Coloring ideas for Characters
Give each character a signature color palette to make them feel authentic — think SpongeBob's sunny yellow or a princess's classic purple gown. Encourage kids to use lighter shades first, then layer darker tones for depth. Skin tones look most natural when you blend peach and light brown together. Metallic gel pens add a fun pop of shine to costumes, crowns, or accessories, making character scenes feel extra special and polished.
