1. Maleficent And Aurora Facing Each Other Coloring PDF
Aurora is the protagonist of the Sleeping Beauty story, and her relationship with Maleficent is a complicated one indeed. In the original Sleeping Fairy tale from the 1600s, Aurora was originally named Talia, and Maleficent was only known as a wicked fairy.
2. Maleficent and Diaval In Raven form
Maleficent got her time in the spotlight with the 2014 live-action film named after her. She was portrayed by Angelina Jolie and joined by a character named Diaval. He started out as a raven, and Maleficent transformed him into a human boy to be her helper.
3. Maleficent As A Dragon Breathing Fire
Maleficent has the ability to transform into a terrifying dragon, and even as a kid, I loved the design. Her color scheme is black and purple when in this form, and she breathes green flames.
4. Maleficent At The Christening Of Baby Aurora
The christening of baby Aurora was a huge event, not just because she was the new princess but because Maleficent felt scorned by not being invited and placed a curse on the baby, setting the story in motion.
5. Maleficent Casting Green Magic From Her Staff
It’s not difficult to determine what Maleficent’s favorite color must be! She is famous for using green magic, and coloring the magic with bright colored pens would make the color pop.
6. Maleficent With Aurora
Maleficent is one of those characters that you know is evil, but you can’t help loving. Even though Maleficent is performing evil magic on Aurora, she keeps her poise and dignity in this scene.
7. Maleficent Creating A Magical Barrier
Maleficent is a powerful sorceress, and just her voice is enough to send chills down your spine. She was voiced by Eleanor Audley, who had also voiced Lady Tremaine in Cinderella.
8. Dragon Maleficent Flying Above The Forest
The dragon form of Maleficent is not only terrifying but was also very difficult to animate. When animating the dragon, the filmmakers used the movements of a rattlesnake as inspiration for the head movements of the dragon.
9. Maleficent Flying Through Storm Clouds
The live-action version of Maleficent provided a more nuanced take on the character that was not completely evil. That being said, when Angelina Jolie was on the set in her full costume, many of the child actors acting alongside her were genuinely terrified of her.
10. Maleficent Holding Her Magical Staff
Say what you want about Maleficent, but she is such an intense and cool-looking character. She looks incredible in this scene, but she will look even better once you have added some menacing colors.
11. Maleficent In Her Throne Room
Every villain needs to have a throne; it’s some kind of rule! Maleficent has a magnificent throne room, and her throne is surrounded by appropriate green flames.
12. Maleficent With Her Wings Spread
While she may seem more witch-like, Maleficent is actually technically a fairy. Unlike many other fairies who have dainty wings, Maleficent has bat-like dragon wings.
13. Maleficent Placing The Sleeping Curse
Sleeping Beauty didn’t become that way because she liked to nap! It was a curse placed on her by the wicked Maleficent. There are some sparkly effects around her hand, and using a sprinkling of green glitter would make them look even more effective.
14. Maleficent In The Moors
Maleficent and Diaval are strolling through the moors, and it would be quite a sight to encounter them if you were also going for a walk! Before, I told you that the original version of Maleficent had no name. Her name in the Disney film comes from the Latin word maleficentia, which means ‘doing evil or harm.’
15. Maleficent In The Mountains Coloring Sheet
Maleficent always stands out, even when she’s in a simple mountain setting. When designing the character, her animator, Marc Davis, used old medieval pictures as inspiration and also based some aspects of her look on bat wings and devil horns.
16. Maleficent Surrounded By Dark Magic
Magic often looks wondrous and spellbinding, but something about the green color of Maleficent’s magic makes it look sinister and evil. While you can use any colors you like for her magic, I think that using green would really make it look effective.
17. Maleficent Surrounded By Green Flames
Disney villains are often paired with a flame or fire motif, and Maleficent is no different. Those flames would normally be red and hot, but Maleficent is surrounded by green flames a lot of the time.
18. Maleficent Talking To Aurora
Sometimes, a villain’s true power isn’t just about the magic skills they have but also in their powers of manipulation. Maleficent is often able to get inside Aurora’s mind to manipulate and control her, and this is one of the biggest threats Aurora needs to overcome.
19. Maleficent Transforming Into A Dragon
Maleficent’s transformation into a dragon is a feat of animation that I never get tired of seeing.
20. Maleficent Watching Aurora Sleep
The visual of Sleeping Beauty is one of the most iconic in Disney history. Having Maleficent watching over her makes it a lot more sinister, though.
21. Maleficent With Diaval’s Human Form
We’ve seen Diaval in his raven form a few times, but now you can see him as he appeared in the Maleficent film in his human form. The development of the Maleficent film was long, and it was originally conceived as an animated film. At one point, Tim Burton was going to direct it, but this didn’t come to be.
22. Maleficent With Glowing Green Eyes
Glowing eyes look scary at the best of times, but when they glow green, they look even scarier.
23. Maleficent With Her Flowing Cloak
The flowing cloak that Maleficent wears gives her a regal look, even though she’s not actually a queen!
24. Maleficent With Damaged Wings
While still technically a villain, the Maleficent films gave us a more sympathetic look at the character, and Angelina Jolie worked hard to give the character a lot of depth.
25. Young Maleficent With Wings Coloring Page
The Maleficent films gave us a look at Maleficent in her younger days, and this design was intentionally more angelic than her later, more sinister designs.After You Color Your Maleficent Pages
