Gliding Dragon Coloring Page

About this page

Soaring through empty air, a little dragon spreads its wings wide, with one large wing reaching up to the right and another opening at the left. Its body is tilted, and the open mouth is a wide happy smile. One front paw waves out in front, while the other tucks against the chest, and the hind legs trail behind with rounded toes. Two curved horns sweep back, and a row of spikes follows the neck to a tail that curls up at the right, finishing in a heart-like tip. Since no clouds or sky are drawn, the wings and the gliding body are all that fills the page. The big wing panels are easy to color in broad strokes, which suits kids who enjoy flying scenes.
