Sleeping Santa in Profile, Dreaming Under a Starry Pom-Pom Hat

A side view of Santa's face fills the page, with his eyes closed and long lashes drawn along the lid. He wears a tall, curved hat with a bent tip and a round pom-pom on the end. The pom-pom holds a snowflake and small stars. The hat is packed with zentangle-style detail, including paisley shapes, petal motifs, teardrops, and striped sections. A wide folded band around the brim is filled with zigzag chevron patterns. His mustache and beard fall in big curls, and each curl is made of many thin flowing lines that end in a spiral. Those long lines are fun to shade with colored pencils or fine-tip markers. Try a gradient from light to dark inside each curl so the swirls look like they have depth. The small patterns on the hat are best colored with sharp pencil tips. This free page is a good fit for older kids and adults who like detailed, quiet coloring.
