Coloring Tips
- Start with light chalk: apply a light green or blue base to the little dinosaur's body for easier control of shading later.
- Emphasize tail movement: color the tail following its raised curve, using a gradient from dark at the base to light at the tip for depth.
- Highlight chalk effects: color the chalk white or light yellow, leaving some rough edges to mimic real chalk texture.
- Ground shadows: lightly shade gray under the dinosaur's feet and body, ensuring consistent shadow direction.
- Focus on facial details: carefully outline the eyes and mouth with dark colors, keeping the focused expression, and add pink cheeks for cuteness.
