Sloth Holding a Pencil Coloring Page

Everything on this sheet is drawn with a plain outline and no texture at all, which sets it apart from the rest of the collection. The body is one smooth mass, the arms end in rounded forms, and the two back legs are simple lumps with no toes marked on them. For anyone who wants to lay down a flat wash or a single bold shade over a large area, this is one of the easiest pages in the batch.

The pencil gives that plainness something to push against. It sits high on the left in a raised paw, sharpened to a point at the upper end, and two straight lines run the whole length of the shaft to split it into three long strips. A short band crosses the lower end. Those strips are narrow next to everything else on the page, so a fine tip helps there even though nothing else asks for one.

The face follows the house pattern, with round eyes carrying a solid pupil and a small white highlight, a pale gray mask sweeping out from each eye, a filled nose and a wide curved smile. A short tuft stands up on the head. The free paw rests on the lap with its claws drawn in, and the paper around the animal is left completely bare.
