Stag With Branching Antlers in an Arched Glass Panel Coloring Page

A stag faces straight out of an arched window, antlers spread wide enough that the tines reach past the inner frame and into the arch itself. That overlap is the strongest thing about the composition. The antlers are drawn as long closed shapes with clear forks, so each beam and tine is a separate area you can shade in sequence from base to tip.

The head carries the closest detail on the page. Short strokes model the brow and muzzle, the ears are cut into inner and outer panes, and the neck below falls in a long sweep of fine fur lines rather than closed cells. Two solid dots mark the eyes and a dark patch marks the nose.

That fur run is the one place to slow down. It takes a pencil well and fights a broad marker, so plan on a sharpened point for the neck and markers for everything else.

The window around the animal stays deliberately plain: a wide arch head left open, a column of rectangular border cells down each side, and a row of them along the base. Those border cells are your color story. Pick one hue, run it round the frame, and leave the stag warm and pale against it. Set aside thirty five minutes for the antlers and the neck.
