Alpacas are smaller cousins of llamas from South America, raised mainly for their very soft fleece. Children love the fuzzy topknot on the head and the short, pointed ears. Real alpacas come in many natural shades, including white, cream, fawn, brown, gray and black, so kids can color a whole herd in different browns.
Fleece looks soft when colored with small circles rather than straight strokes. Try a light brown first, then a few circles of darker brown on top to add depth. Leave the face a little lighter so the eyes stand out.
