🎨 How to color it

Layer moss green and warm olive across the diplodocus’s wrinkled neck, use deep jade for the pointed foreground plants, and color the hanging seed pods burnt sienna. Because the neck folds and leaf veins are tightly lined, build color with sharp pencils in the grooves first, then glaze lightly over the larger skin areas. Try a sunlit gradient on the branch leaves, shifting from yellow-green at the tips to forest green near the stems.

At first light, Aster carried a dry little seed pod between his teeth, racing under fern shadows while it clicked like rain on stone. He had found it after the night winds, and every click seemed to say, higher, farther, hurry. Vines brushed his neck; warm leaf-smell rose as he reached the canopy overlook and lifted the pod toward the sun. Then the pod answered—not with seeds, but with the voices of beetles inside, drumming a bright welcome. Aster laughed so loudly the whole ridge rattled along, higher, farther, hurry.
