Coloring tips

Shade the main color (#AD2633) with the shadow color (#092B21): color light first, then add the dark only in the deepest spots.
Keep the background (#FBF5EA) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.
Use the accent (#CE9C1D) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
Blend the main color (#AD2633) into the detail color (#A95B0D) for a soft transition.
Blend the shadow color (#092B21) into the second color (#056241) for a soft transition.
Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
