Fun Facts About Lions!
The Roar That Shakes the Earth
A lion’s roar is not just a sound; it is a declaration of presence. This thunderous call can be heard from up to five miles (8 kilometers) away! It is their way of communicating with the pride and warning intruders to stay away from their territory. When coloring a roaring lion, one can almost imagine the sound vibrating off the page.
The Royal Nappers
Despite their ferocious reputation, lions are actually the sleepiest of the big cats. They can sleep for up to 20 hours a day! They conserve their massive energy for hunting during the cooler hours of dusk and dawn. This makes those images of a lion lounging on a rock scientifically accurate – they are truly masters of relaxation.
The Story in the Mane
A male lion’s mane is more than just a magnificent crown of hair; it tells the story of his life. As a lion gets older, his mane tends to get darker. A thick, dark mane is a sign to other lions that he is healthy, strong, and a force to be reckoned with.
Coloring Tips for Your Lion Masterpiece
- Layering the Golden Coat: To achieve a realistic fur effect, avoid using a single flat yellow crayon. Instead, the artist recommends starting with a base of light yellow, then layering in strokes of ochre, tan, and light brown. Short, directional strokes that follow the curve of the body will mimic the texture of fur and give the lion volume and weight.
- Capturing the Intense Gaze: The eyes are the soul of the portrait. Lions usually have amber or golden-brown eyes. By leaving a tiny white dot (highlight) in the pupil and using a darker shade of brown around the iris, the artist can make the lion look alert and alive. Is he watching a herd of zebras, or gazing at the sunset?
- Contrasting the Background: Since lions are warm-toned (yellows, oranges, browns), they pop beautifully against cool-toned backgrounds. Consider coloring the sky a deep twilight purple or the savanna grass a vibrant emerald green. This contrast ensures the lion remains the undisputed focal point of the artwork.
