Colored pencils are ideal for the intricate details of the hair, facial features, and cloth patterns, allowing for precise layering and blending. Fine-tip markers can be used for crisp outlines and adding small, distinct patterns to the fabric. Soft pastels or watercolor pencils can create smooth, expansive washes for the desolate background.
Start by coloring the largest areas of the background first, using light, even pressure. Focus on one figure at a time, outlining before filling. Use simple shading for the wrapped cloth by applying slightly more pressure along folds.
Create realistic skin tones by layering 3-4 shades, building from light to dark. Use stippling or short, curved strokes to add texture to the Afros and kinky hair. Employ atmospheric perspective for the desolate land, using muted tones for distant hills and richer tones for foreground elements. Add subtle patterns to the wrapped cloth for visual interest.
