Zippy Stripes on the Savanna

A young zebra dashes across the plain, knees tucked and hooves popping off the ground. Her short, bristly mane stands up like a row of tiny paintbrushes. Curvy stripes wrap her neck and belly, swooping around her legs like ribbons. She keeps her ears forward and eyes bright, listening to the whispery wind.

A few grass tufts poke from the dirt, showing where she just leapt. Her tail flicks behind her in a skinny swirl. Wide spaces around her leave room for sky, sunshine, and a puff of cloud. Bold lines guide little hands as each stripe springs to life.

Fun Fact!

A zebra has a "flight zone," which is the personal space around it; if a predator or human gets inside this zone, the zebra's instinct is to run away.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Alternate black and white on her stripes; add a touch of gray for shine.
  2. 2 Blend light gray along her legs and nose for soft shadows.
  3. 3 Color the grass tufts green, then draw dusty hoofpuffs in sandy brown.
  4. 4 Leave big sky space for a bright sun and a pale blue wash.
