Four Fantasy Coloring Pages - Centaurs, Mermiad, Fairy, & Nymph

This is my free coloring pages blog.  I am a retired science teacher who draws a lot!  

There are around 3000 pages on this site.  I drew all of them except maybe 8. 

Those drawings were done by a grandniece and grandnephew. 

Today, since I am behind at posting due to scary health issues, I am posting 4 drawings.  

These are all Fantasy drawings.  

By the way, if you are a person of Faith, please pray for me, my wife, & our extended family. 

 I have another surgery on Tuesday.  My name is Robin Lyman. 

My wife is Laurel Lyman. 

So, here are 4 more drawings...


Centaur Couple on Patrol by a Forest River

Centaurs are noble and intelligent. They prefer to live in forested areas away from Man.  They can defend themselves and the forest, but they do not seek out trouble with Man.  They have some magic that helps them stay hidden from prying human eyes.  I should note that these two Centaurs are the smaller class of Centaurs.  They are somewhat small compared to the larger Centaurs.  These Centarus  could be considered about the size of a pony.  But DON'T ever call any Centaur a horse term. 




Young Mermaid Swimming near a Coral Reef
Mermaids are also highly intelligent. They build hidden cities in the sea. I should add that Mermaids are female Merpeople and there are also Mermen. This Mermaid is named Avinia.  She is in a safe area near her Fairy Village at the edge of a coral reef so she is not armed with a mini-trident that many Merpeople carry. Notice the brain coral Avinia is swimming past.  I should also mention that Avinia has a more commonly seen horizontal tail fluke.  I have recently drawn the other kind of Mermaid - the type with the verticle tail fluke more like a fish.  But Merpoeple are mammals.  But they have special curtain lungs that allow them to breathe both air and water.  To be more specific their lungs can extract oxygen from both water and air.  Of course, they have some magic that helps them hide themselves and their undersea villages from mortal or human eyes.  Fairies, Nymphs, Centaurs, and Merpeople all have pointed ears.  



Mountain Butterfly Fairy
This Fairy is with a Rocky Mountain Parassian butterfly.  Notice that the Fairy has wings that mimic her butterfly friend. This is an ability that Butterfly Fairies have.  Mountain Butterfly Fairies live at a high elevation.  Their hidden villages are usually under an Aspen tree.  Since a stand of Aspen is all one plant, Rocky Mountain Fairies have the biggest villages of any Fairy in North America. 



Water Nymph or Naiad with Swan

The Water Nymph or Naiad is a benevolent AKA kind being.  They live in fresh water and are friendly to humans when they actually let a human see them.  They appear as beautiful young women.  The Naiads do not age like mortals do.  They are extremely long-lived and they look young almost to the day of their death hundreds and hundreds of years after their birth.  This is not widely known but there ARE male Nymphs and Naiads.  But the males prefer not to ever contact or interact with mortals.  You also should know that the female Naiads prefer to wear loose, flowing, and somewhat translucent dresses.  These thin dresses are easy to swim in. Naiads carry wands like Fairies do.  They do not carry a trident like many of their ocean-dwelling cousins the Sea Nymphs and Merpeople.
