Coloring Tips
- Start with a light base: Use light green or blue to cover the dinosaur's body, making it easier to layer darker shadows later.
- Emphasize depth: Gently darken the dinosaur's back, underside of the tail, and inner claws with a darker pencil to create a three-dimensional effect.
- Blanket texture: Use short strokes following the folds of the blanket, lightly sketching creases with a pencil as a guide first.
- Leave highlights: Preserve white spaces for the dinosaur's eyes and blanket highlights to add vibrancy.
- Tail movement: Use a gradient for the raised tail, gradually lightening the color from base to tip.
Fun Facts
- Did you know? Dinosaurs actually had feathers! Scientists have found that many small dinosaurs, like Archaeopteryx, were covered in feathers for warmth.
- Dinosaur tails were super useful! They used them for balance, like tightrope walkers—that’s how this little dinosaur can lift its tail while folding blankets!
- Baby dinosaurs were as small as puppies when born. Some dinosaur moms, like bird moms, cared for their babies and taught them survival skills.
- Folding blankets requires nimble fingers, but most dinosaurs had only three fingers on their forelimbs—T. rex even had just two!
- Scientists believe some dinosaurs may have been warm-blooded, like us humans, so they might have needed blankets to stay warm too!
