How should you color this page?

Begin by choosing your color scheme. You may want to use traditional tiger colors or create your own fantastical creature. Here are some suggested color names with HEX codes to guide you:

• Tiger Orange: #F96E1B
• Forest Canopy Green: #2D5016
• Shadow Black: #1A1A1A
• Sunlight Yellow: #F4D35E
• Earth Brown: #6B4423
• Sky Blue (for background accents): #87CEEB

Start with lighter base colors and gradually add layers and darker shades for depth. Consider using different techniques for the tiger's fur versus the textured tree bark and leafy foliage.

What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Fur Texture: Use short, directional strokes to mimic the tiger's fur, following the contours of its body.
• Forest Depth: Color the foreground elements (like leaves and the tiger) with brighter, more saturated colors. Use slightly lighter or muted tones for background trees to create a sense of distance.
• Stripes: The tiger's stripes are not just black; add hints of dark brown (#1A1A1A) or deep grey for a more natural look. They can be thicker on the back and legs, thinning out around the stomach.
• Highlights: Leave tiny areas white or use a very light yellow (#F4D35E) on the tiger's fur, especially along its back, cheek, and the top of leaves, to suggest sunlight filtering through the trees.
