Coloring Tips
- Start with light green for the dinosaur's body, then add dark green shadows on the back and tail for depth.
- For the fireflies, use yellow as the base, blending orange at the edges for a warm glow.
- Leave the dinosaur's eyes white or paint them bright white, then add black pupils for expression.
- Use a dark blue gradient for the background, fading lighter downward to mimic the night sky.
- Paint the dinosaur's belly light yellow or beige for a cute contrast.
