Cat on a Crescent Cushion Coloring Page

About this page

A fluffy kitten sits upright on a crescent-shaped cushion, front paws together, with its face tipped up toward a butterfly hovering at the upper right. The cat has large sparkling eyes, long whiskers and scruffy fur marks along its chest, cheeks and legs, and its tail curls up behind it on the left. The cushion curves like a banana moon, with soft puffy folds across the top and a small tassel hanging from each pointed tip. The butterfly has patterned wings and two curled antennae. Nothing else fills the page, so the white space around the pair is generous. The mix of fine fur lines and big smooth cushion panels gives you both detail work and relaxed shading. It suits teens who like a gentle, anime-style animal portrait at medium difficulty.
