- White Gel Pen (for bubble outlines and shading)
- White Acrylic Pen (for highlights)
Step 1: Draw Random Circles
Use a white gel pen to draw random circles across your coloring page. Vary the sizes of the circles to create a natural bubble effect. Allow the ink to dry completely before moving to the next step to prevent smudging.
Step 2: Create 3D Effect with Shading
With the white gel pen, add shading to the inside of each bubble by drawing soft curves and blending gently with your finger. This step gives the bubbles a translucent and rounded appearance, enhancing the 3D effect.
Step 3: Add Highlights with White Acrylic Pen
Dot small highlights on the bubbles using a white acrylic pen. Focus on the upper edge of each bubble to mimic the way light reflects off of real bubbles, adding a magical, glowing touch.
Your page now features a beautiful bubble effect that creates a soft and dreamy atmosphere. This technique is perfect for adding an ethereal vibe to your coloring pages and works beautifully with the playful designs in the Southern Lotus Coloring Book.
