Brachiosaurus Drinking at the Lake

Brachiosaurus Drinking at the Lake is a rewarding learning topic. Coloring it almost automatically sparks a conversation about which dinosaurs were plant-eaters or predators, how big they grew, or why they went extinct. Color choices are entirely free, since science still doesn't know for sure what colors most species really had.

The brachiosaurus looks impressive with its long neck – use warm green tones or classic dinosaur gray for its body, while shading the neck with a color gradient from dark to light. The water should be created in different shades of blue to create depth: lighter at the surface, darker in the depths. The dinosaur's belly can be lighter than its back. Work with fine lines for water ripples around the mouth. The surrounding landscape like plants or stones get earthy brown and green tones to contrast with the lake.
