UTAHRAPTOR COLORING PAGE

🦖 Utahraptor 🎨 Cartoon 🕰️ early_cretaceous 🦖 Carnivore 🦖

This Utahraptor's jaws are open, small teeth showing, as it leaps forward on a single leg, the other drawn up with a curved claw. Its body carries fine tiger-like stripes, feathers cover the folded forearm, and a small tuft sits on its head. Behind it a volcano sends up a plume of smoke under one big round cloud, palm trees stand on both sides, boulders and ferns dot the ground, and a puddle at the bottom mirrors the whole scene. As a coloring page, it mixes scales: the body gives large, easy sections to fill in, while the stripes, the feathered arm and the volcano's smoke ask for a finer, steadier hand. It suits someone ready to move past plain outlines, but also holds enough small work to keep a more careful colorist busy. Because the volcano and the jungle sit side by side, try keeping warm tones for the eruption and cooler ones for the palms and ferns so the two halves of the background don't blend into each other. The striped back reads well with two alternating shades to follow the curve of the leap. Print this dino coloring page on A4 at 200gsm or more so felt-tip pens won't bleed through.
