Dragon Resting on a Hill Coloring Page

About this page

Lying down with its front paws crossed at the edge, a young dragon rests on a smooth, rounded hill. The hill is a plain half-dome with nothing drawn on it, giving a wide blank base. The dragon's head is turned forward with a gentle smile, and a tiny leaf sprig decorates its forehead between two curved horns. Fin-like ears flare at the sides, and bands run down its neck. Two leaf-shaped marks decorate its shoulder and hip, and a few more spikes follow the tail up to a pointed tip at the right. One wing opens at each side. The large dome underneath and the simple leaf shapes keep the page easy, and it suits kids who like calm resting poses.
