Chinese New Year Coloring Pages
In this collection of Chinese New Year coloring pages, you’ll find drawings of dragons, symbolic animals, and other elements of this holiday.
Chinese New Year Coloring Pages: Introduction
I know many of you enjoy coloring pages and drawing lessons related to holidays, so I’ve put together this special collection of Chinese New Year coloring pages. It includes a wide variety of illustrations centered around the celebration. A large part of the collection focuses on animals associated with the holiday, such as the monkey, tiger, horse, and others from the Chinese zodiac.
To color these pages, you’ll want to use a palette that reflects the appearance of these animals. For a more realistic approach, muted and natural tones will work best. If you prefer a cartoon or more child-friendly style, brighter and more saturated colors are suitable. This flexibility allows you to choose a style that matches your preference or the purpose of your project.
Further down in the collection, you’ll also find pages related to traditional festivities, including Chinese lanterns and scenes with people holding a Chinese dragon. These illustrations work well with dominant shades of red and yellow, which are closely associated with the Chinese New Year. For contrast, cooler tones like blue or cyan can be used in the background, or you may choose to leave the background white and add your own elements as you see fit.
At the end of this Chinese New Year coloring pages collection, I’ll share some tips for coloring each type of illustration. Whether you’re focusing on zodiac animals or scenes of celebration, these suggestions will help you finish your work with confidence and clarity.
