Ancient Dusk: Stegosaurus by the Still Waters

Fun Fact

Stegosaurus had a brain about the size of a walnut, despite being a huge dinosaur! They also had large bony plates along their back, called 'scutes' or 'plates', which might have been used for defense, display, or even to help regulate their body temperature.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Skin - Use different shades of green, brown, or even earthy blues to give the Stegosaurus's scaly skin a textured, realistic look. Don't be afraid to blend!
2. 2🖍️ Reflective Water - For the still water, use soft blues, greys, and purples to show the reflection of the sky and surrounding plants. A lighter touch will create a watery shimmer.
3. 3✨ Dusk Shadows - Emphasize the long shadows with darker, cooler tones like deep purples, dark blues, or charcoal grey. Remember, shadows aren't always black!
4. 4🌈 Prehistoric Flora - Get creative with the plants! Imagine vibrant, ancient foliage with unusual colors like deep reds, exotic greens, and even hints of orange to bring the prehistoric landscape to life.
