Coloring order

Color Lumirin's swirling mane and tail in pink, mint and pale yellow, a different color for each strand.
Use pale mint for the overlapping fish-scale pattern on the body, and leave the cream face and legs almost white.
Last, color the branching horns on the head and all four hooves, including the raised one, in gold or deep yellow.

Questions to talk about

Lumirin has one hoof raised. Where is it about to step?
Under what color of sky would that cloud-like mane float?
Which three pastel colors would you pick as favorites?

Take it further

Draw overlapping round swirls with pastel pencils to make a cloud-like mane strip, and stick it beside your Lumirin picture.

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, with scales, feathers and fur divided into areas so you can try many colors.

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.
