In the foreground, several baby dinosaurs are playing near the edge of the water. Their small bodies and curious expressions show how much they enjoy their natural habitat. Nearby, the adult Parasaurolophus lean down toward the river to take a refreshing drink. You will notice the tall reeds growing along the shoreline and smooth rocks scattered across the ground. In the background, simple hills rise up toward a sky filled with soft clouds. Every element from the rippling water to the textured crests of the dinosaurs offers a new area to color and explore.

For the Parasaurolophus skin, you might choose earthy greens and browns to help them blend into the landscape. However, since this is a cartoon style, bright oranges or purples on their large head crests can make them look very striking. Using a light blue or shimmering turquoise for the water will create a nice contrast against the green reeds. You can use a darker grey or tan for the rocks to give them a solid feel. If you have colored pencils, try blending two different shades of green on the hills to show depth and distance.
