Colors

  • background: #FDF8EE
  • main: #E25B5B
  • shadow: #4A4040

Coloring tips

  • Shade the main color (#E25B5B) with the shadow color (#4A4040): color light first, then add the dark only in the deepest spots.
  • Keep the background (#FDF8EE) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.
  • 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.
