Coloring order

Start with the outside of Inksurge's coiled body in cream and the stripes along its belly in gray.
Color the brush-tip mane streaming along the body in black, letting only the very ends bleed into red.
Last, fill the swirling tail tufts at the bottom, the sharp claws and the long tongue outside the mouth in black and red.

Questions to talk about

Inksurge's mane looks as if it were painted with a brush. What does it feel like to you?
Why might this dragon be coiled up in such a tight shape?
Have you ever painted with a brush? What did you paint?

Take it further

Use a thick brush or brush pen to sweep thick and thin curved lines across white paper, practicing strokes like Inksurge's mane.

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 black-and-white line art you print and color. Closed shapes and medium-weight outlines make it easy to fill with colored pencils.

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.
