Sloth Holding a Beach Ball Coloring Page

The ball rides high on the end of a raised arm and it carries the only real structure on this sheet. A small oval cap finishes the top of it, and four curved seams drop away from that cap down to the rim. Those seams cut the face of the ball into five tall panels, and the one on the far right is pinched almost shut where the surface turns away from you. Running two bright shades alternately around the panels is the treatment this shape asks for.

The lifting arm climbs straight up the right side of the page and ends in a rounded paw tucked in behind the ball. The other arm reaches out to the left and opens into two long curved claws, drawn clean and set wide apart, so each one takes a shade of its own without any crowding.

The face carries the markings this hub uses throughout. Each round eye holds a solid pupil with a small white catchlight, and a pale gray mask sweeps back from it toward the ear. The nose is filled solid above a wide open smile, and a short spiky tuft stands up on the head. Short fur ticks follow the whole outline of the body and a few more flick across the belly, leaving the middle of the chest open for a flat wash. Both back feet rest at the bottom with their claws marked in, and the paper behind the animal is left completely bare.
