Coloring Tips

  • For the pumpkin costume, start with an orange base, then lightly layer dark orange or brown in the recessed areas to enhance the three-dimensional effect.
  • The little dinosaur's body can be painted in bright green, with light green highlights on the belly to add cuteness.
  • The pumpkin costume's texture can be left white or outlined in light yellow first, then edged with a darker color for definition.
  • The claws can be painted in pale yellow or beige to create a warm and harmonious tone with the pumpkin costume.
  • Use a light purple or light blue background to make the orange pumpkin costume stand out more vividly.
