A quiet morning in the forest and the elk steps proudly into a patch of sunlight. His antlers rise high above his head as he looks around for his friends among the pine trees. The soft breeze ruffles his thick fur, and a gentle stream glistens nearby. What kind of forest will you imagine around this elk? Create your own magical scenery as you bring this gentle giant to life with your favorite colors.
Elk are also known by the Native American Shawnee name 'wapiti', which means 'white rump' because of their light-colored patch on their backside.

Use soft, gentle strokes for the elk’s fur to show its fluffy texture, and try layering browns and tans for a natural look. You can use different shades of green or even autumn colors if you want to add trees and background elements. For a magical twist, add hints of blue or purple in the shadows of the antlers.
