Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Skin Texture - Use a variety of green, brown, and earthy tones with small, overlapping strokes to create a realistic, scaly skin appearance for the Parasaurolophus.
2. 2🖍️ Crest Detail - Highlight the unique crest with a contrasting color like a warm yellow or reddish-brown, perhaps adding subtle shadows to make it stand out.
3. 3✨ Water Effects - For the clear watering hole, use light blues, greens, and even hints of white for reflections, making it look calm and inviting.
4. 4🌈 Ancient Flora - Experiment with different shades of green for the horsetails and cattails, adding depth and realism to the prehistoric plant life around the dinosaur.
