Coloring tips

• Shade the main color (#D7B0A5) with the shadow color (#6F5F5A): color light first, then add the dark only in the deepest spots.
• Keep the background (#F2E6CF) for the lightest parts and highlights, or leave the paper white there.
• Use the accent (#DCC79E) sparingly, on small spots that should catch the eye.
• Blend the main color (#D7B0A5) into the second color (#B2BFB8) for a soft transition.
• Blend while the ink is still wet, from dark to light, with small circles or short strokes.
