Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Focus - Use soft, light grays, whites, and subtle creams for the doves' feathers. Vary your pressure to create texture and depth on each individual feather, making them look realistic.
2. 2🖍️ Motion Blur - For the background foliage, try using lighter, softer greens and browns. Apply them with a gentle, sweeping motion and less pressure to create a beautiful sense of movement and blur, enhancing the doves' flight.
3. 3✨ Light Source - Imagine where the sunlight is coming from. Add subtle highlights to the doves' wings and bodies where the light would catch them, perhaps with a very light yellow, white, or even a colorless blender.
4. 4🌈 Depth and Shadow - Use slightly darker shades of your chosen colors underneath the wings, on the undersides of the birds' bodies, and in shaded areas of the branch to give the image a three-dimensional and realistic appearance.
