ICHTHYOSAURUS COLORING PAGE

🌊 Ichthyosaurus 🦖 Realistic 🕰️ early_jurassic 🦕 Herbivore 🦕

A round-bodied dino leaps out of the water, back arched, dorsal fin raised, and its long snout tipped up in a soft smile. A big round eye and small circles scattered over its head and back suggest a spotted hide. Beneath it, splashing water curls into waves. In the background two volcanoes smoke on either side, framed by palm trees, while ferns and small rocks line the pool on both sides in front. The outline is thick and even, leaving large areas that are easy to fill: the dino's body, the splash, and the volcano smoke. The ferns, palm fronds, and the small circles on its back call for a steadier hand. This coloring page suits young children on the big shapes, and older ones who want to work through the foliage. Expect around twenty minutes for the whole scene. Since the scene is built almost as a mirror image, keep both volcanoes in the same shade and save a cool color for the water under the dino, so the splash stands apart from the ground. A fine-tip marker helps avoid spilling over the small circles on its back. Before you print this printable coloring sheet, an A4 page in 200gsm paper handles markers well without bleeding through.
