Fun Facts About Gorillas!
A Nose Like No Other
While humans are identified by their fingerprints, researchers identify gorillas by their noses! The artist finds this fascinating because it means every portrait is truly one-of-a-kind. No two gorillas have the same nose print, making each one a unique individual in the wild.
The Knuckle Walk
When coloring these pages, one might notice the gorillas are often posed leaning forward on their hands. This is because they are “knuckle-walkers.” They don’t put their palms flat on the ground; instead, they walk on their knuckles to protect their fingers while navigating the rough forest floor.
Master Builders of the Forest
Gorillas are surprisingly good architects. They don’t sleep in the same spot twice! Every evening, they bend branches and gather soft leaves to build a brand-new nest for a cozy night’s sleep. It’s a daily construction project that keeps them safe and comfortable.
Coloring Tips for Your Gorilla Masterpiece
- Creating Depth in Fur: A gorilla isn’t just flat black. The artist suggests using a mix of dark greys, deep blues, and charcoal blacks. Try using short, directional strokes with a colored pencil to mimic the texture of thick, coarse hair. This adds volume and realism to the character.
- The Jungle Atmosphere: To make the main subject pop, pay attention to the background. Gorillas live in lush, dense rainforests. Using varying shades of green – from lime to dark olive – creates a rich environment. Adding pops of color, like bright tropical flowers, can create a beautiful contrast against the dark fur of the gorilla.
- Expressive Eyes: The soul of the drawing is often in the eyes. When coloring the face, try to leave a tiny, white speck in the pupil to represent the reflection of light. This simple trick makes the gorilla look alive, intelligent, and focused.
