Looking at this page, you will find a pair of friendly pterodactyls tending to their nest. Inside the nest, several large eggs are tucked safely among the twigs and branches. The nest sits on a sturdy rock cliff that overlooks a valley filled with prehistoric trees and leafy plants. In the distance, a tall volcano is erupting, sending a gentle plume of smoke toward the smiling sun and fluffy clouds. Jagged mountains line the horizon, completing this ancient mountain range. Every element, from the tiny rocks on the cliff to the large wings of the parents, is waiting for some color.

For the pterodactyls, you might use earthy greens, browns, or even vibrant purples to make them stand out. The erupting volcano looks exciting with bright oranges and reds for the flowing lava. You can use different shades of gray and brown for the rocky cliff and mountains to give them texture. The sky offers a great chance to use a warm yellow for the sun and a soft blue for the clouds. Since there are many small details like the plants and eggs, using sharpened colored pencils or fine-tip markers works best for staying inside the lines.
