Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Textured Details - Use various shades of grey, brown, and even hints of mossy green for the cobblestone street to give it a realistic, weathered texture. Vary your pressure to create depth.
2. 2🖍️ Ornate Accents - The vintage ice cream cart is full of intricate designs! Use metallic colors like gold or silver for decorative trim, and fine-tip markers or colored pencils to highlight the delicate patterns and scrollwork.
3. 3✨ Shading for Depth - To make the historical building and the cart truly pop, consider where your light source is coming from. Add darker shadows under eaves, in window recesses, and beneath the cart to create a sense of three-dimensionality.
4. 4🌈 Vibrant Umbrella - Make the striped umbrella a focal point! Choose two contrasting, bright colors and practice blending them slightly where they meet to achieve a smooth, eye-catching effect that draws attention to the delicious treats below.
