Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Textured Scales - Use short, overlapping strokes in various shades of green, brown, or even a touch of orange to give the Stegosaurus's scales a realistic, bumpy feel.
2. 2🖍️ Lush Fern Forest - Employ an array of green hues, from light lime to deep forest green, for the different layers of ferns and prehistoric plants. Add darker tones for shadows to create depth!
3. 3✨ Intricate Butterfly - Choose vibrant, contrasting colors for the butterfly's wings, perhaps with metallic or glitter pens for a magical touch. Pay close attention to the delicate wing patterns!
4. 4🌈 Giant Leaf Details - For the large leaf, use a base color like emerald green, then meticulously add darker veins and lighter highlights to create a sense of realism and texture.
