How should you color this page?

Begin by choosing your color palette. You may want to use traditional lion colors or create your own unique interpretation. Here are some suggested colors with their HEX codes:

• Golden Yellow (#F6BE00) for the lion’s main fur.
• Burnt Sienna (#E97451) for the mane’s deeper shadows and accents.
• Forest Green (#228B22) for the background jungle leaves.
• Earth Brown (#964B00) for the tree trunks and branches.

Start with lighter base colors and gradually layer darker shades to add depth and dimension.

What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Texture for Fur: Use short, directional strokes to create a realistic fur texture. Layer different shades of yellow, orange, and brown.
• Depth in the Jungle: Color the leaves in the foreground with brighter greens and use darker, muted greens (like #2E8B57) for the background to create a sense of depth.
• Focus on the Eyes: Spend extra time on the lion’s eyes. A combination of amber (#FFBF00) and black can make its gaze look intense and lifelike.
