Coloring Tips
- Start with a light base: Apply light colors to the dinosaur and robot's main parts for easier shadow control later.
- Highlight metallic textures: Use gray and silver for the robot, leaving some areas unpainted for shine.
- Gradient coloring: Try a dark-to-light green gradient on the dinosaur's skin for a dynamic effect.
- Popcorn details: Use light yellow for the popcorn, then lightly dot brown for crispy parts.
- Background: Lightly shade with pale blue or pink to make the foreground subjects pop.
