Sugar Skull with Roses

Creative Pro Ages 9 to 12 · Lots of detail Level 4/5

Tested by kids aged 9 to 12

A classic Day of the Dead skull design adorned with intricate floral patterns, featuring a heart on the forehead, ornamental swirls throughout, and blooming roses framing the jawline. The bold eye sockets are decorated with flower motifs, while delicate leaf details and flowing scrollwork cover the entire skull surface, creating a richly layered composition perfect for exploring color combinations.

Coloring tip

Start with the roses and leaves at the base in warm reds, oranges, and greens to create a bold frame, then use jewel tones or metallics for the ornamental scrollwork across the skull. Keep the eye sockets and teeth sections with strong contrast by leaving them white or coloring them in deep, dark shades.
