What's In This Picture
At the center of the page, the Spinosaurus stands proudly with its iconic sail and a small fish clamped in its jaws. You will notice the detailed water ripples swirling around its thick legs, showing the movement of the river. In the background, a tall palm tree and several leafy ferns grow along the rocky banks. High above the dinosaur's head, three delicate dragonflies flutter through the air. There are also many rocks and smaller plants scattered throughout the scene, giving you plenty of small details to fill in with your favorite shades.
Coloring Tips
The large sail on the back of the Spinosaurus is a great place to use bright, bold colors or even interesting patterns like stripes or spots. For the river, you might try blending different shades of blue and teal to show the depth of the water. The ferns and palm tree look best in various greens, while the rocks can be gray or earthy brown. Since this is a cartoon style, do not be afraid to use vibrant colors for the dragonflies to make them stand out against the prehistoric sky. Adding a little light blue around the water ripples will help the dinosaur look like it is really standing in a flowing stream.
Did You Know?
Did you know that the Spinosaurus was actually longer and heavier than the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex? It is the only dinosaur we know of that spent most of its time living and hunting in the water. Its long snout and sharp teeth were perfectly shaped for catching slippery fish, making it the ultimate prehistoric fisherman.
Try This!
After finishing the coloring, try to find and count all the dragonflies hidden in the sky. You can also draw more fish swimming under the water ripples to give the dinosaur even more food to find. Maybe you can even give the Spinosaurus a name and write a short story about its day at the river.
