Grinning Long-Necked Dragon With Curled Claws

A slender dragon curves across the page in a big S shape, with its head turned to the left and its beak-like mouth open in what looks like a happy grin. Two curved horns and a few spiky tufts rise from the top of its head, and a ridge of feathery spikes runs down its back and neck. One front arm is bent up near the chest with long, curling claws, while a back leg with talon-like toes dangles at the bottom. The tail sweeps up and to the right and ends in a wispy fringe. Because the body is large and open, it works well for blending crayons or colored pencils from light to dark. Try picking one color for the belly and another for the spiky ridge so the dragon's curves stand out. This free printable is also handy for a quick lesson on shapes and curved lines.
