This originally had 6 templates: panther, snow leopard, elephant, lion, squirrel, and tiger. Mine is missing the squirrel and tiger template. There is an introduction to color, and a quick discussion of tips and techniques for color pencil, pastels, water color, oil and acrylic, and Marker and pens. For each of the templates it shows the finished picture with a list of the colors used. If you are a beginner, I don't think you would be pleased with this. It is probably good for someone with intermediate skills who doesn't want to have to draw the original.
