BABY PTERANODON #37

🦅 Pteranodon 🦖 Realistic 🕰️ Triassic 🦅 Flying 🦅

A baby pteranodon with round eyes and a pointed head crest sits inside a huge nest, woven from crossing strands. Beside it lies one whole speckled egg, touching a cracked shell it has clearly just climbed out of. The nest rests on rounded pebbles, ringed by curling ferns, broad leaves and two coconut palms. In the background, hills lead up to a volcano releasing a plume of smoke. The head, body and belly of the baby pteranodon form large, smooth shapes, easy to color even for a beginner's hand. The nest, by contrast, calls for patience: every woven strand needs to be traced for the pattern to stay readable, which makes this printable coloring page better suited to an older child or an adult who enjoys detailed pages. Budget close to an hour to finish the ferns, the pebbles and the weave. To keep the nest from reading as one flat patch, alternate two or three close shades from strand to strand: the woven texture stands out far better than under a single flat tone. Print this coloring page on heavy paper, at least 200 gsm, A4 size, which holds up to repeated pencil layers without warping.
