The hair is the page. It falls from a center part in long unbroken strands that run off the bottom edge of the sheet, and the artist has drawn the strand divisions as long tapering slivers rather than as flat blocks. That gives you a choice most coloring pages do not offer. Color every sliver the same shade and let the outlines do the work, or alternate two close values and get a lit, glossy look without blending anything. She is turned three quarters toward you with her chin slightly down. Her eyes sit under thick lashes and each one carries two white catchlights, the small highlight circles manga artists use to make an eye look wet and alive. Leave them alone. The smile is closed and drawn with a single curved line, and the shoulders are cropped by the frame, so there is no clothing to worry about at all. Line weight is heavy throughout, which makes this a good page for felt tips that would bleed on a finer drawing. Older children and adults both do well with it, mostly because the reward comes from patience with the hair rather than from any tricky small shapes.
