Three-Quarter View Sugar Skull with Blossoms and Paisley

A human-style skull is drawn at a three-quarter angle, with shaded black eye sockets and nose, and a slightly open jaw showing upper and lower teeth. The cranium is decorated like a sugar skull. Two large open blossoms with detailed centers sit on the forehead and side, surrounded by striped leaves, paisley shapes filled with tiny patterns, curling swirls, small hearts, and a diamond shape between the eyes. Dotted lines trace around the eye sockets, and the teeth have scalloped, heart-dotted borders. There is also a small four-leaf clover near the cheek. The pencil shading and fine detail make this a good fit for older kids, teens, and adults who like a long, quiet project. Try fine-tip markers or colored pencils, using bright colors on the flowers and paisleys and keeping the bone areas soft and light. This free printable also works well for talking about Day of the Dead art.
