Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Guardian's Wraps - Use fine-tipped pencils or markers to highlight the intricate patterns on the guardian's bandages. Consider metallic or jewel tones for a magical touch, or subtle earth tones for a more ancient feel.
2. 2🖍️ Lush Oasis - Bring the oasis to life with vibrant greens for the palm trees and a range of blues and teals for the clear water. Add reflections of the trees in the water for extra realism.
3. 3✨ Desert Depth - Create a sense of distance by using warm, muted tones like ochre, sienna, and light browns for the desert sand in the foreground, transitioning to cooler, paler blues and purples for the distant ancient ruins and sky.
4. 4🌈 Delicate Details - Pay close attention to the small desert bird. Use natural bird colors, or give it fantastical plumage. Use a very sharp pencil for its tiny features and the intricate carvings on the ruins.
