Patterned Giraffe With Savanna Plants Coloring Page

Every patch on this giraffe has been given something of its own. One holds a spiral, another a set of concentric rings, a third a tight cluster of dots, and one near the shoulder is a dense coiled rosette packed with fine strokes. No two are filled the same way, so the coat works as a sampler of small pattern exercises running from the jaw down to the hooves.

The animal stands upright and square, head raised and turned to the right, with a lean neck and long legs that keep the body shapes well spaced. Its mane is a thin ridge, the tail hangs with a loose tuft, and the face is drawn simply so it does not compete with the patterning below it.

Around the lower edges of the sheet grow tall savanna plants: fine blades of grass and a scattering of closed buds on slender stems, rising up both sides and meeting across the bottom. They are drawn as single open outlines with white showing through, which keeps the border light against the heavy coat.

This is an adult page. The smallest marks inside the patches need a sharp pencil or a fine liner, and it will take a while, which is the appeal.
