MATERIALS:
  • 2 different colour markers
  • Intermediate colour marker

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Colour in the drawing with the lighter colour.

Step 2: Use the medium hue for shading, leaving the initial colour visible for the brighter areas.

Step 3: Using the light-coloured marker, go over the parts where the two colours meet in order to make the transition more gradual.

Step 4: Use the dark hue to emphasize darker areas and go back to the medium hue to create a smooth transition between the two.

Step 5: Go over the entire drawing with the initial lighter colour to complete the gradation.
