Baby Stegosaurus's Forest Discovery

Fun Fact

Stegosaurus means "roof lizard" because of the large bony plates on its back! Scientists aren't entirely sure what these plates were for, but they might have helped it control its body temperature or even looked scary to other dinosaurs!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Textured Scales - Use various shades of green, brown, or even muted blues and grays for the Stegosaurus's scales. Try short, overlapping strokes to emphasize the bumpy texture.
2. 2🖍️ Lush Ferns - Experiment with many shades of green, from dark forest green to bright lime, to create depth and realism in the dense fern forest. Add tiny hints of yellow or brown for older leaves.
3. 3✨ Butterfly Wings - The butterfly is intricately drawn! Use vibrant colors like sapphire blues, emerald greens, and ruby reds for its wings. Pay close attention to the patterns and use fine tips for delicate details.
4. 4🌈 Ancient Light - Think about where the sun might be peeking through the canopy. Use lighter colors and subtle highlights on the edges of leaves and the Stegosaurus's back to show natural light and make your scene glow.
