- Ohuhu Markers (E220, colorless blender)
- A coloring page with a fuzzy animal (from Little Fuzzy Coloring Book)
Step 1: Lay Down the First Layer
Start by applying a light base color to the fur. In this tutorial, we use E220, a soft warm brown, to create the foundation of the fuzzy texture. Make sure to apply the color evenly, using light strokes to avoid streaks.
Tip: Use circular motions instead of straight lines to create a natural, fluffy feel.
Step 2: Create the Fuzzy Effect with a Colorless Blender
Now, it’s time to bring the fluff to life! Take your colorless blender pen and gently dot over the base layer. This will slightly lift the color, creating a soft, textured fur effect.
Tip: For a more defined texture, add more dots in some areas while keeping others untouched. This will create a natural variation in the fur.
Step 3: Add Shadows for Depth
To make your fuzzy coloring book illustration look more realistic, add shadows using the same E220 marker. Apply small strokes or dots in areas where the fur would naturally be darker, such as under the ears, around the eyes, or along the edges.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully created a soft, fuzzy texture for your coloring page.
Whether you’re working on a coloring book with fluffy animals or designing your own pet illustrations, this technique will add a cozy and realistic touch.
