What's In This Picture

In the center of the page, a cheerful alien sits inside a clear dome on top of a classic flying saucer. The saucer has a smooth, rounded shape with small circular lights or ports along its rim. Below the craft, a series of hills roll across the horizon, creating a sense of depth and movement as the saucer passes by.

Scattered across the ground are several trees and small bushes, giving the landscape a lush and friendly feel. High above the hills, soft clouds drift through the air, framing the spacecraft. The alien has large, expressive eyes and a friendly wave, making the entire scene feel welcoming rather than scary. Every element from the mechanical details of the UFO to the organic shapes of the forest invites a different coloring approach.

Coloring Tips

For the spacecraft, using metallic shades like silver or light gray can give it a classic look, but bright neon colors like lime green or electric blue make it feel more like a cartoon. You might try using a very light blue or pale yellow for the glass dome to show that it is transparent. This allows the alien inside to remain the main focus.

When coloring the landscape, varying the shades of green for the hills, trees, and bushes helps the different plants stand out from one another. Since the lines are of moderate density, you can experiment with shading the bottom of the clouds with a touch of light purple or gray to give them some volume. Bright, bold colors for the alien will make the character pop against the more natural colors of the earth below.

Did You Know?

The idea of a flying saucer became very popular in the 1940s after a pilot described seeing objects that moved like saucers skipping over water. Since then, many people have imagined aliens as friendly travelers from distant stars. Scientists are actually looking for life on other planets right now using giant telescopes and space probes.

Try This!

After finishing the page, you can draw a few extra stars or a second moon in the sky to show that the alien might be on a different planet instead of Earth. You could also give the alien a name and write a short sentence about where he is going on his afternoon flight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors are best for the alien?
While many people imagine aliens as green, you can use any bright color like purple, orange, or even blue to make your space traveler unique!
How do I make the UFO look like it is glowing?
You can use a bright yellow or neon orange for the small circles on the rim of the saucer to make them look like glowing lights.
Should I color the sky blue?
A light blue sky works great for a daytime scene, but you could also use dark purple or black with yellow dots to turn it into a night flight under the stars.
