Elephant with Trunk

Elephant with Trunk is a classic animal motif. Animal coloring pages are among the most popular of all. Coloring them helps children discover the shapes and characteristics of familiar and exotic animals while mixing colors freely. Realistic or wild with pink manes and blue spots: anything goes.

The elephant's trunk can be wonderfully created with gray tones – start with light gray and add darker shading at the edges and folds. The large ears look impressive when you color them with two different gray shades and keep the inside a bit lighter. Use a strong, even gray as a base for the body. The long tusks can be colored cream white or ivory, which creates a nice contrast. Accent small details like the eye and toenails with black to give the majestic animal more character and expression.
