3 More Mermaid coloring pages

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawings are of 3 different Mermaids. 

Tracia the Mommy Mermaid

I last drew Tracia when she was expecting. Well, the merbaby arrived a while ago. His name is Mikey!  As you can see, Tracia sometimes is a Treasure Mermaid as well. Here she has found a priceless giant diamond and a chest of treasure. Her baby, Mikey, is swimming nearby. Baby Merpeople can swim as soon as they are born. Of course, they can also extract oxygen from the water with their specialized lungs. A Mereperson can get oxygen from both the air and from water. 

Can you spot the sea anemone and a clownfish?  How about the shark, the two jellyfish, the clams, the starfish, the sea turtle, and the eel?  There is also a small striped tropical fish and a brain coral. 

A Young Mercouple in Love

This is a pair of Merpeople who are in love. They are meeting at a seastack that is in shallow water. You can see a cruise ship off in the distance. Some Merpeople like to appear briefly to cruise passengers to give them a thrill. 

Can you spot the clam? How about the starfish, the crab, the brain coral, two fish, and several barnacles on the seastack? There is also a pair of Laughing Gulls. These gulls are one of the species of gulls with a black head. Only the male has a black head.  Laughing Gulls are common all along the East Coast of North America.  With that in mind, is this the Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean? 

Cruise Mermaid on the Dunes by a Beach

This is Playa a Cruise Mermaid. She also could also be called a Beach Mermaid. As was mentioned earlier, some Merpeople like to give cruiseship passaners a brief glimpse. Playa can, like all Mermaids and Mermen, can transform into mortal form. 

The Trident that Playa is holding is like a wand that Fairies carry. In fact, some people think that Merpeople are actually a type of Water Fairy or Ocean Fairy.  These sentient beings live in cities under the sea and they use their magic to keep hidden from mortal eyes.

B-1 Bomber escorted by F-15s

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing is of a B-1 Bomber and two Fighter Aircraft. 

B-1 Bomber escorted by F-15s 

The B-1 Bomber is a large bomber operated by the United States Air Force. It has the highest payload of any bomber currently in the Air Force.  It can carry up to 75,000 lbs or 34,000 kg of munitions - and that is just internally. It has a wingspan of 137 feet when extended. But the wings can swing to be swept back and then they are only 75 feet wide. It is 146 feet long. Fully loaded the B-1 weighs up to 470,000 lbs. 

The B-1 Bomber has a range of 7,500 miles or 12,000 km. It has a maximum speed of 900 mph... or about Mach 1.25. That means 1.25 x the speed of sound... or 1,148 kph. By the way, the range can be extended by mid-air refuling. 

This B-1 is being excorted by 2 F-15 Fighters. The F-15 has never lost an air to air fight ever. It is now being produced in a new and modern form called the F-15EX. This newest version has all the bells and whistles. It has modern radar, fly by wire controls, etc. etc. That etc. includes an amazingly fast and powerful computer and digital displays. 

The F-15EX is about 64 feet long. It has a wingspan of about 43 feet. It has a top speed of Mach 2.5 or 1,900 mph or 2,655 kph. So it can fly 2.5 x the speed of sound. The speed of sound is 761 mph at sea level. Of course that speed changes depending upon the elevation - density of the air.  The F-15EX is the fastest USA fighter aircraft. It may be the fastest fighter jet in the world. 

The B-1 was built years ago. It is still in service, but althought it IS supersonic, AKA very fast, it is not a stealth aircraft. The F-15 was introduced five decades ago, but the newest version is being built now and has many modern systems. The F-15EX will be in service for many years to come. The B-1 will probably be retired sometime around 2035. However, the even older B-52 is being upgraded and will continue in service many more years. I wonder if the B-1 might get modernized rather than retired. Afterall, the B-52 is still around and it carries 5,000 lbs less payload.  That is true except there is a conjecture about the B-1 Lancer being able to possibly carry up to 125,000 lbs of armament of bombs and missiles. 

That reminds me. The B-1 in called the Lancer. The newest F-15 or the F-15EX is called the Eagle II. And in this drawing the aircraft are flying above the clouds where they can fly the fastest. Of course the Eagle II fighters are escorting the Lancer so the fighters would not be going their top speed - which is about 2 x the top speed of the bomber.

Mother Nanotyrannus at Hatching Time

 This is my free coloring page blog with thousands of drawings I have colored for you to print and color.

Today's new drawing is of a type of Tyrannosaur called Nanotyrannus.

Mother Nanotyrannus at Hatching Time

Nanotyrannus is or was a smaller species of Tyrannosaur. It was 15 to 18 feet or 4.5 to 6.6 meters long. It weighed 1000 to 1550 lbs or massed at 450 to 700 meters. It lived as a contemporary predator at the same time as T. rex. 

Some paleontologists have postulated that Nanotyrannus was a juvenile T. rex. More recent studies ahve confirmed that it was its own unique species. It probably preyed on smaller animals so that it did not directly compete with the much larger cousin Tyrannosaurus rex. Nanotyrannus was probably covered or at least partially covered with feathers or hair-like protofeathers.

Jesus is Mourning for Jerusalem coloring page

 

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today I am posting a drawing I did of Jesus.

In this drawing He is mourning for Jerusalem.

Jesus is mourning for Jerusalem

You could call Jesus the greatest prophet. Of course, he also was and is the Son of God. He knew what was going to happen to Jerusalem 30+ years later. He prophesied of the destruction, and He mourned for the people that would be in Jerusalem when it was going to be defeated and destroyed by a superior Roman army. Jesus did not delight in the suffering that would come on the Jews and others who would be living in Jerusalem. 

Jesus came to Earth as the Son of God. He could die because of His mortal mother, Mary. Yet he had power over death because of His Father in Heaven being the Father of His temporal body. Of course, we are all spirit children of our Heavenly Parents. But Jesus was the Only Begotten in the flesh. Jesus taught the people about being kind and unselfish. Yet He also stood up to the leaders who were hypocrites. Yet Jesus' main task on Earth was to suffer and die for our sins. Then He was resurrected and made it possible for all of us to be resurrected one day. We will be resurrected with immortal bodies that will be free of imperfections and illness, etc. 

NOTE: This drawing will be posted on the printable section of this blog. Just click on the "Religious" button and scroll down to the bottom of the "New Testament" section. Have fun coloring this drawing. 

Three Cliff Fairies coloring pages

 Today on this site, my free coloring pages blog, 

I am posting 3 drawings I have done of Cliff Fairies.

These are printable coloring pages to be printed and colored at home.

Rosia the Desert Cliffrose Fairy

Cliff Fairies live high up on cliffs. They can transform to mortal size, like these three in this post. They are lookouts and watch for danger and often help keep animals safe. This first Cliff Fairy is a Cliffrose Fairy because HER village is located under a cliffrose plant that is growing out of the cliff. Almost all Fairies live under trees or plants - meaning underground in hollowed-out caverns that have high technology and magic mixed. These villages are beautiful, and the Fairies have to be their natural size to be there.  That size is around 5 inches tall or so. 

The dark stains on the rock are magnesium stains. These stains are found in the red-rock desert of the Southwest in the United States, including here in Southern Utah. 

Savannah the African Cliff Fairy

On bluffs that overlook parts of the Savannah in Africa, it is where the African Cliff Fairies live. They keep watch over the wildlife, and in fact, they help the mortal authorities find poachers. They have also known to use their own magic to discourage poachers who are after rhinos and elephants. The stupidity of thinking that rhino horns are somehow magical is something that is disgusting to the Fairy community.  The Fairies KNOW magic, and magic isn't from rhinoceros hours. 

Fairies are often friendly with elephants, and the ivory trade is just as disgusting to Fairies as the trade in rhino horns. You will never find a Fairy of Light with an ivory wand. There are a very few Dark Fairies who use ivory wands. 

Papilia the Two-Tailed Swallowtail Cliff Fairy

Papilia is from my neck of the woods. She lives high up in the Utah mountains. Her wings mimic the wings of the Two-Tailed Swallowtail butterfly. The Two-Tailed Swallowtail butterfly lives high up in the Rocky Mountains - including here in the high parts of the Utah mountain ranges. Their scientific name is Papilio multicaudata.  This name refers to them being butterflies with more than one tail on each wing. Obviously, they have two tails on each wing. One tail is longer than the other. 

You may notice that Papilia is not a slender Fairy. Many artists only draw or paint tiny, slender Fairies. Those drawings are fine. But Fairies come in many sizes and colors... or in many races, in fact. 

Obviously, the second two drawings are done from the summer perspective. Those two Fairies are wearing summer outfits to stay cool. Although Fairy Magic can also help Fairies keep warm or cool.

Many Fairies like to wear living plant matter for their clothing. All three of these Fairies are wearing outfits made of woven leaves and/or woven plants like grass.

Giant Squid hunted by a Sperm Whale math counting picture puzzle & coloring page

Today's new coloring page drawing is of a Giant Squid being hunted by a Sperm Whale.  

It is also a math or counting picture puzzle

This is my free coloring pages blog. I have drawn over 

3000 pictures for you to print and color. Have fun coloring!

 Giant Squid hunted by a Sperm Whale

Sperm Whales are one of the biggest carnivores on the planet. They are possibly the biggest true carnivores because, unlike blue whales, sperm whales don't eat plankton. Sperm whales eat giant squid. Sperm whales are the largest toothed predators since they have teeth instead of baleen. These giant squid that sperm whales eat can be up to 43 feet or 13 meters long. That's the females. The males are a bit smaller at 33 feet or 10 meters long.  A sperm whale can be up to 66 feet or 20 meters long. They can weigh up to 57 tons. 

See if you can count the number of different ocean species in this drawing.  Can you name, or basically name, the different types of animals? Then count how many total individual animals there are in the drawing. Answers located below.

Jesus praying in the Mountains coloring page Also, the importance of communing with God in Nature

 You have found or re-found my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's free coloring page is a drawing I did of Jesus praying in the mountains. 

Jesus goes to the Mountains to Pray

Being the God of Nature, I think Jesus loved communing with God the Father, while in Nature. Jesus created the Earth, and He was incredibly powerful, even as a sort of mortal. In fact, Jesus was a willing sacrifice. He could have used His power to stop the illegal trial and even to come down from the cross. But Jesus loved us so much that He had volunteered, in our premortal life, to suffer and die for our sins. 

Because of Jesus' atonement, we can be forgiven for our sins if we choose to repent and strive to do better. Then, because of His resurrection, we all will be resurrected one day. 

I also want to say that getting out in Nature is good for our souls. Hiking, fishing, hunting, birding, Nature photography, mountain biking, etc., get you out in Nature. There is an excellent book called  Last Child In The Woods that talks about how important being in Nature is to our kids and us.  And obviously, being in Nature was important to our Savior as well. 

In my religion, me being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we have the event of Joseph Smith going out into Nature to pray. He wondered which church was true. So, he went out early in the morning of a spring day into Nature... namely, a grove of woods near his father's farm. When he prayed, Joseph was visited by God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.  

Our understanding is that the Word (Jesus) made the world, under the direction of His Father in Heaven. In fact, we are all spirit children of our Heavenly Parents. In our premortal life, Jesus was our eldest spirit brother. 

NOTE: This drawing is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Religious." Then scroll down to the bottom of the New Testament section. There are a LOT of New Testament drawings, because I like drawing Jesus.   Below is a previously posted drawing of Joseph Smith and his first vision where he saw Heavenly Father and Jesus in what we now call the Sacred Grove.

Shoebill Bird coloring page

 This is my free coloring page blog.

Today's new coloring page drawing I have done for you is a Shoebill.

Shoebill wading in a Lake

Shoebills are amazing birds. They can be as tall as 5 feet. They can grab fish with their large bills. There is a sharp spike on the end of their bill that acts like a spear for spearfishing. These birds are found in Africa. They have a very unique sound. They clack the top and bottom half of their bill together to make a lound sound that resembles a machine gun sound. 

NOTE: To find this drawing in printable form, just click on the "Birds" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the list of birds. If you are accessing this blog in early 2026, then you will find the title of this picture at or near the bottom of the list. New drawings are placed at the bottom of the list.

New Raptor Dinosaur from Denmark coloring page

 

This is my free coloring page blog. 

Today's new drawing is of a newly discovered raptor dinosaur from Denmark. 

Dromaeosauroides and Caulkicephalus

This drawing is of two Early Cretaceous Period animals. One is possibly one of the very earliest Raptor dinosaurs. The other is a Pterosaur. Both lived in what is now Europe. The Raptor lived in what is now Denmark. 

Dromarosauroides was around 7-10 feet long or 2-3 meters long. It had that killer toe claw and may have been the first dinosaur to have that. 

The Pterosaur had a wingspan of 16.5 feet or 5 meters wide. So, the one in this picture is a ways off in the distance. 

NOTE: This drawing is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology." Then scroll down to the bottom of the Mesozoic Life section. If you are accessing this in January of 2026 then this drawing's title will be at or near the bottom of the Mesozoic part of the list. 

I also want to add that Leonardo DaVinci said that an artists never completes a work of art, they abandon it.  Although I don't have his talent... I agree with that saying. I decided to UN-abondon this drawing because I realized the snout was too short on the raptor dinosaur. I also added a Eurotitan Sauropod dinosaur in the background. 

Flying Dragon coloring page

 

This is my free coloring pages blog.

I have drawn for you over 3000 coloring pages.

Wyvern Dragon Flying High

This type of dragon is called a Wyvern. They are a type of dragon with wings and two legs. Some people do not consider them true dragons because they do not have four legs. 

NOTE:  This drawing in printable form is found by clicking on the "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the list of drawings.

Angel playing Her Harp coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

I drew for you today a Heavenly drawing. 

Angel playing Her Harp

My granddaughter asked me to draw an angel playing a harp. So here it is. I actually don't believe that angels have wings. I wonder if the glory around angels can LOOK like wings. I also doubt that angels live on clouds. I actually believe that angels assigned to this planet are all souls who came to or will come to this planet. This is based on the knowledge of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Before we lived with mortal bodies, we lived as spirit children of our Heavenly Parents. We lived in what is called the Premortal Life, or sometimes called the Preexistence. Our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother sent us to Earth as a test and to receive mortal bodies. When we die, our spirit goes to the Spirit World, where we are judged for temporary placement. Good people go teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to other spirits. Good people go to Paradise while evil people must go to Spirit Prison to pay the price for the sins they did not repent of. People in Paradise repented and were cleansed through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. By the way, Jesus was there in the Premortal Life, too. He was our elder brother and volunteered to be our Savior and to pay the eternal price for our sins... so that we could be forgiven. 

Eventually, we are resurrected and face the final judgement. Then we are assigned to one of three Kingdoms of Glory. The Celestial Kingdom, The Terrestrial Kingdom, or the Telestial Kingdom. VERY evil people will be assigned to Outer Darkness. To learn more, contact missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 

NOTE: This drawing is found by clicking on the button labeled "Religious" and then scrolling down to the last drawing in "General Religious."  Have fun coloring the angel and her heart. Also, feel free to make this a colorful drawing. At the very least the clouds (I think) should be multicolored and beautiful to look out, not gray and dreary.  In fact, notice that they are "Happy Clouds." (Thank you, Bob Ross!)

Bakiribu, a Filter Feeder Pterosaur from Brazil coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing or coloring page is of a newly discovered Pterosaur from Brazil.

Bakiribu, a Filter Feeder Pterosaur from Brazil

This Pterosaur was a filter feeder. It had a large beak with tiny hair-like teeth like baleen in a whale's mouth. So Bakiribu ate tiny things like krill, blue-green algae, plankton, etc. It did not eat fish like most Pterosaurs.

 Bakiribu was discovered in a "regurgitite" or fossilized vomit. (Yuck!)  The regurgitite had fish bones as well, and it is thought that the Pterosaur was eaten by a Spinosaur. Spinosaurs, like Spinosaurus, were primarily fish eaters or piscivores. Apparently, a Spinosaur caught the Bakiribu when the Pterosaur was feeding in the water.

Paleontologists are not sure of the size of Bakiribu. It was probably a medium-sized Pterosaur with a wingspan of something like 10-15 feet. That is 3-5 or so meters. The name "Bakiribu" means 
"comb" in Kariri, an indigenous language of eastern Brazil. Sadly, that language is no longer spoken. The Pterosaur was named "comb" because its mouth had comb-like teeth for filter feeding in the water.

NOTE: This coloring page I drew for you can be printed by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology." Then scroll down to this title. It will be found at the bottom of the Mesozoic Life section. Have fun coloring this unique Pterosaur. 

House Finch coloring page

 

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today the new drawing is from a photo I took near our home.

It is a drawing of a House Finch.

House Finch on a Branch

My House Finch photo

This drawing is based on the photo I took on our daily walk. Obviously, the drawing is only based on the photo, not exact. We see this House Finch frequently. The photo was taken near sunset, so the light is not great, so the orange colors are not clear. But we could see the orange with our naked eyes. If you look up House Finch, you will see the colors better. I am pretty sure this is a male bird. They have an orange stripe on their head above their eye. The males also have an orange upper chest. The House Finch is around 5 3/4 to 6 inches long. That is 14-15 cm. Their range is from Washington State down to the Baja Peninsula and over to Texas; then from the West Coast over to the Midwest USA, & on to New England. My wife Laurel and I are birders, so we notice birds. 

NOTE: This drawing is found in a printable form by clicking on the "Birds" button, then scrolling down to the bottom of the list of bird pictures. Click on this title, and you will get your House Finch coloring page.  Have fun coloring! 

Lexia the Paint Unicorn Fairy coloring page

 

So, you have found or refound this, my free coloring pages blog.

I, Robin Lyman, have drawn over 3000 coloring pages for you to print and color.

Today I drew a Paint Unicorn with her Fairy Friend, Lexia.

Lexia the Paint Unicorn Fairy

Fairies are often friends with Unicorns. In fact, some Fairies and Unicorns are BEST friends. That is the case with Lexia and Pintada. Lexia is a Unicorn Fairy, and Pintada is her best friend, a Paint Unicorn Fairy. Of course, you are seeing Lexia in full mortal size. Like all Fairies, Lexia can transform to mortal size.  Her natural Fairy size is about 5 inches tall. 

You should know that Lexia and Pintada both love animals and seek to take care of them. Lexia even works in the mortal world when she is not in the Fairy Realm. She works with animals, and they love her. I have seen this firsthand.  Of course, almost all Fairies love animals. And pretty much all Unicorns love Fairies and other animals. However, realize that Unicorns are sentient beings like mortal humans, Fairies, Elves, Dwarfs, and Merpeople. Since Unicorns do not have the vocal structure to talk, they communicate with Fairies telepathically. 

Like most Fairies, Lexia is very beautiful. But much of that beauty rests inside - that is, she is a very kind and good Fairy and kindness and goodness ARE beautiful. 

Unicorns are also considered beautiful and part of that is Unicorns are Creatures of Light. They too are good and kind. 

Let me explain that this drawing was done rather quickly tonight with not a lot of detail. The wings are lacewings, and they are translucent - almost transparent. Also, Paint Unicorns have the magical power to change their spots to different colors. You might see a Paint Unicorn IF you are very special. And you may see them with several different colors of spots, like a Rainbow Unicorn. OR you may see them with only one color of spots, like a typical paint horse.

Eve giving Adam the Forbidden Fruit coloring page

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog. 

I am doing something different this year. I hope to have an illustration to go along with the study schedule

of the Old Testament that 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is doing this year.

Hence, today's drawing, which was done during Sunday School,

is of Adam and Eve.

Eve gives Adam the Forbidden Fruit

Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden in an immortal state. They were commanded not to partake of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, or there would be consequences. Eve partook of the fruit first, then she gave some to Adam. This made them both mortal and subject to death. They were sent out into the world to live by the sweat of their brow... meaning they would have to work. 

This decision was actually a wise and knowing decision they made so that they could have children and have a mortal existence and test here on Earth. 

NOTE: This coloring page can be printed by clicking on the button labeled "Religious." Then, scroll down to the last title in the Old Testament section.  There are a few other drawings of Adam and Eve.

Allosaurus Close-Up coloring page

 

Welcome to my free coloring pages blog.

There are well over 3000 drawings I have done as coloring pages.

Feel free to print and color them.

Today, we have a new drawing of Allosaurus.

Allosaurus Close-Up

It has been a while since I posted one of my dinosaur drawings. So today I drew one of my favorite Theropods, Allosaurus. Allosaurus was an extremely successful genus of large predatory or Theropod dinosaurs. They grew up to 40 feet long. Although similar to a T. rex, Allosaurus lived in the Jurassic Period around 155-145 million years ago. T. rex appeared 72 million years ago in the late Cretaceous Period. So, these two dinosaurs were separated in time by 73 million years. Therefore, Tyrannosaurus lived closer to OUR time than it did to Allosaurus. Isn't that interesting? 

Allosaurus was a top predator, although there were a few other Theropods, like Torvosaurus. Allosaurs mostly were around 2500 lbs; however, some may have grown up to 4500 lbs. This was significantly lighter than T. rex. But again, T. rex never ran into an Allosaurus. 

On this close-up drawing, notice that you can see the marks of the fenestra in the skull. These fenestra were holes in the skull that made the skull lighter and gave powerful muscles places to attach. Allosaurus had a smaller skull than T. rex, and it had much larger and more useful arms with three deadly claws for grappling with prey. 

Many modern reptiles have stripes or spots, so I gave this Allosaurus spots. The small dinosaur in the background is a Dryosaurus and it has stripes. It was a small herbivore Iguanodont with a weight of only 175-200 lbs. 

NOTE: This drawing is available in printable form by clicking on the "Paleontology" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the "Mesozoic" section. Click on the title and you can print the coloring page that I drew today just for you.  Have fun coloring!
