Color choices
Realistic German Shepherd fur can begin with tan across the face, neck, and chest. Blend dark brown or charcoal into the ears, forehead, muzzle, and outer coat markings. Use amber for the irises and deep gray for the nose, leaving small highlights pale. Softer cream areas around the cheeks and chest can contrast with the darker fur sections.
Fur Shading Pattern
Use alternating light and dark strokes along the existing fur lines. Keep the muzzle and inner ears softly shaded for contrast with the outer coat.
Before you print
Realistic German Shepherd Portrait Coloring Page has about 115 separate areas to color, a medium level of detail. Crayons work for the larger shapes, and colored pencils or fine markers help in the smaller spaces.
