Round Pig Lying Down Coloring Page

This pig is asleep. It lies on its side facing left, and the outline of its back is one enormous unbroken curve that takes up most of the page.

The eye is a single closed line, which changes the whole mood of the sheet. Where the other pigs here grin out at the reader, this one is simply resting, and the page is quiet in a way none of the others are. Two front trotters show at the front where the legs are folded underneath, the snout sits low with two dark nostrils, one ear lies back along the head, and the tail curls at the upper right.

There is almost no interior linework, so the body is one vast open area waiting for a single decision. That makes it a good page for experimenting with blending: a light shade along the top of the back deepening toward the belly gives the animal real weight, and there are no internal edges to interrupt the gradient.

If blending is not the aim, one flat color across the body works perfectly well. Keep the ear and the trotters slightly darker so they separate from the mass behind them, and leave the closed eye alone.
