Coloring tips

  • Shade the main color (#5F7D5A) with the shadow color (#2D2A24): color light first, then add the dark only in the deepest spots.
  • Keep the background (#F3EFE6) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.
  • Use the accent (#E1C79B) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
  • Blend the main color (#5F7D5A) into the detail color (#7A8C99) for a soft transition.
  • Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
