Line Art – Giraffes

June 8, 2010 By Colleen Jorgenson 6 Comments

I found this line art when I was going thru some of my clients’ files. You could use them as patterns for decoupage, stencils, or just coloring pages for your little one!

Whether I draw or paint giraffes, their eyes always turn out a little dreamy. I have no idea why.

I love this Momma & Baby giraffe mural in a baby boy’s room. The Momma giraffe is over 6’ tall! And see how the colors are really muted? The clients wanted tons of animals, but in soft tones. The rest of the mural is here and here.
After I finished that mural I painted these guys.

They didn’t turn out as soft as the mural, but they could still work in a baby’s room, don’t you think?
Sharing with these parties today –

    Beautiful murals. I think Giraffe’s have dreamy eyes…period. They are animals out of a fantasy, in my mind. So quirky!!
