Fun Fact

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Focus - Use varying shades of black, deep grey, and even subtle blues or purples to give the crow's feathers a realistic, iridescent sheen. Layer colors lightly to build depth.
2. 2🖍️ Textured Pages - For the open book's pages, try light creams, off-whites, or subtle yellows. Add very light grey or brown lines to suggest the texture of aged paper and the faint impression of text.
3. 3✨ Weathered Wood - The park bench is old! Use a mix of browns, greys, and even a touch of mossy green. Vary your pressure and direction to create the look of worn wood grain, cracks, and subtle imperfections.
4. 4🌈 Pattern Play - Pay close attention to the intricate pattern frame around the scene. Choose contrasting colors or even metallic shades (if you have them) to make the detailed elements truly pop and define the border.
