Coloring page Smiling Pirate with Skull Hat

A smiling pirate stands facing forward, waving his raised hand. He wears a large hat with a skull and crossbones symbol and an eye patch. You can see his beard, wide smile, and a striped shirt under a long coat with cuffs. Next to him is an open chest full of coins, with a few scattered on the ground. On the chest lid sits a parrot with a distinct beak and eye.
This printable is great for kids during art class, as they compare their ideas for coloring a pirate’s outfit. The picture helps practice attention to detail, as it’s easy to mix up elements on the hat, chest, and parrot. This coloring page features thick outlines to guide crayons along the hat’s curves and coins. The illustration can also spark discussions on distinguishing the hero’s props from nearby objects. An eye patch is often associated with protecting the eye from bright light and dust. Consider coloring it black and navy to make it stand out and match the strong lines on the face. Use soft graphite pencils and shade with short strokes near the edges.
Color the pirate and parrot, then show your work to the class.
