Realistic Viper Resting on a Flat Rock Coloring Page

A viper stretches along the top of a flat slab and lets its tail hang over the left edge, which is exactly what these snakes do to warm up in the morning. The head lifts at the right with the tongue out, and the neck narrows before it reaches the jaw.

Zigzag bands run the length of the back, each one an open outline, so the pattern stays yours to fill. Smaller scale marks crowd along the upper edge of the body above them.

The slab is nearly plain. Short seams split it into a few facets and a couple of light cracks cross the face, and that is all, which keeps it from competing with the animal lying on top of it.

For a bold two color treatment this is the strongest sheet in the set. Take the zigzags in a dark tone, leave the body between them light, and the pattern will read from across a room once it goes on a wall.

The bottom half of the page is bare paper. Add a horizon line down there if the sheet looks too heavy at the top.
