Zebra Standing in the Tall Grass Coloring Page

The zebra stands square to the viewer with its head up and ears forward, and its stripes arrive filled in rather than left as outlines. That is worth knowing before you print. The animal itself is mostly finished, which turns this into a different kind of sheet: the work is in the grass, and the coloring you add sits around a subject that already has its pattern. Some find that frustrating and others find it restful, since there is no risk of ruining the stripes. Tall blades fill the entire bottom third of the page, crossing and bending in every direction, and there are enough separate blades there to keep a colorist busy for a long stretch. A stiff mane runs along the neck in short spikes and the tail hangs down at the right with a dark tuft. The muzzle is dark as well. Try a warm gold or a dry season brown in the grass rather than a bright green. It contrasts far better with a black and white animal and makes the whole page feel like open savannah.
