Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate details within each letter scene, allowing for precise control and layering. Fine-tip markers can provide crisp lines and vibrant fills for smaller areas. For larger background sections, watercolor pencils or brush markers can create smooth washes and interesting textures.
Start by outlining the main shapes within each letter scene before filling them in. Use a limited palette of 3-5 colors for a cohesive look. Focus on coloring one letter at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Practice light and even pressure for smooth coverage.
Employ cross-hatching or stippling for texture on the sand and rocky areas. Use color blending to create realistic water and sky gradients within the scenes. Experiment with warm and cool tones to add depth and perspective to the buildings and landscapes. Consider adding subtle shadows to the 3D letter edges for extra dimension.
