Tips For Coloring Possum
What colors should I use for a possum coloring page?
Possums have a color range between grey and white. Use light greyish-blue for the body and pure white for the face and underbelly. Possum’s ears are black and their eyes are shining red in the dark. You can use a light pink color for the tail and feet.
How can I add more detail and realism to my possum coloring?
To give a realistic touch to your possum coloring, pay attention to their fur shading. Begin with light, short strokes for the base fur coat using a light gray color. Then add darker shadows in the underparts, under the neck, and tail to add depth. You can also add some tree branches and leaves as they are great climbers and spend much of their time in trees.
What are some unique features of the possum I should pay attention to while coloring?
The possum has several unique features to emphasize while coloring. Possums have a long, elliptical shape with a pointed snout and small, roundish ears. The tail is quite noticeable-proportionally long, thin, and often curled. Also, it’s worth paying special attention to their eyes and mouth. The eyes are usually large and dark, while a slightly open mouth with tiny sharp teeth can give your drawing a characteristic possum expression.
Can you provide some interesting facts about the possum that I could incorporate into my art?
Yes, possums are the only marsupials found in North America. Interestingly, they carry their young in a pouch, like kangaroos, which could be a fun fact to portray in your artwork. Furthermore, possums also have a rare trait called “playing dead” when threatened. Incorporating this behavior or other elements of their natural habitat can make your artwork educational and interesting.
