Coloring Tips
- Start with large areas**: First color the little dinosaur's body and tail to easily control the overall tone and avoid hand fatigue.
- Use gradients for depth**: Apply dark green shadows on the dinosaur's back and light green on the belly to create layers.
- Highlight dynamic details**: Use bright colors like red or yellow for the jump rope to contrast with the dinosaur and make the scene livelier.
- Lightly color edges**: When coloring small claws or the rope handle, use the tip of the brush to avoid going outside the lines.
- Add highlights**: Finally, use white or light yellow to dot the dinosaur's eyes and the rope's reflective areas for a lively touch.
