Detailed Sugar Skull With Flower Eyes and Patterns coloring page

Coloring guide

A front-facing sugar skull fills the page, decorated with bold black shapes and fine dotted lines. Each eye socket is a round flower with a small black center, daisy-like petals, and a scalloped, gear-style border around it. Across the forehead sit two large fan-shaped medallions with rays and dots, plus three small circles stacked down the middle. Curved rows of dots arc across the brow and cheeks. The nose is a pointed triangle with layered outlines, and short feather-like strokes sit beside it and along the sides of the face. A wide set of rounded teeth runs across the bottom, with more dots above and below them. Because the pattern work is so tight, it suits older kids, teens, and adults who like fine-tip pens or colored pencils. Try giving the two eye flowers matching color schemes, then pick a different palette for the forehead medallions so the face feels balanced. It also works well for a Day of the Dead art lesson on symmetry and repeating patterns.
