Snowshoe Hare In A Winter Landscape Coloring Page

A hare sits bolt upright in deep winter, and the difference between a hare and a rabbit is written all over the drawing. Its ears are much longer, tipped with a solid dark patch at the end of each, and its hind legs are heavier and broader, built for snow. Short fur strokes run down the chest and along the back, dense enough to give texture but far from covering the body, so there is plenty of open white to work into. The setting is deliberately sparse. A spruce branch reaches in from the top right and another from the left, drawn as rows of fine needles, snow banks roll away behind the animal in smooth curved drifts, and flakes fall as scattered circles across the whole sheet. Those flakes are best left as bare paper. If you want the snow to read as snow, put a faint blue wash into the shadowed side of each drift and leave everything else untouched. The dark ear tips give the page its anchor.
