Baby Deer Fawn Standing in Tall Grass Coloring Page

Grass surrounds the fawn on every side, rising past its chest and reaching almost to the top corners of the sheet. The blades are long and slim and they lean in different directions, so the background is busy without ever being hard, and a colorist can move through it quickly with broad strokes. The fawn stands in the middle looking out. Its ears stick straight out to the sides, large and cupped, with a few short lines inside each one. Rings of open circles run over its back, shoulder and head, and because they are outlines rather than dots you can decide whether to fill them, ring them, or leave them as bare paper. Any of the three works. The legs are slender and set a little apart, and the face carries a dark nose and two large eyes with clear lashes. A good plan is to keep the fawn in a warm light tone and push the grass darker behind it, which stops the animal from disappearing into all those blades. This is the gentlest sheet in the deer group.
