Yorkie Puppy With Tiny Bow in Hair Coloring Page

Someone has gathered the hair on top of this yorkie's head into a short topknot and tied a small ribbon bow around it. The bow sits right at the front of the page and is the first thing the eye lands on.

Everything below it is fur. Short spiky strokes fan out from the middle of the face, run down both sides of the body and gather into a fringe across the chest, and the two pointed ears push up through the coat on either side. Both eyes are large and rounded and filled dark with a bright spot left white inside, which is what gives this puppy its alert expression. Four paws sit flat along the bottom with the toes marked by short curved lines.

Nothing else appears on the sheet. There is no ground, no pattern and no scenery, just the puppy standing clear against bare paper.

The outlines are thick and the shapes underneath them are generous, so markers and chunky crayons both work here without any fiddly gaps to worry about. The bow is the one place on the page that asks for a contrasting color, and picking that first tends to settle the rest of the palette.
