To bring this scene to life, begin with the backdrop. Sketch rugged mountains, dense forests, or tranquil streams; cougars can be found in all these environments.
Next, draw the cougar itself, exhibiting its lean, muscular body and long tail. It could be in any position – sitting, standing, or poised ready to pounce on its prey.
Lastly, incorporate distinctive features like a small head, marked with expressive eyes and alert ears. Remember to add the characteristic ‘M’ shape on the rear side of its lower back.

In this section, display the protective and nurturing side of Cougars. The design should delineate a mother Cougar cautiously guarding her playful brood.
Pay attention to the adorable cub features — round ears and small size — in stark contrast to the mother’s powerful build.
Include interactive elements such as partially hidden cubs in the grass or a cub climbing on the mother, allowing for more engaging coloring.
Employ distinct textures in their fur to create abundant depth and layering opportunities for artists.

For this piece, aim to capture the intricacies of the cougar’s facial features. This includes its distinctive arc-shaped cheek markings and piercing, almond-shaped eyes. Pay attention to the fur textures too; the marking lines where the colors of fur gradate from light to dark. Take note of its small rounded ears and its wide nose with a black tip. Don’t forget the fearsome details of its fangs peaking from above and below its mouth. The completed coloring page should provide a stunning close-up that feels as though the cougar is just a paw’s reach away.
Mountain Background With Perched Cougar
Set the stage with rugged peaks piercing the clear blue sky. On a majestic mount, place your Cougar, poised powerfully. Ensure his muscular physique is kept in focus, while the tail extends down the rocky terrain.
For minute detailing, add rocks and small vegetation around the Cougar. Look to create dramatic shadows and highlights, illustrating the depth and solitude of the mountainous setting.
Maintain the balance of the scene by ensuring harmony between the Cougar and the expanses of the landscape.
Cougar By the River Hunting Scene
In creating this scene, focus on the rippled water surface, possibly with a reflection of the cougar. The intrepid feline should be portrayed mid-prowl, lending a sense of intensity. Accentuate its muscular build and stealth stance for realism.
Include some river-side vegetation and rocks to add depth to the landscape. Neutral tones for the Cougar and vibrant colors for the backdrop would work wonderfully together.
A Cougar Climbing a Tree
Depicting the agility of these large, nimble cats becomes a truly unique and engaging coloring experience. To portray the climbing action accurately, focus should be on elongating the body of the cougar, with claws extended on one paw as if gripping the bark. Also, experiment with adding rough textures to the tree to make it look lifelike.
The cat’s muscular structure should be apparent through the shading, and different shades of brown, tan, and gray can be used for the cougar’s fur. A blue sky or green foliage in the background would also add a lively contrast.
Sleeping Cougar in a Den
To color this tranquil scene, begin with subdued, earthy tints for the den. Grays, browns, and blacks can be used to depict the shadowy interior.
For the cougar itself, stick to shades varying from light yellow to deep reddish-brown, don’t forget to leave its chest, and the areas around its eyes and nose, white.
The sleeping position of the animal allows for a detailed view of its face and paws, so take your time to emphasize these with careful shading.
This image provides a wonderful opportunity to illustrate the softer side of this otherwise ferocious creature.
The peaceful setting emits a cozy vibe which one can further enhance with warm hues.

The versatility in color of the cougar’s coat- ranging from silvery-gray, tawny to light cinnamon, offers ample opportunities to experiment with a diverse color palette. The primary objective: bring this intense, active scene to life via colors.
