How to Color the Braid

A braid is easy to ruin with one flat color. This method keeps it looking woven.

  1. Pick three related shades. One light, one medium and one dark of the same base color.
  2. Cover the whole braid with the lightest shade. Use gentle pressure so you can add more later.
  3. Shade under each twist with the medium color. Short curved strokes that follow the braid work best.
  4. Add the darkest shade only at the edges and in the gaps. This is what gives depth.
  5. Leave a few light spots on top of the twists. They suggest light shining on the hair.

For a loose braid, keep the strokes softer and let a few strands go lighter. For a thick braid, make the shading sharper and more regular.

How to Color Jewelry and Small Details

Jewelry looks best when it has a light spot, a mid tone and a dark edge, not one flat color.

Look

Colors to try

Gold

Light yellow, then orange, with a little light brown at the edges

Pearl or bead

Color jewelry after the skin and hair so the small areas stay clean. Metallic gel pens in silver and gold are good for earrings and chains if you have them. [ADD ONE REAL NOTE from your own test, such as which pen or pencil you used for small details.

Best Tools for Fine Detail

  • Colored pencils give the most control on the braid and the face.
  • Fine-tip markers are good for thin chains and small earrings. Test them first on a spare sheet.
  • Gel pens add shine on metal, but let the colors under them dry or settle first.
  • Crayons are best for large areas, like a light background.

Keep the background light, such as a pale sweep with the side of a crayon. It leaves the braid and the jewelry as the star of the page.

Printing Tips

  • Choose Fit to page so the artwork stays centered and nothing is cropped.
  • Normal printer paper works for pencils and crayons. For fine-tip markers and gel pens, use slightly heavier paper if your printer allows it.
  • Put a spare sheet under the page when using markers.
  • To save ink, print in black and white. The lines are already black.
