GROUNDED QUETZALCOATLUS #5

🦅 Quetzalcoatlus 🦖 Realistic 🕰️ Cretaceous 🦅 Flying 🦅

A long-necked dino stands upright on its two hind legs, head turned toward the viewer, a grin and a round eye. Its short clawed arms stay tucked against its chest. It stands in a clearing framed by palm trees - a tall double-trunked palm on the left, two more on the right - while a volcano puffs a cloud of smoke between the hills behind it. On the ground, bushy ferns, round boulders and a tuft of grass fill out the scene, with scattered pebbles and puddles in the sand. The outline stays bold and clean around the dino, the volcano and the palm trees, which makes this coloring page approachable from a young age. The neck, back and tail carry a light dotted texture to shade in, while the belly, the palm fronds and the volcano cone leave large open areas to fill with broad color. Expect about half an hour for simple, flat coloring, longer for anyone shading every frond. Starting with the dino before the palm trees keeps the hand steady for the small details on its face. This printable coloring page works best on thick paper, A4 size, at least 200 gsm, so markers won't bleed through.
