Volcanoes

Discover volcano islands, flowing lava and peaceful crater lakes. Print a simple landscape or explore more detailed rock formations.

A mountain above clouds or a rocky lava field

Choose by the shapes you want to work on: broad slopes or many separate rocks.

Volcanic crater above layers of clouds, beneath a crescent moon and stars, with foreground rocks.

Moonlit volcano

A central cone rises above layered clouds, with moon and stars overhead. Start here to separate sky, mountain and cloud edges.

Set the mountain apart from the clouds

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

Lavender volcano above white clouds with a yellow crescent moon and stars; foreground rocks and plants white.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Lavender mountain
  • 2. Yellow moon and stars
  • 3. White clouds
  1. Color the exposed mountain, including its crater rim and hollow, pale lavender. Keep the slope lines visible.
  2. Color the crescent moon and every star yellow.
  3. Leave clouds, sky, foreground rocks and plants white.

The lavender mountain ends at the cloud edges; the crater and slope lines remain readable.

Read the picture from front to back

Point first to the large rocks at the bottom, then the clouds, then the mountain. On scrap paper, draw one curved cloud line across the bottom of a triangle to see how one shape can hide part of another.
