Curly-Horned Wildebeest Portrait

A big wildebeest looks straight ahead. He lifts his crescent horns high, curving like two giant commas. His ears stick out to listen, and his eyes stay steady and kind. Wrinkly lines travel down his long nose, and his little chin beard looks like it forgot its comb.

Down his shoulder, wavy stripes show a shaggy coat that swishes in the breeze. The broad, square snout waits to sniff fresh grass, and short hairs flick under his chin. The open background leaves room for bright sky, tall grass, or a dust cloud from the herd. Color him bold and strong, and let those twisty horns steal the show.

Fun Fact!

Mother wildebeest and their calves form very strong bonds and recognize each other by scent and sound.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Blend browns and grays on his face to show the bumpy folds.
  2. 2 Make the horns shiny by shading dark at the base and lighter at the tips.
  3. 3 Use short, quick strokes on the mane to draw furry texture.
  4. 4 Add sandy ground, tall green grass, and tiny birds in the sky.
