Tips for Coloring Your Horse Pages
Want to take your coloring to the next level? Here are my favorite techniques:
Choose Your Medium Wisely: Colored pencils offer precision and blending capabilities. Markers provide bold, vibrant colors. Crayons work great for kids and create a nostalgic feel.
Start with Light Colors: Build up gradually to darker shades. This gives you more control and prevents mistakes.
Add Shading: Make your horses three-dimensional by adding darker tones in shadowed areas—under the belly, behind the legs, and along the neck.
Experiment with Color Palettes: Real horses come in bay, chestnut, black, gray, and palomino. But who says you have to stick with reality? Try sunset colors, ocean blues, or even galaxy patterns.
Blend, Blend, Blend: For realistic looks, blend similar colors together where they meet. This creates smooth transitions and professional-looking results.
