Creative ideas for colouring in the Halloween drawing
1. Witch Costumes:
•Witch Hats: Traditionally, witch hats are black, but you can be creative. Use dark purple or green tones to make them more interesting. You can even add shiny details with metallic pencils or glitter on the edges for a magical touch.
•Dresses: You can choose colors like orange, purple, or black for the dresses. Add small details, like stripes or dots, with a contrasting color to make it more fun.
2. The Pumpkins:
•Pumpkins are usually bright orange. But don’t feel limited to the traditional—use shades of yellow, red, or even purple to give it a unique twist.
•Add shadows around the pumpkins to make them look more realistic, using light brown or dark gray colored pencils for the shadows under the pumpkins.
•For the carved faces on the pumpkins, use black for the eyes and mouth, but you can add a glow with a bit of yellow or white around the edges, as if the pumpkins were lit from within.
3. The Background:
•Use soft tones for the trees and the ground. Browns and dark greens can work well to give an enchanted forest atmosphere.
•For the sky in the background, choose dark colors like blue or purple, but you can add a sparkle, like a moon or stars, with white or silver pencils.
4. Techniques and Tricks:
•Colored Pencils: These are ideal for adding details like soft shadows or textures on the costumes and pumpkins. You can make small strokes to give the scene more realism.
•Crayons: They work well for quickly filling in large areas, like the background or the dresses. If you want the colors to look soft, press lightly.
•Watercolors: If you’re looking for a softer, more translucent effect for the background, watercolors can give a gentle touch to the sky or the trees.
•Markers: For sharper details, like the faces on the pumpkins or the edges of the costumes, fine markers can help you highlight certain elements.
