What's In This Picture
As you look at the page, your eyes are immediately drawn to the mother giraffe and her baby calf. Their long necks and distinctive patterns are waiting for your favorite colors. Below their hooves, the ground is covered in patches of grass that stretch toward the background. Scattered throughout the scene are flat-topped savanna trees, which provide shade for the animals. In the distance, rolling hills sit beneath a sky filled with soft, fluffy clouds. Every element, from the small tufts of hair on the giraffes' heads to the leaves on the branches, adds detail to this wild habitat.
Coloring Tips
Giraffes are famous for their unique patterns, so you might want to use a light yellow or tan for their base coat and a darker brown for their spots. To make the baby giraffe look even softer, try using lighter shades than the adult. The savanna trees look great with deep green leaves and textured brown trunks. For the landscape, consider using golden yellows and dry greens to mimic the look of the African plains. If you want a sunny feel, a bright blue for the sky and soft purple or blue for the distant hills will create a sense of depth and space.
Did You Know?
Did you know that a baby giraffe is called a calf? These amazing creatures are already about six feet tall when they are born. Even though they are very big, they can stand up and start walking within just thirty minutes of arriving into the world. This helps them stay safe while they follow their mothers through the tall grass of the savanna.
Try This!
After you finish coloring, you could try drawing some other savanna animals like a lion or a zebra in the background. You might also want to give these two giraffes names and write a short story about their day wandering through the tall grass in search of the tastiest leaves at the very top of the trees.
