Red Riding Hood with Wolf in Forest Coloring Page

The character known as Little Red Riding Hood can be depicted in many ways because she is such a timeless figure and a classic character; therefore, there are many interpretations of her. In this interpretation, we see the character walking through a wooded area with a wolf following her.

The Woods surrounding Little Red Riding Hood are dark and foreboding, with large, twisted trees and thick underbrush. The mist-covered tree branches give this illustration a sense of anticipation, danger or anticipation of danger as described in the Little Red Riding Hood story. The heavy use of fine lifework shows the details of her cape, the wolf's fur, the weaving pattern of the baskets and the multi-layered foliage around Little Red Riding Hood, all which will give you ample opportunity for both shading and Color to build up.

In order to best utilize the coloring opportunity presented, I recommend the following coloring choices: The cloak should be Red (hence its name), the wolf Brown (or perhaps Grey/Black), the ground and trees should be a variety of cool colors (Greens, Blues and purples) to create a contrast against the bright Red. By having a combination of the bright colors of the Red cloak and dark colors of the wolf will enhance the overall tone of the illustration, creating a very interesting and exciting piece.

In addition to the coloring opportunity, the intricate design will allow the user to color the image two different ways, one with strong contrast in Color and two with soft color gradients. The image is available to download instantly in crisp PDF and JPG formats for ease of home and app based coloring applications.
