At the center of the page, you will find the caterpillar resting on a sturdy leaf. Notice the small bite marks where he has been munching away! He has several round body segments, each waiting for a unique color. Look closely at his friendly face to see his cheerful expression and his two long antennae reaching up.

Surrounding our hungry friend are several beautiful flowers with round petals and happy centers. You can see his many tiny legs gripping the leaf as he moves along. The background is simple but full of life, giving you the chance to imagine a sunny day in a lush, green backyard or a wild meadow.

Since this is a cartoon style, you can use any colors you like. Many people choose bright greens for the caterpillar and the leaf, but he would look just as great in a rainbow of stripes. Try using a different shade for each segment of his body to make him stand out from the green background.

For the flowers, warm yellows, pinks, and oranges will make the scene feel sunny and bright. If you want to add some texture, try using small dots or light strokes on the leaf to show its veins. Since the line density is moderate, markers or colored pencils work perfectly for filling in the round shapes of the caterpillar and the delicate flower petals.
