Coloring Tips

1. Start with large areas: Paint the dragon’s body and balloons first, so you can quickly build the overall color framework and avoid missing anything.
2. Use gradient effects: Try to paint the balloons and dragon’s body from dark to light (for example, dark on the top of the balloon and light on the bottom) to increase the three-dimensional effect.
3. Lightly paint the wings: Use light or translucent paint to paint the short wings of the little dragon to keep it light and avoid heavy colors that make it look clumsy.
4. Highlight white space: Leave a little space or paint light colors in the dragon’s eyes and the reflective areas of the balloon to create a shiny effect and make the picture more vivid.
5. Color matching: Use 3-4 bright colors (such as red, yellow, and blue) for the balloons, and choose the main color (such as green/purple) for the dragon’s body with contrasting balloons to highlight the cuteness.
