Tools You Can Use
You can choose from crayons, colored pencils, or markers.
- Crayons give colorful, solid areas and are easy to hold.
- Colored pencils are great for detail and shading.
- Markers make bright, bold colors but need careful coloring inside the lines.
Try different tools and see which one you like best!
Basic Coloring Techniques
- Even Color Filling: Try to color in the same direction with light pressure first. Then add more layers for deeper color so your picture looks smooth and bright.
- Color Gradients: To make Bluey’s blue fur more interesting, start with a light blue base, then add darker blue near the edges or shadows to show depth.
- Stay Inside Lines: Take your time and use small, short strokes to color near the outline carefully.
Color Pairing Tips
- Bluey’s Colors: Use bright blue (HEX #0073CF) for most of her body. Use lighter blue (HEX #7EC8E3) on her face and belly to add contrast.
- Bingo’s Colors: Choose warm orange (HEX #E97451) for her body with soft cream (HEX #F5E1C7) on her face and belly.
- Try to match colors that look nice together — like cool blues with warm oranges. It makes the picture lively!
Detailed Part-by-Part Tips
- Bluey’s Body & Face: Color evenly with bright blue. Use light blue for round areas like cheeks or belly to make her look soft.
- Tip: Press softer on curves to keep them smooth.
- Bingo’s Fur: Use orange similarly, layering cream colors softly on round parts to create highlights.
- Helmets: Pick bright colors like yellow (HEX #FFD500) or pink (HEX #FF69B4). Add a little white space or lightly color a line to show shine.
- Scooters: Choose bold colors like red (HEX #FF0000), green (HEX #00A651), or purple (HEX #800080). Add shading by coloring one side darker to show shadow.
- Tip: Use your finger or a cotton swab to gently smudge pencil colors for smooth shadow effects.
