Coloring Tips

  • Begin with large areas: Color the dinosaur and gift box first, then add details like eyes and ribbons to minimize mistakes.
  • Use gradients for depth: Apply light shades on the belly and box sides, darkening the edges for roundness.
  • Highlight the tail’s motion: Follow its curve with color, adding short lines at the tip for texture.
  • Festive touches: Accent the gift bow and patterns with gold or silver.
  • Ground shadows: Lightly shade gray under the dinosaur’s feet for a three-dimensional effect.
