Coloring tips for this lion and cub printable

Use one warm shade for the adult lion and a slightly lighter shade for the cub so the lion and cub look related but still easy to tell apart.
Add a darker brown to the tail tuft and a few small outline areas to give the lion and cub a little more depth.
Keep the savannah trees and grass clumps in just two or three greens so the lion and cub stay the main focus of the coloring page.
Try sand, warm gray, or light beige on the rocks and hills to support the dry savannah setting without making the lion and cub scene feel too dark.
If young children use markers on this lion and cub printable, fill the large body areas first and finish the bushes and grass last to help avoid smudging.
