Coloring Tips
- Start with large areas: It's recommended to paint the bodies of the little dinosaur and rabbit first, then handle details like the chessboard and pieces to avoid smudging the artwork.
- Use contrasting colors: Consider using vibrant contrasts for the little dinosaur and rabbit (e.g., green dinosaur with white rabbit) to highlight the two main characters.
- Chessboard coloring technique: Paint the chessboard squares with light brown or gray, keeping the lines neat. Use a fine-tipped marker to outline before filling in.
- Emphasize focused expressions: Gently darken the areas around the eyes of the dinosaur and rabbit with a dark pen to show their concentration on the game.
- Background treatment: Lightly paint the background with pale blue or yellow to make the subjects stand out, being careful not to color outside the character outlines.
