STEP 1. FIND YOUR LIGHT SOURCE AND LET IT SHINE!

Lots of our coloring pages give you the oppotunity to play with night and day.

When you find a light source like this lamp, its always a perfect place to start. Let the light fill its natural path, you can be generous here.

I'm using Ohuhu Y2 but any shade can work great too.

STEP 2. Add highlights everywhere!

Here's where the magic happens! By adding highlights to every object in the room, when you come to color your page everything will be ready to pop with depth and structure.

A thin line will do great, be careful though as it can be easy to miss highlights at this step! Make sure to take your time and carefully choose where the light hits.

step 3. finish by coloring as usual
