Coloring tips

  • Shade the main color (#F28C28) with the shadow color (#2B2B2B): color light first, then add the dark only in the deepest spots.
  • Keep the background (#FFF8EE) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.
  • Use the accent (#6E9E5E) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
  • Blend the main color (#F28C28) into the second color (#F5D58A) for a soft transition.
  • Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
