Lion Coloring Pages

Styles for Different Skill Levels

Simple designs with large spaces, like Cute Lion Plush with Scarf, work well for younger kids using crayons or thick washable markers. Designs with dense background leaves, such as Jungle Dreams, fit older children or adults who prefer fine-liner pens or colored pencils for small details.

You can also color realistic portraits like Photo to, which features detailed fur textures and sharp facial features. These realistic pages give you a chance to practice blending shading on the mane.

Coloring Tips and Palette Ideas

Lions have coats that range from light tan to deep golden brown, while their manes often show darker shades of brown, red, or black. You can layer light brown hues first, then add darker strokes to create the look of thick fur.

• Use yellow ochre and tan for the main body coat
• Layer dark brown or russet on the mane for depth
• Add soft pink or peach inside the ears and on the nose
• Try deep greens and teal for background jungle leaves

A male lion's mane grows darker as the animal gets older. Lions are also the only cats that live in large social groups called prides.
