Materials Needed:

 

- Cottage Vibes Coloring Book by Southern Lotus Coloring Book

- Ohuhu Markers (Y6, Y030, Y3, YR4, V020, V160)

- White acrylic pen

 

Step-by-Step Guide

 

Step 1: Draw the Sun with Y6

Start by drawing half of the sun on the horizon using Y6, a bright yellow shade. Keep the edges smooth and even, as this will be the brightest part of your sunrise.

 

Step 2: Color the Sky with Gradient Shades

Apply colors in this order:

- Y030 for the first ring around the sun

- Y3 to extend the soft yellow glow

- YR4 to add warm orange tones

- V020 to create a soft transition to purple hues

- V160 for the outer edges of the sky, adding a calm and cool contrast

Blend each color smoothly into the next to achieve a natural gradient effect.

 

Step 3: Add an Extra Layer for Better Blending

Go over the colored areas again with the same markers, applying a second layer to enhance the color depth and create a smoother transition between shades. This step helps to make the sunrise look more vibrant and cohesive.

 

Step 4: Add Sunbeam and Glowing Effect with White Acrylic Pen

Use a white acrylic pen to draw soft sunbeams radiating from the sun's center. Add curved lines and dots to create a glowing effect, mimicking the morning light spreading across the sky.

 

Final Step: Your Glowing Sunrise is Done!

 

Your page now features a beautiful and radiant sunrise with a smooth, glowing effect that adds a warm and peaceful vibe to your coloring project.
