Coloring tips

  • Shade the main color (#E48015) with the shadow color (#1D1D1D): 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 (#509734) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
  • Blend the main color (#E48015) into the second color (#F4C54B) for a soft transition.
  • Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
