Smiling Bear Face Close Up Coloring Page

Everything here is drawn at a size a three year old can manage. One round bear head takes the whole sheet, pressed right out to the sides so the cheeks run past the edges of the paper, which is the close framing the page is named for.

The features are few and very large. Two round ears sit on top as thick rings. Two oval eyes carry a highlight each and sit under a pair of curved brow lines. The muzzle is a broad rounded shape holding a solid dark nose, and below it the mouth opens in a wide grin with the tongue showing as one closed shape inside.

Apart from a line of short fur ticks along the bottom of the jaw and the inner edge of each ear, there is no texture anywhere. The cheeks, the forehead and the muzzle are three enormous empty fields.

The nose and the open mouth are the only solid dark areas, and both of them belong there, so nothing on this page is wasted ink. A child can finish it in a few minutes with three crayons and it will still look deliberate.
