Baby Elephant Calf With a Curled Trunk Coloring Page

The trunk makes this picture. It curls up and back on itself into a full loop in front of the calf's face, drawn with a ladder of soft wrinkle lines running along its length, and it gives the animal an unmistakably playful look. Two short tusks poke out on either side of it. The ears fan wide from the head, one turned toward you and one angled back, each one a broad open shape with a single curved line inside. There is very little other detail on the body. A few creases mark the tops of the legs and the shoulder, and four round feet carry three or four toenail lines each. The tail flicks out behind with a small tuft. Because the body is so open, this is a good page for experimenting: an elephant does not have to be gray, and a child who colors it purple or blue will not have spoiled anything. The lines are thick, the shapes are large, and there is no background to get in the way.
