A gradient sky can transform your coloring pages into a dreamy and magical scene! Today, we’ll be working on a page from "Fuzzy In Love", illustrated by Southern Lotus Coloring Book, to create a beautiful gradient sky with a glowing moon using Ohuhu Markers. Follow this step-by-step tutorial to achieve a smooth color transition and a starry, celestial effect!
Step 1: Fill in the Moon with Y3
Start by coloring the moon with Y3. This soft yellow shade will create a warm, glowing base for the sky, helping the moon stand out against the darker tones.
Step 2: Create the Gradient Sky with Circular Blending
Color the sky in concentric circles around the moon, using the markers in this order: BG3, V230, V030, P4, and R17. The circular motion helps blend the colors smoothly, creating a natural gradient that radiates out from the moon.
Step 3: Add a Second Layer for a Stronger Gradient
Go over the sky with a second layer of the same colors. This step enhances the vibrancy and depth of the gradient, giving the sky a rich and magical feel.
Step 4: Add Dots Around the Moon with P4
Using P4, add small dots around the moon to create a subtle glowing effect. The dots add a whimsical touch, making the moon look like it is radiating light.
Step 5: Draw Stars with White Acrylic Pen
Finally, use a white acrylic pen to draw tiny stars throughout the sky. Mix small dots with a few larger sparkles to create a realistic starry effect.
Your page now features a stunning gradient sky with a glowing moon and twinkling stars. This technique is perfect for adding a celestial and dreamy atmosphere to your coloring project and works beautifully with the enchanted designs in the Southern Lotus Coloring Book.
