Coloring Tips

  • Start with large areas: Color the dinosaur's entire body first, then handle details like the sword, shield, and expression to avoid smudging.
  • Gradient effect: Try a dark-to-light green gradient on the dinosaur's back, pressing harder at the top for depth.
  • Highlight expressions: Outline the smiling mouth with a dark pen, leaving small white teeth uncolored for a lively look.
  • Small prop coloring: Paint the sword metallic silver and outline the shield's edges in dark, leaving the center blank or adding simple patterns.
  • Simple background: Lightly color the sky in light blue and add green grass at the bottom to highlight the dinosaur.
