Coloring order

Fill the thin panels of Chronogear's wide wings with teal and pale green first, and trace the wing frames in brown.
Color the round gears and metal plates on the body and legs one at a time, alternating brass, copper and gold.
Last, finish the pinwheel shape at the end of the segmented tail curled on the left and the sharp claws in deep brown.

Questions to talk about

How many gears can you find on Chronogear's body?
What sounds would this clockwork dragon make as it moves?
Have you ever played with a wind-up toy or something with wheels?

Take it further

Line up cardboard tubes, buttons and bottle caps on a box and glue them down to build a gear-and-parts model like Chronogear.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

About this image

The reference showing each dragon's original palette. Follow it or pick your own colors. It sits on the left page of a spread.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
