Printable Yorkie Coloring Pages

Capturing the Yorkshire Terrier Coat

Yorkies are famous for their long, silky coats and distinctive coloring. When coloring a realistic Yorkshire Terrier, you can practice blending different shades to match their traditional blue and tan or black and gold fur. The hair on their head, chest, and legs is usually a rich golden tan, while the body carries a darker steel blue or black saddle.

Adult colorists can use fine-tipped colored pencils to draw individual strands of hair, especially around the face and the signature topknot often tied with a bow. Since they have hair rather than typical fur, their coats reflect light differently. Adding a few white gel pen highlights over your colored pencil layers can give that glossy, well-groomed appearance seen in show dogs. For younger artists, using crayons in solid blocks of brown and black works just as well to bring these energetic dogs to life.
