T-Rex Roaring in the Prehistoric Jungle Colouring Page

A powerful Tyrannosaurus rex stands in a prehistoric jungle and lifts its huge head in a mighty roar. Its open jaws show rows of large teeth, while strong hind legs, a long balancing tail and tiny two-fingered arms make the dinosaur easy to recognise. Ferns, cycads and a few tree trunks create a simple ancient habitat around the complete animal. How to colour: Use moss green over the head, back and tail, blend olive green down the sides and add a pale yellow-green belly. Colour the inside of the mouth deep pink, the tongue raspberry red and the teeth warm ivory, leaving a slim white highlight on each tooth. Make the eye golden amber with a black pupil and the claws dark charcoal. Use emerald, jade and lime green for the jungle leaves, warm brown for trunks and sandy beige for the ground. Apply short curved strokes to suggest scaly skin, shade beneath the jaw and belly with darker olive, and use lighter pressure along the top of the head and tail.
