This Jonah and the Big Fish design offers a perfect canvas for exploring color layering techniques. Let your creativity flow and enjoy the process of bringing this artwork to life!
Colored pencils are excellent for detailed areas like Jonah and for blending on the whale. Markers provide vibrant, even coverage for the larger sections. For crisp cut lines, a fine-tipped black pen can be used after coloring.
Start by coloring the large whale body first with a light base color. Use simple, solid colors for Jonah's clothes and skin. Focus on staying within the lines, especially around the whale's mouth and Jonah. Take breaks to keep your hand steady.
Experiment with blending shades of blue or green on the whale's body to create depth and texture. Use subtle shading within Jonah's clothes to give them dimension. Consider adding small patterns or scales to the whale's skin. Use a fine-tipped marker for crisp outlines on the cut lines.
