Savanna Monarch Coloring Page

Cascading mane strands radiate outward from the lion's head in waves, creating natural sectioning that divides the hair into distinct areas for shading in this printable coloring page. The face shows careful line placement defining the brow, nose bridge, and jaw structure, while the body curves from muscular shoulders down to the haunches. Individual grass blades stretch across the foreground in parallel lines, varying in height and creating depth through layered placement. The mane sections invite varied golden tones-try burnt sienna for shadows where strands overlap, amber for mid-tones, and wheat highlights on outer edges. Grass stalks benefit from mixing yellows and tans at different intensities to prevent monotony across the many similar shapes. The body's muscular contours need careful value shifts to show dimension, while keeping the background sky pale helps the darker lion shape stand out.
