How to Color a Furry Rug

A furry rug can add warmth and a cozy feel to your coloring pages! Today, we’ll be working on a page from "Xmas Corner", illustrated by Southern Lotus Coloring Book, to create a soft and textured rug effect using Ohuhu Markers. Follow this step-by-step tutorial to achieve a realistic 3D furry look in just a few simple steps!

Materials You’ll Need:

- "Xmas Corner" Coloring Book by Southern Lotus Coloring Book

- Ohuhu Markers (R1, R6, R8)

- White Acrylic Pen (for highlights)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Color the First Layer

Start by filling the entire rug area with R1 to create a smooth and even light red base. This base layer will provide a soft undertone for the furry texture.

Step 1 - Color the Base Layer

Step 2: Draw Furry Blades with R6

Using R6, draw short, flicked lines by making a dot and quickly flicking the marker upwards. Vary the direction and length of the strokes to mimic natural fur texture.

Step 2 - Draw Furry Blades

Step 3: Add Depth with R8 for 3D Effect

Repeat the flicking process with R8, focusing on shading at the bottom of the rug. This step adds a sense of depth and creates a 3D effect, making the rug look more fluffy and layered.

Step 3 - Add Depth

Step 4: Highlight with White Acrylic Pen

Use the white acrylic pen to draw more flicked lines as highlights. Apply the same technique as before to add light-catching details and enhance the softness of the rug.

Step 4 - Add Highlights

Final Step: Your Furry Rug with 3D Effect is Done!

Your page now features a realistic and cozy furry rug that brings a warm, homey vibe to your coloring project. This technique is perfect for adding a soft and plush texture to your coloring pages and complements the charming designs in the Southern Lotus Coloring Book.
