Fantasy coloring pages

Step into a fairy tale with these fantasy coloring pages: a fairy resting on a mushroom, a unicorn in a flower meadow and a castle on a cliff with a dragon flying overhead. These pages invite you to pick any colors you want, from a rainbow mane for the unicorn to glowing wings for the fairy and a fiery dragon over the castle towers. There are lots of small details to discover, like flowers, stones, windows and clouds, so each page can be colored in one sitting or a little at a time over a few days. Children love inventing stories about the characters while they color, and adults can use these pages to practice blending and shading with colored pencils. Download the free printable PDF in A4 or Letter size, or color the page on screen in the Pencilbloom app and save it. If you enjoy these, you can also learn to draw your own unicorn or castle with our step-by-step lessons.

How to print and color this page

Every coloring page on Pencilbloom is a free printable PDF with clean, closed outlines, so each area is easy to fill without going over the lines. Here is how to get the best result at home.

  1. Tap Download PDF to save the page, or Print to send it straight to your printer. When both sizes are offered, pick A4 or US Letter to match your paper.
  2. Print at 100% scale, often called “actual size”, so the outlines stay sharp and nothing is cut off at the edges.
  3. Use plain white paper for colored pencils and crayons. For markers or paint, thicker paper of 120 g/m² or more stops the ink from bleeding through.
  4. Start with the largest areas in light colors, then add darker shades, patterns and small details last. Light layers are easier to fix than dark ones. If you don’t like a color, you can usually cover it with a darker one.
  5. Take your time: a detailed page can take an hour or more, and it is fine to finish it over a few days. Good light makes the colors easier to judge.
  6. Not sure which colors to choose? Open the page in the Pencilbloom app: its camera shows which color goes where on your printed sheet, one area at a time.
  7. Coloring with kids? Print one copy each, or print a spare to test your colors before you start on the real page. Little ones can start with the big areas and leave the fine details to grown-ups.

When you finish, pick another picture from the coloring pages below, or learn to draw one yourself with a step-by-step lesson.
