Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate details on the uniforms and instruments. Fine-tip markers can provide vibrant, even coverage for larger areas like the banner and building. Gel pens can add sparkle to the stars or buttons.
Start with the larger uniform areas using light pressure. Use a simple patriotic palette of red, white, and blue. Color the background bushes with a single shade of green. Focus on staying within the lines for clean results.
Create depth in the uniforms using shading and highlights with multiple tones of a single color. Use cross-hatching or stippling for texture on the bushes and ground. Blend colors smoothly on the flag and banner for a realistic effect. Experiment with metallic pens for instrument details.
