THERIZINOSAURUS COLORING PAGE #4

🦕 Therizinosaurus 🎨 Cartoon 🕰️ late_cretaceous 🦕 Herbivore 🦕

The Therizinosaurus stands upright on its back legs, its body covered in ovals from neck to tail. Its small round head wears a gentle smile, with one clear round eye. One front leg reaches forward, showing three long curved claws. The tail trails off to the left, surrounded by ferns, rounded rocks and palm trees of different heights. In the background, a volcano sends up a thick cloud of smoke. This printable coloring page stands out for the many ovals covering the dino's body, each one a small area to fill in, so alternating two shades can bring the pattern to life. The palm fronds, the rocks and the volcano's smoke, by contrast, offer large surfaces that color in quickly. The three thin, curved claws call for a fine-tipped pencil and a steady hand. The overall coloring time runs fairly long because of the spots, though a less confident colorist can stick to the wide background areas. Start with the big background surfaces, the palm trees and the volcano's smoke, before tackling the ovals one by one with two alternating colors. Save the claws for last, with a fine marker, to keep their edges crisp. For this detail-heavy coloring page, print on A4 or letter paper of at least 160gsm (about 90lb) so it holds up under repeated pencil layers.
