Standing Dragon Side View Coloring Page

About this page

Seen from the side, a friendly dragon stands on four sturdy legs and looks to the left with a soft smile. Its long neck rises in a smooth curve, topped by a head with a rounded snout and two swept-back horns. One large wing lifts up behind the shoulders, and a smaller wing peeks out in front of it. A row of small triangular spikes runs from the neck down the back and along a tail that curves up at the right and ends in a leaf-shaped tip. Each foot has three toes, drawn with simple rounded outlines. Everything is left plain, with no ground line or scenery, so the whole sheet is open white space. The big smooth areas of body and wing make this an easy page for kids who are just starting out.
