Three textures on one animal: smooth flanks, a mane drawn in tufts and a tail drawn in tufts the other way. The stripes run across the body rather than along it, which is the detail most people get wrong when they copy him. Orange and cream with black stripes is the expected answer. This Arcanine Pokémon coloring page suits six and up. The Charizard face is quicker.
Arcanine the Pokémon standing, striped and full of fur.
