What's In This Picture

You will find a cheerful character with two long antennae sprouting from its head, topped with round bobbles. Its large, expressive eyes and raised eyebrows give it a look of constant wonder. These focal points are the most important part of the drawing, as they convey the character's friendly personality.

The alien has a small, round body with slender arms and legs, ending in simple hands and feet. The lines are clean and bold, making it easy to stay within the borders. The background is completely open, providing a blank canvas where you can add stars, planets, or even a flying saucer to complete the scene.

Coloring Tips

Since this is a creature from outer space, you can use any colors you like. While many people think of aliens as being bright green, this one might look great in shades of purple, blue, or even neon orange. Using a darker color for the pupils of the eyes will help make the character look even more alive and focused.

You might try using crayons for the large body areas to get a smooth, consistent look. For the smaller details like the antennae tips or the eyebrows, markers can help those features pop. If you want to make it look truly extraterrestrial, consider using a bit of glitter glue or metallic pens to give the skin a cosmic shimmer.

Did You Know?

Scientists are constantly looking for signs of life on other planets using huge telescopes. While we haven't found any aliens yet, discovering new planets in far-away solar systems happens almost every day. Some of these planets are in the goldilocks zone, meaning they are just the right distance from their sun to potentially have water and life.

Try This!

After you finish coloring your new friend, you could draw a spaceship behind it or give it a name and write a short story about which planet it came from. You could also cut out the alien and tape it to a popsicle stick to make a fun puppet for a space-themed play.
