Coloring your cookie baking adventure
Skin Tones and Hair: Start by coloring the skin tones of the mom and daughter. You can use light beige or peach colors, or warmer browns for a more tanned look. Choose any race you like and give them the skin color you prefer; even green if they’re Martians!
For hair, you can choose from blonde to brown, with lighter highlights to make it look more realistic. The aprons can be bright colors like blue, red, or green, while the shirts can be neutral tones to contrast.
Objects and Details: Color the bowl they’re holding with metallic tones like gray or silver, or even bright colors like yellow or blue. The cookies can be light brown with small dark chocolate dots. The baking sheet can be a metallic gray. Pay attention to the shadows and highlights to make it look realistic, especially on the kitchen utensils and the cookie dough. You can use a gradient technique for shadows and highlights, and colored pencils or watercolors are great for this kind of drawing.
