What's In This Picture

This illustration centers on a happy dog who is fully prepared for a storm. The pup is wearing a buttoned raincoat that covers its body and four matching rain boots on its paws. In one of its front paws, the dog holds the handle of a large, striped umbrella that arches over its head. The background is filled with several fluffy clouds that are scattered across the top of the scene. From these clouds, many small raindrops are falling down toward the ground. The dog has a big smile and bright eyes, showing that it is having a wonderful time despite the wet weather.

Coloring Tips

A bright yellow for the raincoat is a classic choice that makes the dog pop against the background. You could also use a vibrant pink or a cool teal for the rain boots to add more variety. For the umbrella, consider coloring each panel a different shade to create a rainbow effect that brightens up the rainy day. The clouds look great with a bit of light gray or soft blue shading along the bottom edges to give them depth. If you want the raindrops to look extra special, try using a light blue marker or even a glitter pen for a bit of sparkle.

Did You Know?

Did you know that dogs have a special double coat that helps them stay warm and dry in nature? Even so, many pet owners use raincoats to make cleanup easier after a walk in the puddles. Some dogs even wear tiny goggles called Doggles to protect their eyes from the wind and rain.

Try This!

You can turn this into a weather chart by drawing a sun or a rainbow on the back of the paper. After you finish coloring the dog, try writing a short story about where this puppy is going on such a rainy day. You might even draw a few friends like a frog or a duck joining the fun.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors should I use for the raincoat?
A bright yellow is a classic and cheerful choice for a raincoat. You could also try a vibrant red or a deep blue to make the puppy stand out from the gray clouds.
Can I add more things to the background?
Yes, you can draw some puddles on the ground for the dog to splash in. You could also add a little frog or a worm enjoying the rain nearby.
How do I make the raindrops look like they are falling?
You can use a light blue crayon to color the drops. If you have a silver pen, adding a tiny dot of sparkle to each drop makes it look like it is catching the light.
