This one is a landscape with a creature in it, and the mountains underneath are what give the dragon its height. Leave the sky white and the peaks pale, and the dragon stays the darkest thing on the page, which is the only way the composition works. The tail runs almost the full width. This dragon coloring page to print fills an afternoon. The fire breather is the louder one.

A long dragon flying above a mountain range.
