Step-by-Step Guide to Coloring a Bolide Sky

Step 1: Apply the First Layer

Start by coloring the entire sky with PB4. This will serve as the foundation for your night sky, ensuring a deep and rich starting point.

Step 2: Create a Gradient Effect

Gradually layer B290, B270, B250, and B220, blending each color seamlessly. Move from dark to light to create a smooth transition, mimicking the natural glow of the sky.

Step 3: Enhance the Blend

For a more polished look, add another layer of the same colors (PB4 → B290 → B270 → B250 → B220). This helps deepen the tones and achieve a perfectly blended gradient effect.

Step 4: Add Stars and Meteors

Use a white acrylic pen to dot stars across the sky. For shooting stars and meteors, apply the finger-blending technique—draw a star and lightly smudge it with your finger to create a soft glowing trail.

Final Result

Your bolide sky background is now glowing with depth and wonder! The combination of blended blues and radiant white accents creates a dreamy celestial effect.

The bolide sky effect adds depth, mystery, and a magical touch to any coloring page. With the right blending and layering techniques, you can achieve a beautiful color gradient that brings your sky to life!
