COLORING TIPS
Try using soft, gentle strokes for Hugo’s skin and experiment with blending two colors for the shadows and wrinkles. Add a splash of color to Hugo’s cheeks or inside the ears for extra charm. If you wish, draw a background with water, grass, or little flowers to make the scene even livelier.
