Rainbow Scarab Beetle Colouring

This rainbow scarab has a rounded shell, sturdy legs and a little curved horn. A leaf and pebble create a quiet ground scene with plenty of open colouring space. Try emerald green, copper orange, blue and violet across the shell and thorax. Colour the horn dark brown, make the dry leaf golden and give the pebble a pale grey shade. Blend neighbouring colours with light pressure to suggest a rainbow shine. Leave a small white highlight and follow the shell's broad grooves with strokes that curve around its shape. Choose your own colours too, and enjoy bringing this little insect scene to life!
