Coloring tips

• Shade the main color (#509734) with the shadow color (#1C2A14): color light first, then add the dark only in the deepest spots.
• Keep the background (#FBF7EE) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.
• Use the accent (#E25F8F) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
• These colors are far apart: blend each one with a lighter or darker marker from the same family instead of with each other.
• Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
