How much detail?

Small fern leaves, brush bristles, rock cracks and spiral sections create finer spaces around the broad footprint. About the labels.

Try this palette: Discovery workbench

Pale sandStone brownFern greenTool blue

Use pale sandy colors for the tray and rocks, then add one darker brown around the footprint outline to make its shape stand out.

A small coloring tip

A pointed pencil reaches the fern leaflets, brush bristles and spiral sections; keep the large sand area lightly colored.

Imagine a label for the discovery, then write your invented name on the back of the printed page.
