Colors to Use for Dinosaurs

Greens, browns, and grays work well for a realistic dinosaur scene. For pops of color, try reds, blues, and yellows.

Make your dinosaurs wildly vibrant! Creativity is your guide here, whatever you feel the right color is for a dinosaur, use that.

Dinosaurs Coloring Tips

A. Layering Colors: For the dinosaur’s skin, start with a green base coat. Layer darker greens, browns, and blacks to add shading and dimension.

B. Illustrating Specific Elements: Color bony plates and horns in grays and browns. Use lighter tones on top areas for highlights.

Invite Creativity Challenge: Jurassic Textures

Color your dinosaur scene using coarse, scaly textures across the skin and rough, earthy textures for the environment.

This naturalistic approach develops skills in creating visual depth through varied stroke techniques and tones within a limited palette. It encourages experimentation with texture.
