What's In This Picture

In the center of the page, a cute alien character stands with a happy expression. Its most striking features are its two large, round eyes and its tiny, smiling mouth. Moving up from its head, you will find two unique swirly antennae that look ready to pick up signals from across the universe. The alien has small, simple arms and legs that give it a very approachable and non-threatening appearance.\n\nThe surrounding environment is a peaceful night sky. A glowing crescent moon sits to one side, while several stars of different sizes are scattered around the alien. These elements create a sense of depth and wonder, inviting you to create a beautiful celestial backdrop. Every part of the drawing, from the alien's smooth body to the sharp points of the stars, provides a different shape to explore with your favorite coloring tools.

Coloring Tips

Since this is a whimsical character, you can use any colors you like! While we often think of aliens as green, this friendly fellow would look just as great in shades of bright purple, electric blue, or even sunny orange. Use a darker shade for the pupils of the large eyes to make them really stand out and look expressive.\n\nFor the background, consider using a deep navy or a rich violet to represent the vastness of space. You can make the stars and crescent moon pop by using a bright yellow or a shimmering metallic gold. If you are using colored pencils, try blending two different colors on the alien's body to give it a glowing, otherworldly effect. Softly shading around the edges of the stars can also create a gentle twinkling look.

Did You Know?

Did you know that astronomers have discovered thousands of planets orbiting other stars? These are called exoplanets. While we haven't found any aliens like the one on this page yet, scientists use giant telescopes to look for signs of life and water on these far-away worlds.

Try This!

After you finish coloring, try giving your alien a name and writing a short story about which planet it comes from. You could also draw a spaceship nearby or use some glitter glue on the stars to make the night sky truly sparkle under your bedroom lights.
