Drakkar coloring page

Vikings used drakkar – long, slender ships with a large, square sail, adorned with a dragon's head and a carved figurehead. Powered by oars, the clinker-built hull had benches for the rowers.
This coloring page depicts a drakkar, a Viking longship. It is long, narrow and shallow-draft, with a clinker-built hull made of overlapping planks. In the middle is a mast with a large square sail, while the ship is powered by oarsmen on the benches along each side. The stern features a steering oar and the prow is adorned with a dragon’s head figurehead. To bring this classic seafaring ship to life, use tones of blue to illustrate the waves and the sea, with wooden yellow and brown for the ship’s hull. The sail and mast could be white or red for contrast, and the dragon head could be painted in classic gold and orange hues. Finally, give the Vikings a splash of color with their clothing, and make sure the steering oar looks weathered and well-used.
