Polar bear cub between snowdrifts coloring page
A polar bear cub sits between soft snowdrifts with its paws together and its round ears up, while big snowflakes and little dots of snow fall around it. A white bear on white snow sounds like nothing to color, so give the bear a pale cream and the snow a pale blue, and the two separate at once. That cream is closer to the truth than white: a polar bear's hairs carry no white pigment, they are clear and scatter the light, and the skin underneath is black. The penguin in a striped scarf is the other cold-weather animal in this collection, though the two would never meet.
How to color Polar bear cub between snowdrifts
- Pale cream or ivory for the cub, with a touch of light grey inside the ears.
- Black for the nose and the eyes, leaving a small white dot in each eye.
- Pale blue for the snowdrifts and the snowflakes, so the bear stands out against them.
