How To Color - Tweed

This cute page is from the "Spooky Xmas" Coloring Book by Southern Lotus, available on Amazon and our website.

 

 

Medium used: Ohuhu alcohol markers

 

 

Start by grabbing your R240 marker. This vibrant color will serve as the base for your tweed pattern. Use it to fill in the larger areas of your design, ensuring you cover the space evenly. The Southern Lotus coloring pages are designed to make coloring smooth and enjoyable, allowing your creativity to flow effortlessly.

 

 

 

Now, it’s time to add depth! Grab your R290 marker and start drawing small overlapping lines on top of the base layer. This technique mimics the texture of tweed, creating a rich visual effect. The contrast between the R240 and R290 shades will enhance the overall look of your design.
Whether you’re using a Southern Lotus coloring book or any other, adding these lines is an excellent way to bring your page to life.

 

 

 

 

For the next step, pick up the R340 marker. This shade will add emphasis and make your tweed pattern pop! Focus on areas where you want to draw attention. This contrast will enhance the visual appeal and create a stunning layered effect. If you’re coloring for the holidays, consider using this technique on Christmas coloring pages for a festive twist!

 

 

 

 

To finish off your tweed pattern, take an acrylic pen and replicate the overlapping lines you created with R290. The acrylic pen will add a glossy finish that contrasts nicely with the matte markers, giving your design a polished look. This final touch is what transforms your coloring page into a work of art!

 

 

 

 

Tadaaaa, here’s the final result!

And just like that, the tweed masterpiece is complete! The colors blend well, creating a neat and appealing design. This finished piece adds a nice touch to any page in the Southern Lotus coloring book and is perfect for sharing or displaying.

 

 

That’s it for coloring the tweed pattern! Coloring is such a fun way to unwind, and with the Southern Lotus coloring book, there are endless possibilities. As you work on your designs, whether they’re Christmas coloring pages or any other fun patterns, remember to just relax and enjoy it. Play around with colors and techniques—there’s no right or wrong way to do it! Most importantly, have a good time bringing your creations to life.
