Ha pp y colouring!
Don’t be afraid to experiment with tones. Create a wonderful monochromatic effect by simply using varying shades of the same colour. Build up density by applying layers of the same colour over each other.
Create different finishes by using alternative styles of shading or cross-hatching. For example only use circular motions, or combine techniques to create new textures.
