DETAILED STEGOSAURUS #39

🦕 Stegosaurus 🦖 Realistic 🕰️ Triassic 🦕 Herbivore 🦕

This stegosaurus stands in profile with a friendly smile, surrounded by ferns and broad leaves, flanked by two coconut palms. Behind it, a volcano sends up a thick cloud of smoke that fills the background. Two rows of rounded plates run along its back, the tail ends in several pointed spikes, and large oval spots cover its body. A scattering of rocks sits on the ground around its feet. This coloring page stands out for its bold outline and generously sized shapes: the body spots, the back plates, and the wide fern leaves all give plenty of room to fill in. It's a printable well suited to younger children, with no tiny details to fight, and it can be finished in one short sitting. The tail spikes and the palm fronds need a touch more care to stay inside the thinner lines. To make this dino pop, try alternating two shades across the oval spots instead of repeating one color, which keeps such a large body from looking flat. Leaving the volcano's smoke pale will help it stand out against a darker ground. For best results, print this page on A4 paper at 200gsm or heavier, so it holds up well under markers without bleeding through.
