Pterosaur Flying Through the Sky

Pterosaur Flying Through the Sky 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 pterosaur looks most impressive with gray tones for the body and warm brown or terracotta tones for the leathery wing membranes. Use varying pressure to create depth between rock textures—darker grays for shaded mountain sides, lighter tones for illuminated edges. Trace the fine lines of the wing membrane with thinner colored pencils to emphasize the structure. A vibrant sky blue behind it makes the flying dinosaur truly soar.
