Thirsty Wildebeest at the Waterhole

A wildebeest steps to the pool and lowers his heavy head to drink. Curved horns frame his face, and his shaggy mane stands up like a brush. Small rings ripple out from his nose as he sips, quietly and steady.

His strong shoulders show neat stripes of fur, and slim legs hold firm on the muddy edge. The water works like a mirror and shows his whole body upside down, horn to tail. Simple lines mark the shore, with wide open space around him for bright color. The calm scene pauses under a warm savanna sky.

Fun Fact!

Wildebeest communicate with each other using a variety of sounds, including constant low grunts and moans.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Draw short, quick strokes on the mane to make it look bristly.
  2. 2 Blend gray and brown on the body for a wild, dusty look.
  3. 3 Shade the reflection one step lighter than the real wildebeest.
  4. 4 Use light blue for the water and leave thin white rings for the ripples.
