Giganotosaurus coloring pages

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing is of a Giganotosaurus at an Overlook.

Giganotosaurus at an Overlook

(new drawing)

Giganotosaurus was a large Theropod dinosaur from South America.  It lived and ruled 30 million years BEFORE T. rex ruled in North America.  Estimates on its size vary but some suggest it was 43 feet long (13.2 meters) and weighed up to 15 tons.  One jaw fragment was found that was 8% larger than previous finds so that is where the 43 feet length comes from. 

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, along with the other older drawings seen down below, are found by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology."  The new drawing will be at the bottom of the drop-down menu in the Mesozoic portion of the list.  These drawings in the drop-down menu list are the printable pages.  Below are drawings from previous posts.  All are of Giganotosaurus.

Giganotosaurus bones were found near Argentinosaurus bones 

so Giganotosuarus probably preyed on this huge Sauropod.

Owl Fairy and Owls coloring pages

 Today we have two new drawings. 

One is a modified version of the first drawing. 

Both are of an owl.  ONE includes an Owl Fairy. 

Owl Fairy and Owl

This started out as a quick cartoon drawing for our 18-month-old granddaughter.  It is of an owl... probably a Great Horned Owl.  Owls are amazing birds.  They fly nearly silently.  They have an incredible sense of hearing.  They also have great night vision.  2/3 of an owl's brain is devoted to their sense of sight and their sense of hearing.  So that only leaves 1/3 of their brain for higher-level thinking or cognitive functions.  So that is contrary to the old view of wise old owls.  In other words, owls are actually not highly intelligent birds like a raven.  There are 250 species of Owl.  They live on every continent except Antarctica.  Some owls are native to islands like the Short Eared Owl of the Galapagos Islands.  

Owl Fairies are friendly with Owls.  As you can imagine, Owl Fairies are a type of Night Fairy.  Owl Fairies have extra-large eyes like the Nordic People tend to have.  This helps Scandinavian people gather light and see better.  This is an evolved adaptation because it is dark so much of the year in countries like Norway.  Of course, that is why Owls have large eyes too.  Owls are active at night and need to be able to see in the dark.  (By the way, my wife is of Norwegian ancestry and she has big beautiful Nordic eyes.  She also can see in the dark much better than I can.)

Just below this paragraph is my original drawing of just a simple owl.  It is less shaded and there is no Fairy in this drawing.  There is a star where I later added the Owl Fairy.

Ranaiya the Frog Fairy coloring page

This is a free coloring pages blog.

I drew all 1700+ drawings for you to print and color. 

Today's new drawing is of a Frog Fairy named Ranaiya.

Ranaiya the Frog Fairy

Frog Fairies have an affinity for frogs, toads, and salamanders.  This type of Fairy is a type of River or Pond or Lake Fairy.  They love to hang out on lily pads with frogs and other small amphibians.  Frog Fairies have lacewings, like many insects found near bodies of water... like lacewing flies, dragonflies, etc. 

The frog is a common frog.  It is Ranaiya's friend.  The Frog Fairy is named Ranaiya.  Her name is based on the Latin word "rana" which means "frog."   In this drawing, Ranaiya is choosing to hang out in her Modified Fairy Size.  This makes her about 12 inches or about 30.5 cm. tall.   She normally, in Fairy Size, would be about 5 inches tall. 

Common Frogs are about 3-4 inches in body length.  They are native to Europe and Great Britain.  They live from Great Britain to Russia.  They are also known by the names Grass Frog and Russet Frog. 

One more thing about Frog Fairies.  They are known as being one of the most beautiful of all Fairies.

Futeristic Space Shuttle and Spaceplane coloring pages

Welcome to my free coloring pages blog.

Today we have two new drawings. 

They are drawings of space ships going to the moons of other planets. 

Futuristic Space Shuttle visits Mimas the Death Star-like Moon of Saturn

My four-year-old grandson asked me to draw a space shuttle.  I drew these two drawings.  The moon seen in this first drawing is a moon of Saturn.  It kind of looks like the Death Star from Star Wars.  My grandson wanted a comet and an asteroid in the drawing too.  Can you find them?  By the way, this is a drawing of a space shuttle from the future, not the ones that NASA retired a few years ago. 

Futuristic Spaceplane visits Ganymede the largest Moon of Jupiter

This drawing is of a spaceplane visiting the moon of Jupiter called Ganymede.  It is a huge moon.  It is the biggest moon in the solar system and the biggest thing after the official planets.  It has possibly more water than all of the Earth's oceans.  Ganymede also is the only moon with a magnetic field - which means it is big enough to have a liquid metal core that is spinning and creating the magnetic field.  Some books have been written about settling this moon.  But we now know it is mostly covered in frozen ocean.  My favorite story or Sci Fi story about Ganymede is called Farmer In The Sky by Robert Heinlein. 

The other three Galilean moons are in this drawing as well.  There are four moons discovered by Galileo.  

These drawings, in printable form, are found by clicking on the button labeled: "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus."  Then scroll down to the bottom of the drop-down menu of titles.  New drawings are always at the bottom of the correct list.  

Flower Fairy named Lilieae and some other Flower Fairy and Butterfly Fairy coloring pages

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing is of a Flower Fairy named Lilieae.

Flower Fairy named Lilieae

Flower Fairies are often also often Butterfly Fairies.  This Flower Fairy, named Lilieae, is also a Butterfly Fairy.  She is named after the Tribe name for Tulips.  Tribe is a level of classification just before Genus.  Notice that one of the nearby flowers is a tulip.  Tulips are monocot flowers that are actually in Family: Liliaceae or the Lily family.  

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the button labeled "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus."  Then scroll down to the bottom of the list.  New drawings are at the bottom of the list.  I am including a few other Flower Fairy and Butterfly Fairy drawings from previous posts.
