Mariachi Skeleton Sugar Skull Strumming a Guitar

Coloring guide
This cheerful skeleton stands with his feet apart in a wide-brimmed sombrero, strumming an acoustic guitar and grinning with big round eyes. The hat band has daisy-like flowers and a zigzag pattern. His skull face has a heart-shaped nose and little painted flowers, a bit like sugar skull makeup. He wears a bow tie, and his matching jacket and trousers are covered in flower and leaf designs, with sturdy boots below. By his feet, a small patch of grass holds several blooming flowers with big petals. The guitar's round sound hole is decorated too, so there's lots of room for detail. Marigold orange and hot pink look great on the suit flowers, and deep red or turquoise on the sombrero band will make the outfit stand out. This one is worth printing in a few extra copies. Add this to your Sugar Skulls (Día de Muertos) coloring page collection, alongside Jesus / Bible and Good Friday.
