Winged Dragon Rearing Up With Spiked Tail

A single dragon is drawn in side view, rising up on its hind legs with its front claws lifted in front of its chest. Its head faces left with a pointed snout, a small horn, and a visible eye and mouth. A row of spikes runs down the curved neck and continues along the back and the long, curling tail, which ends in a pointed, arrow-shaped tip. One large bat-style wing is spread behind the body, with bony ribs and panels of thin skin between them. The belly and neck have ridged scale bands, and each foot has sharp curved claws. The outlines are bold and the sections are fairly large, so it works well for kids who like a detailed subject. Try coloring each wing panel in a slightly different shade, then use a separate color for the spikes so the ridge down the back and tail stands out. This free printable also suits a lesson on fantasy creatures.
