- Cottage Vibes Coloring Book by Southern Lotus Coloring Book

- Ohuhu Markers (PB7, PB8, PB6, PB4)

- White acrylic pen

 

Step-by-Step Guide

 

Step 1: Color the Sky with Gradient Blues

Start by applying PB7, PB8, and PB6 from light to dark to create a smooth gradient effect in the night sky. Begin with PB7 at the horizon, transitioning to PB8, and finally use PB6 at the top of the page to represent the deep night sky.

 

Step 2: Blend Colors with an Extra Layer

Add a second layer of colors to improve the blending and depth of the sky. Use gentle circular motions with the markers to soften transitions between shades, giving the sky a natural and smooth appearance.

 

Step 3: Draw Clouds with PB4

Use PB4 to draw soft clouds across the sky. Apply light strokes and smudge slightly with a colorless blender if needed to create a wispy and airy cloud effect.

 

Step 4: Draw the Moon with White Acrylic Pen

Create the moon using a white acrylic pen, keeping it bright and crisp. A small, circular shape works well, and you can add a slight halo effect around it by softly blending the edges.

 

Step 5: Add Highlights to Clouds and Stars

Use the white acrylic pen to add highlights on the clouds, focusing on the edges and curves to mimic the moonlight's glow. Draw small stars across the sky, using dots and tiny crosses to add a sparkling effect.

 

Final Step: Your Moonlight Night Sky is Done!

 

Your page now features a beautiful and serene moonlight night sky with a soft, glowing effect that adds a peaceful and celestial vibe to your coloring project.
