Fox in Witch Hat with Pumpkin and Ghost Coloring Page

About this coloring picture

A young fox sits upright in an oversized witch hat, its pointed ears poking out on both sides of the brim. This fox in witch hat coloring page is packed with Halloween details: a buckle on the hat band, a paw resting on a ribbed pumpkin with a curly stem, and a bushy tail with a zigzag patch at its tip. Around the fox float a grinning moon, a small ghost with raised arms, and three stars.

The big open areas are the hat, the tail, and the pumpkin, so those are good places to start. For colors, try a classic orange fox with a purple hat and a pale yellow moon. A gray fox with a black hat and an orange pumpkin would give it a moodier night look. The fox's fur is the fussy part. The chest and cheeks have short jagged lines that make little tufts, so color the main shape first and then add a second shade along the tufts with light strokes. The tail tip is a separate zigzag shape, which makes it easy to leave white or color cream for contrast. The pumpkin's long ribs make natural stripes, so alternating two shades of orange across the sections gives it a rounded look. The ghost can stay white, or try a pale blue or lavender for a glowing look.

Crayons cover the hat, tail, and pumpkin quickly. Colored pencils or fine-tip markers are better for the eyes, the nose, the three stars, and the little faces on the moon and ghost. When the page is done, invent a spell for the fox to try, or decide what the ghost and the moon are whispering about.
