Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate scales and varied plant textures, allowing for precise layering. Markers work well for smooth, vibrant fills in larger areas like the river.
Start with light pressure on the large body areas. Use simple strokes to fill the river and plants. Outline the diplodocus first, then fill in. Take short breaks to maintain focus and prevent hand fatigue.
Layer greens and browns on the diplodocus for realistic skin depth. Use cross-hatching for texture on the scales. Create transparent water effects by layering light blues/greens over riverbed elements. Experiment with atmospheric perspective for distant mountains.
