This drawing has everything you need to have fun colouring in: a cheerful little pirate, a ship in the background and a treasure chest full of loot. It’s perfect for using bright, bold colours and trying out different colour combinations. Use browns and golds for the chest, mix reds, blues and greens for the treasure items and colour the sea and sky with soft blues, leaving some white areas for the clouds. The ship is a good place to practise shading the sails and adding wood textures. And the pirates? Give them your own style! Skin, clothes, bandana, boots— – all of these are a good opportunity to experiment and play with colours.
