Cute Alien Waving From A Flying Saucer UFO Coloring Page

Both arms are up and both three fingered hands are open, so the greeting reads instantly even to a very young child. The alien has a wide oval head, two small antenna dots on the forehead, a curved smile and two large almond eyes filled in solid. A clear dome arcs over the shoulders, and the saucer underneath is a flattened disc with three big round lights along its rim and a small cone hanging below. That is the entire drawing. There is no background, no star field and no ground line, which leaves roughly two thirds of the sheet white. Very young colorers benefit from that emptiness, because the shapes are large and the gaps between lines are wide. Older children usually want to fill it, and this page invites that. Add a planet, a trail of stars, a landing beam or a second saucer in the distance. Greens and purples are the usual choice for the visitor, and metallic gray or bright turquoise suits the hull. The three rim lights are small enough to take a different color each without unbalancing the picture.
