What's In This Picture

Inside the spaceship cockpit, you will find a busy control panel filled with levers, buttons, and tangled wires. Look closely to see a wrench and a pencil floating nearby, showing how things behave in zero gravity. There is even a banana and a small globe drifting through the air near the porthole.

Through the window, a view of planets and twinkling stars awaits the traveler. The owl astronaut is the star of the show, holding an open book as they navigate their vessel through the deep reaches of the universe. The moderate line density makes it easy to distinguish between the metallic ship parts and the soft feathers of our brave explorer.

Coloring Tips

For the owl, try using warm browns or soft greys to make the feathers stand out against the metallic cockpit. The space suit looks great in bright white or shiny silver, while the control panel is a perfect place to use many different colors for the buttons and lights. You might use a dark navy or deep purple for the view outside the window to make the yellow stars pop.

Using a light blue or pale grey wash inside the helmet can give it a glass-like appearance without hiding the owl's focused expression. If you want to make the scene feel more high-tech, try using neon colors for the various wires and levers. You can also add some shimmer to the stars with a glitter pen if you have one.

Did You Know?

Owls have excellent vision and can see perfectly in low light, which would make them great explorers of the dark universe. Even though owls are very smart, real astronauts have to study for many years before they can fly into space. They even have to learn how to eat and move without gravity, just like the floating banana in this picture.

Try This!

You could try to identify all the different planets visible through the window and give them names based on the colors you choose. After coloring, imagine what story the owl is reading and write a short sentence at the bottom of the page about their latest cosmic adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What color should the space suit be?
Most space suits are white to reflect heat, but you can make yours any color, like bright orange or metallic silver!
Why is the banana floating?
In space, there is no gravity to pull things down, so everything inside the spaceship floats around freely unless it is tied down.
How do I color the glass helmet?
Use a very light touch of blue or grey around the edges of the helmet to show it is clear glass while still seeing the owl inside.
For best results, print on standard letter size (8.5" x 11") paper using your printer's "Fit to Page" setting.
