Coloring Tips
- Start with large areas: Begin by coloring the dinosaur's green body and the green branches of the Christmas tree to establish the overall color palette.
- Use contrasting colors: Choose red, gold, or blue for the ornaments to make them pop against the green.
- Detail work: Alternate between different shades of green for the Christmas tree leaves to add depth.
- Highlight technique: Leave small white highlights on the ornaments to create a reflective effect.
- Focus on expressions: Carefully outline the dinosaur's eyes and smile with dark colors, as this is the focal point of the artwork.
