Coloring Tips
- Start with large areas: Paint the dinosaur's body first in bright green or blue, then the cake's frosting.
- Use gradients: Darken the dinosaur's back and lighten its belly for a 3D effect.
- Highlight details: Use vibrant colors for candle flames and cake decorations to contrast.
- Control pressure: Lightly paint the cake frosting for fluffiness, and press harder for dinosaur outlines.
- Leave highlights: Keep small white highlights on the frosting and candles for shine.
