How to Color Marble Effect

A marble effect can bring a luxurious and sophisticated feel to your coloring pages! Today, we’ll be working on a page from the "Little Fuzzy" coloring book, illustrated by Southern Lotus Coloring Book,to create a marble stone effect on a bathtub using Ohuhu Markers. Follow this step-by-step tutorial to achieve a realistic and elegant look with just a few simple techniques!

Materials You’ll Need:

- "Little Fuzzy" Coloring Book by Southern Lotus Coloring Book

- Ohuhu Markers (CGII04, CGII07)

- White Gel Pen (for marble veins)

- Black Gel Pen (for shadows)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Color the Base Layer

Fill the entire bathtub surface with CGII04 to create a smooth and even light gray base. This base will set the foundation for the marble effect, providing a soft and neutral background.

Step 1 - Color the Base Layer

Step 2: Add Shadows

Using CGII07 and CGII04, add shadows to the marble surface. Apply the darker shade (CGII07) in areas where natural shadows would fall, such as the base of the tub and along the edges. Blend with CGII04 to create a smooth transition between light and shadow.

Step 2 - Add Shadows

Step 3: Color the Border of the Bathtub

Outline and fill the border of the bathtub with CGII04, keeping the edges clean and defined. This step helps to frame the marble effect and give the bathtub a polished and structured look.

Step 3 - Color the Border

Step 4: Create Marble Veins with Gel Pens

Draw random, dashed lines across the marble surface using a white gel pen to mimic the natural veins found in real marble. Then, take a black gel pen and lightly shadow one side of each white line. This technique adds depth and makes the veins appear embedded in the stone.

Step 4 - Create Marble Veins

Final Step: Your Marble Stone Effect Bathtub is Done!
