Fun Facts & Tips

✨ Pro Coloring Tips

• Start with light base colors and gradually add darker shades for shadows and depth. This technique, known as layering, builds dimension and prevents colors from looking flat.
• Use blending techniques like layering or stippling to create texture in the puppy's fur. Stippling involves making small dots to create shading and texture, while layering is smoothly applying colors on top of each other.
• Experiment with different line weights by varying pressure to emphasize outlines and details like the puppy's playful expression. Thicker lines can define the puppy's form, while thinner lines are great for delicate fur details.
• Tool recommendation: Prismacolor pencils for smooth gradients and fine detail, or gel pens for bold outlines and accents. Colored pencils offer control and blendability, while markers provide vibrant, saturated color. Consider blending stumps to smooth out pencil strokes.
• To make the puppy’s fur look soft, use short, feathery strokes going in the direction of fur growth. For the ball, consider using smooth, even strokes, perhaps in circular motions, to give it a round, inflated appearance. Don't be afraid to mix colors and create your own unique puppy and ball combination! Adding highlights with a white gel pen after your base colors are down can also make certain areas pop, like the puppy's eyes or the ball highlights.
