Pro Tips for Better Coloring

Layer Your Colors

Start with light colors and build up to darker shades. This gives you more control and creates richer, more dimensional results.

Mix Your Media

Do not be afraid to combine colored pencils with gel pens or markers. Different tools create different effects that make your pages pop.

Use Good Paper

Print on heavyweight paper for the best results. Thin printer paper can buckle with markers and does not show pencil colors as vibrantly.

Take Breaks

Complex pages are meant to be savored. Take breaks, come back with fresh eyes, and enjoy the process as much as the result.
