Sugar Skull Lollipop Coloring Page

Someone turned a calavera into candy on a stick. The sweet is one clean circle with a skull face set into it, and a six petal flower perches on top where the wrapper twist would normally sit. A long straight stick runs from the bottom of the candy almost to the foot of the page, which leaves a lot of white space below. That space is deliberate. It keeps the design uncluttered for a young child and it gives an older colorist room to add a background if they want one. The face itself is pared right back. Two open round sockets, a small heart nose, and a mouth drawn as a neat grid of square teeth. Scalloped edges tuck in beside the cheeks where the candy meets the rim. Bright flat color suits this sheet better than careful shading, because real hard candy is saturated and glossy rather than soft. Try one color for the whole circle and a second for the flower, then leave the stick white. The contrast makes the sweet look wrapped and ready to hand over.
