What's In This Picture

At the center of the page, you will find a large, friendly capybara standing proudly in a big puddle. The capybara is dressed for the weather in a long raincoat complete with a pulled-up hood and sturdy rain boots on its feet. Above the capybara, a fluffy cloud is busy releasing several large rain drops that are falling toward the ground. In the background, you can see the outlines of leafy trees and small bushes, creating a cozy forest setting for our animal friend. The water in the puddle features small ripples to show exactly where the capybara is standing.

Coloring Tips

Since the capybara is the star, you might want to use warm brown or tan shades for its fur. For the raincoat and boots, bright and bold colors like yellow, red, or even a neon green will make the character pop against the softer background. You can use light blues or purples for the puddle and the rain drops to give them a watery look. For the cloud, a soft gray or a very light blue works perfectly. If you want to add some texture, try using small circular strokes for the capybara fur and smooth, long strokes for the shiny plastic texture of the raincoat. This page has moderate line density, making it easy to stay within the lines.

Did You Know?

Capybaras are the largest rodents in the whole world and they are excellent swimmers. They have slightly webbed feet which help them paddle through the water with ease. Because they spend so much time in lakes and rivers, a rainy day like the one in this picture is actually their favorite kind of weather. They are very social animals and are known for being friends with almost every other animal.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, you could draw a bright rainbow appearing behind the cloud once the rain stops. You might also want to draw some little frog friends jumping into the puddle next to the capybara. It is also fun to count all the raindrops falling from the sky or name the trees in the background to create a whole story about the capybara forest home.
