This playful setting is filled with unusual plants and swirling skies that invite you to use your favorite colors. Whether they are visiting from a distant galaxy or just hanging out in their backyard, these cute aliens are ready for a bright and cheerful makeover. The variety of shapes and characters makes this a perfect choice for anyone who loves the mystery of the stars.

What's In This Picture
As you look across the cratered ground, you will find a variety of unique characters. One winged alien seems ready to take flight, while another alien with tentacles stands near a friend holding a flower. In the center, the alien in a UFO hovers above the ground, perhaps getting a better view of the mushrooms and alien plants that grow all around them.
The sky is just as busy as the ground, filled with planets with rings, glowing moons, and mysterious swirls in the sky. Every corner of this landscape offers something new to discover, from the small bushes tucked near the craters to the larger planets hanging in the distance. The moderate line density allows for plenty of detail without being too overwhelming for young artists.
Coloring Tips
Since this is a world of pure imagination, you can use any colors you like for these outer space friends. You might try using bright, neon shades like lime green or electric purple for the aliens to make them stand out against the ground. The mushrooms and alien plants look wonderful when colored with contrasting dots or stripes to show off their strange textures.
For the sky, consider blending different shades of blue, purple, and pink around the swirls to create a cosmic nebula effect. You can make the rings of the planets glow by using a lighter shade on the inner edges and a darker one on the outside. Using metallic markers for the UFO can give it a shiny, high-tech look that really pops against the softer colors of the landscape.
Did You Know?
Did you know that astronomers have found thousands of planets orbiting other stars? These are called exoplanets. While we haven't found any three-eyed aliens yet, some of these planets are in the Goldilocks Zone, which means they are just the right distance from their star to possibly have water and support life.
Try This!
After you finish coloring, try giving each of the aliens a funny name and a special job on their planet. You could also write a short story about why the alien is holding a flower or where the UFO is planning to fly next. Sharing your story with a friend makes the space adventure even better.
