Cozy Parasaurolophus at the Watering Hole

Fun Fact

The Parasaurolophus had a hollow, tube-like crest on its head! Scientists believe this crest was used to make loud, trumpeting sounds to communicate with other dinosaurs, or perhaps to help them find their way in ancient forests.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Skin Texture - Use varying shades of greens, browns, or even muted blues to give the Parasaurolophus's skin a realistic, textured look. Try light strokes for scales!
2. 2🖍️ Crest Colors - Make the distinctive crest stand out! Consider a contrasting color or a slightly brighter shade than the body to emphasize its unique shape and purpose.
3. 3✨ Water Reflections - For the clear prehistoric watering hole, use light blues and greens, adding hints of white or very light yellow to suggest reflections from the sky or surrounding plants.
4. 4🌈 Ancient Flora - Bring the finely drawn horsetails and cattails to life with many shades of green. Use darker greens for leaves in shadow and lighter greens for those catching the light, adding depth to the scene.
