Cozy Reading With a Sleeping Cat

A reader with long, wavy hair and a large bow sits cross-legged on a tasseled cushion, holding an open book. A sleeping cat curls up nearby on a patterned rug. Books surround the cushion, with a steaming cup and saucer resting on one stack and a flower-filled pitcher on another. The knitted sweater, decorated book covers, and floral cup give this quiet scene plenty of texture.

This medium-difficulty design suits teens who enjoy coloring smaller patterns alongside larger shapes. The hair, sweater, and rug offer more detail, while the bow and trousers leave room for broader color. Try warm browns and muted greens for a coordinated palette, with a contrasting rose-colored bow. Colored pencils work well for the fine floral motifs and narrow strands of hair.
