame. The detail suits older kids and adults who like slow, careful coloring.
