Fun Facts & Tips
Did you know? Facial expressions are universal! Even babies can recognize basic emotions. Use #FFC0CB (light pink) to bring warmth to their cheeks and highlight happy expressions!
Our face has over 40 muscles that control our expressions! Experiment with #808080 (gray) and #A9A9A9 (dark gray) to shadow the wrinkles formed when they make funny faces, emphasizing the different muscle contractions.
Laughter is contagious and good for your health! Pro Tip: Practice 'color blending' to smoothly transition colors on their faces, mimicking the subtle changes in skin tones as they express different emotions. Try using watercolor pencils and a damp brush for a soft, blended effect.
✨ Pro Coloring Tips
- Layering for Depth: Start with light base colors and gradually build up darker shades to create depth and volume in the faces and hair. For example, use light peach (#FFDAC1) as a base skin tone and add shading with tan (#C68642) under the chin and around the eyes.
- Highlighting Expressions: Use white or a very light color pencil to add highlights to the eyes, noses, and cheeks, especially in areas where light would naturally catch. This will enhance the silly expressions and make them even more dynamic. A touch of white to the tip of the tongue sticking out will make it look wet and even more comical.
- Outlining and Linework: Use fine-tip markers (like Micron pens) in black or dark brown to refine the outlines of the faces and features after coloring. This can make the characters pop and give a more polished, cartoon-like appearance. Varying line thickness can also add interest; thicker lines around the overall shape and thinner lines for details.
- Blending Techniques: For smooth transitions between colors, use blending stumps or cotton swabs. For example, when shading the skin, blend the darker shade into the lighter base color for a natural gradient. Alternatively, try using colored pencils in a circular motion to blend colors directly on the page. Water-based markers can also be blended by layering them while still wet, or using a colorless blender marker.
