Sloth Sitting on a Crescent Moon Coloring Page

Almost half of this sheet is the moon. It curves in one long sweep beneath the animal, thins toward a blunt point on the left and another on the right, and encloses a single large area that will take whatever treatment you give it. Deep night tones work well across that span, and so does leaving the moon pale and putting all the color into the sloth instead.

The sloth sits upright in the hollow facing straight out, its body a smooth pear shape with no fur lines drawn over it. Both front paws hook over the curve in front, each showing three long claws, and the arms read as two rounded forms down the sides. The back legs stay hidden behind the moon, which is how this collection draws a seated pose on a platform.

The face carries the markings the rest of the hub uses: a pale band running out from each eye, a solid nose, a broad smile and a small tuft standing up between two rounded ears. Nothing sits behind the pair and no line crosses the paper underneath them, so the moon floats free and the sheet stays as quiet as its subject.
