Mighty Maned Lion

Here stands the lion in all its glory: a proud male shown in profile with a full, flowing mane wrapped around his head and shoulders, a strong body, four sturdy legs, and a long tail ending in a tufted tip. His expression is calm and confident, every inch the king of the beasts. The big mane is the star of the page, giving colorists a generous area to fill with rich, layered tones, while the smooth body and legs stay simple. This page works for a wide range of ages, easy enough for younger kids and rewarding for older ones who want to shade the fur. A lion's mane grows darker and fuller with age and health, and it helps him look bigger to rivals. Print this mighty fellow on US Letter or A4 paper and crown him in deep golds and browns.
