Start by coloring the largest areas of clothing first. Use a consistent light source for simple shading. Focus on one child at a time to manage the details. Keep your color choices simple, perhaps using 2-3 shades per clothing item.
Research historical fashion colors for each era to achieve authenticity. Use layering and blending techniques to create realistic fabric textures and folds in the clothing. Experiment with cross-hatching for subtle shading and depth, especially on the faces and hair.
