Color choices

Giant anteater can begin with warm brown across the broad body and shaggy tail. Use cream on the long snout and darker brown along the furry edges, then choose charcoal for the curved claws. Color the termite mound with sandy tan and rust accents. Finish the leaves, grasses, and tree trunks in varied greens and earthy browns, using a deeper shade behind the anteater for clear contrast.

Rainforest Leaf Patterns

Use repeating color patterns across the large leaf sections and foreground plants. Give the distant foliage softer shades to separate it from the giant anteater and termite mound.
