Realistic Cobra With Its Hood Spread Wide Coloring Page

A cobra raises the front third of its body off the ground and spreads its hood, which is the pose everyone pictures when they hear the word cobra. The hood is the biggest blank area on the animal and it is the obvious place to try a pattern. A real cobra spreads that hood by swinging long ribs outward under the skin, and it only does it when something has worried it. The rest of the body coils on the ground and carries rows of open scale and diamond outlines, so the sheet gives you a plain area and a patterned one to play against each other. Colour the hood in one bold tone and keep the coils lighter to make the animal look tall.
