Mother Tiger With Her Two Cubs in Tall Grass Coloring Page

Three animals share this page and none of them overlap. The adult takes the center and most of the width, drawn with the head turned toward you and heavy stripes running down the flank. A small cub stands low at the left edge, barely up to its mother's shoulder. The second cub sits upright at the right, front paws together, tail curled around beside it. Tall grass rises behind all three in long single strokes, so the background reads as habitat without swallowing the animals.

Size is the story, and color can make it clearer. Use your firmest pressure on the adult and go lighter on both cubs. The eye reads the paler animals as smaller and further back even where the drawing puts them level.

There is a lot of stripe work here for one sheet, so allow half an hour or more and expect an older child or an adult to be the one who finishes it.

A tiger cub is born blind and helpless, opens its eyes at about a week, and stays with its mother for roughly two years before it leaves to find territory of its own. The size gap drawn on this page covers a matter of months.
