How to Color Glowing Light

A glowing light effect adds a warm and festive vibe to your coloring pages! Today, we’ll be working on a page from the "Xmas Cutie" coloring book, illustrated by Southern Lotus Coloring Book, to create a realistic glowing light effect using Ohuhu Markers. Follow this step-by-step tutorial to make your holiday decorations shine with a beautiful 3D glow!

Materials You’ll Need:

- "Xmas Cutie" Coloring Book by Southern Lotus Coloring Book

- Ohuhu Markers (Black 120, G140, G120, G110, Y070, Y040, Y030, RV280, RV030, RV130, G326, G322, G320)

- White Acrylic Pen (for highlights)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Color the Cable Light

Begin by using Black 120 to fill in the cable light. Keep your strokes even to create a clean and bold base for the light bulbs.

Step 2: Create 3D Effect on the Green Light Bulb

Use G140 to color the first light bulb. Move your brush in circular motions, leaving a small white circle at the bottom to act as a natural highlight. This technique builds a 3D effect, giving the bulb a soft, glowing look.

Step 3: Add Glowing Effect with G120 and G110

Apply G120 around the green light bulb, extending slightly outward to create a soft glow. Then, use G110 for an even lighter halo effect. These gradual layers mimic the natural spread of light in a dark environment.

Step 4: Highlight with White Acrylic Pen

Draw two circles around the light bulb with a white acrylic pen to enhance the glow. These subtle highlights emphasize the light's radiance and add a magical, festive feel.

Step 5: Repeat for Other Light Bulb Colors

Repeat the same process to create additional light bulbs in:

• Yellow: Y070, Y040, Y030
• Pink: RV280, RV030, RV130
• Blue: G326, G322, G320

Each bulb should have a soft glow effect, with colors blending smoothly from dark to light and white highlights to make them pop.

Final Step: Your Glowing Light Effect is Done!

Your page now showcases beautifully glowing light bulbs that add a cheerful and festive atmosphere to your coloring project. This technique is perfect for creating holiday decorations and complements the playful designs in the Southern Lotus Coloring Book.
