How to Color Giraffe Pattern

Creating a realistic giraffe pattern in your coloring projects adds an exotic and natural touch to your artwork. In this tutorial, we'll use a page from the "Fuzzy In Love" coloring book by Cottage Vibes Coloring Book to demonstrate effective techniques for coloring giraffe patterns. By following these steps, you'll learn how to apply base colors and create organic shapes to mimic the unique spots of a giraffe.

Materials Needed

  • "Fuzzy In Love" Coloring Book by Cottage Vibes Coloring Book
  • Ohuhu Markers: RV010, V020

Step-by-Step Guide: Coloring a Giraffe Pattern

Step 1: Apply the Base Layer with RV010

Begin by covering the entire area designated for the giraffe pattern with the RV010 marker. This base layer establishes the foundation color of the giraffe's coat, providing a consistent backdrop for the spots.

Step 1 - Apply the Base Layer

Step 2: Draw Organic Shapes with V020

Using the V020 marker, draw random organic shapes of varying sizes across the base layer to create the giraffe's spots. Giraffe spots are typically irregular and asymmetrical, so vary the shapes and sizes to achieve a natural look. Ensure that the spots are spaced unevenly, mimicking the authentic pattern found on a giraffe's coat.

Step 2 - Draw Organic Shapes

Final Result: Your Cute Giraffe Pattern is Complete

By following these steps, you've created a cute giraffe pattern that adds character and depth to your illustration. The combination of a solid base color and irregular spots brings the giraffe pattern to life, enhancing the overall appeal of your artwork.
