This mini excavator design offers a perfect canvas for exploring textures and metallic finishes. Let your creativity flow and enjoy the process of bringing this powerful machine to life!
Colored pencils are ideal for the intricate details of the excavator's mechanics and for adding texture to the soil. Markers can be used for smooth, vibrant coverage on larger sections of the machine. Gel pens are excellent for adding shiny highlights to metal parts.
Start by coloring the largest sections of the excavator, such as the main body and cabin, using light, even pressure. Choose a simple palette of 3-4 primary colors. Work from the top of the page downwards to avoid smudging your work as you go.
Utilize cross-hatching to create realistic metal textures on the excavator's body and bucket. Employ directional shading to emphasize the movement of the articulated arm. Use subtle gradients for depth on the cabin glass and add specks of 'dirt' texture to the tracks and soil pile.
