Guardian Angel Watching Over A Sleeping Child Coloring Page

Two children fill this page and both of them have their eyes closed, which is unusual and gives the drawing its quiet. The sleeping child lies stretched out along the bottom edge with one arm folded under a cheek and bare feet pointing off to the left. Leaning over from behind is the guardian, a child of about the same age with a single visible wing raised behind the shoulder, a cape falling from the neck, and an oval halo hanging in the air overhead. The ground is drawn as one long gentle line that runs the full width of the sheet and nothing else, so there is no background to fill and the whole page rests on white paper. Both figures are made from large, soft, rounded shapes with hair drawn as a handful of thick locks rather than as individual strands. Very little here is fiddly. The one place worth slowing down is the wing, which carries five long feather divisions. A good approach is to keep the sleeping child in warm tones and the guardian in cool ones, which separates the two bodies where they overlap without needing any outline.
