Colored pencils are highly recommended for the intricate details of the termite, the wood grain, and the moss. Fine-tipped markers or gel pens can be used for precise outlines or adding subtle highlights to the fungi and termite's antennae. Broader markers can cover larger log areas smoothly.
Start by coloring the large areas of the log with a base brown, applying even pressure. Focus on outlining the termite and its legs before filling them in. Use simple, complementary greens for the moss. Don't worry about perfection; enjoy the process of bringing the scene to life.
Utilize cross-hatching to emphasize the wood grain and cracks on the log. Employ stippling for the moss and fungi to create realistic textures. Experiment with layering multiple shades of brown and green to achieve depth and shadow around the termite. Use a fine-tipped tool for the termite's delicate features.
