Mammoths often get grouped with dinosaurs, but they lived much later, during the last Ice Age, and early people saw them alive. They were close relatives of elephants. Kids enjoy comparing a mammoth with an elephant: the fur, the small ears and the long tusks. Realistic colors are browns and reddish browns for the fur and creamy white for the tusks. It is a good theme for winter.
For a furry look, color with many short, curved strokes instead of filling the body flat. Use two browns, one light and one dark, and let some white show through to suggest frost.
