PARASAUROLOPHUS HERD #16

🦕 Parasaurolophus 🦖 Realistic 🕰️ Jurassic 🦕 Herbivore 🦕

A single dinosaur fills this coloring page: standing on all four legs, head turned toward the viewer, mouth open in a wide smile and one round eye looking straight out. Its crest curls back from the top of the skull and loops down toward the snout, where a small bump marks the nose ridge. The back and the slightly curled tail are lined with thin curved hatching. Palm trees, ferns, rocks and a winding puddle surround it, with a smoking volcano rising in the background. The thick, continuous outline around the body leaves large open areas that are easy to fill on the belly, legs and flanks. The hatching along the back and tail calls for more care, as do the detailed palm fronds and volcano smoke. This printable page suits younger children just starting out, while the background details give older kids something to work on for about twenty minutes. Coloring the dino's large body areas before tackling the back hatching helps keep lines steady and clean. The volcano and rocks in the background work well in muted tones, so the main character stays the focus. For printing, a standard letter or A4 sheet at 90gsm holds up well to markers.
