Say cheese! This pig is looking you right in the eye. Our pig portrait coloring page shows a big pig face with a bold outline, a great canvas for blending and shading. Download the free printable and get creative.
Why This Portrait Leaves Room for Creativity
The head fills almost the whole page: two big upright ears with inner lines, small shiny eyes, a round snout with two nostrils and a wide smile. Wrinkles sit above the snout, a little tuft of hair tops the forehead, and the cheeks are soft and round. The lines are thick and clear and the areas are large. That’s exactly what lets older kids experiment with shading, gradients or their own patterns.

Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.

Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
The Face of a Pig
The star of a pig’s face is its snout. This flexible nose smells so well that pigs can even find truffles underground. The snout is flat and strong at the front, perfect for digging. Pigs are known to be very smart and quickly learn things like coming when their name is called. They “talk” using more than 20 different sounds. Depending on the breed, their ears stand up like these or flop forward over the eyes.
Ideas for Your Pig Portrait
Cut out the finished head, back it with cardboard and add an elastic band to make a pig mask for dress-up or a school play. Or color it in pop-art style and hang it up like a piece of gallery art.
