Realistic Stitch Drawing

HardAges 8+25

Free PDF coloring page to print or download.

Same character, drawn as an animal rather than a cartoon. The fur is laid in as strokes instead of one clean outline, so a marker flattens it and pencils do not: two blues close together with a lighter tone along the belly give the coat its shape. The claws are separated on every foot. Give this detailed Stitch drawing an evening. The face on its own takes ten minutes.
