✨ Pro Coloring Tips
- Layer Colors for Depth: Begin with lighter shades as a base, gradually adding darker tones to areas you want to recede or appear shadowed. For instance, on round beads, apply lighter shades to the 'highlights' and darker around the edges to emphasize their shape. This technique gives a realistic rounded effect to the beads.
- Use Fine Liners for Detail Enhancement: After base coloring, use fine-tip pens or markers (like 0.3mm or finer) to carefully trace over the existing black outlines within the beads. This will make the intricate patterns pop and add definition, especially to the smaller details and delicate lines within the designs.
- Experiment with Blending: For a smoother, professional finish, blend your colors. If using colored pencils, try blending stumps or cotton swabs to soften the transitions between colors. For markers, work quickly and use blending markers if available. This technique will create beautiful gradients and a polished look to your colored beads.
