Coloring tips for this zebra printable
- Start with the zebra stripes first, using black or dark gray, then keep the spaces between them bright for a clear striped look.
- Use tan and brown on the giraffe spots to make the two animals look different at a glance.
- Try a darker shade on the hooves, tail tip, and mane to add small points of contrast without making the page too heavy.
- If you use markers, fill the larger body areas lightly so the medium line details around the ears and legs stay easy to see.
- Add a soft blue sky or green ground only if you want, since the high white space already makes the coloring page feel open and calm.
