A bat with huge round eyes and a striped body hangs in the middle of the sheet, wings stretched wide, while sweets and stars dangle on strings above it and two more sweets sit below. Here is the Halloween bat drawn to be adorable rather than creepy, and it is the right page at four, before a child is ready for the bat under the moon. The wings have a few membrane lines inside them: follow those with a lighter shade of the body color and they look like real wings without any shading. Ten minutes, easy to hang on a window. The realistic one is the Halloween Bat.
Coloring ideas for this page
- Purple body with the wing lines in a lighter purple.
