Coloring Tips
- Start with large areas: First color the little dinosaur's body before handling details like spikes and claws to avoid smudging the artwork.
- Spike gradient technique: Use dark colors at the base of the spikes, gradually lightening toward the tips to create a three-dimensional effect.
- Tail dynamics: Add shadows to the inner side of the raised tail to emphasize its depth and movement.
- Blush trick: Lightly dab pink on the dinosaur's cheeks to make it look cuter.
- Background choice: A light blue or green background will highlight the dinosaur without overpowering it.
