DEINONYCHUS COLORING PAGE #2

🦖 Deinonychus 🎨 Cartoon 🕰️ early_cretaceous 🦖 Carnivore 🦖

This dino stands upright on two legs, head turned to the side, with a big round eye and a gentle smile that make it look friendly rather than fierce. Small clawed arms sit tucked in front of its chest, a row of tiny bumps runs along its back to the tip of the tail, and dark oval bands mark the tail and thighs. Behind it, a volcano puffs a cloud of smoke among several palm trees, while ferns, tufts of grass and a few rounded pebbles fill the foreground. The outline is thick and unbroken around the body, leaving wide, open areas to fill in: the belly, the back, the palm fronds. Only the banded tail and legs, plus the small dorsal bumps, call for finer work. This coloring page suits younger children well, from about four years old, and takes roughly twenty minutes to complete. Because the tail bands are thin and repeated, color them first with a fine marker before filling the larger shapes with crayons or pencils, so the lines don't disappear under broad strokes. For this dino and its smoking volcano, print the page on A4 or letter paper at 120 gsm, a printable weight that keeps felt-tip pens from bleeding through.
