COLORING TIPS

Try blending colored pencils or markers for soft gradients through the mandala flowers and the platypus’s fur. Alternating cool and warm tones in the petals can give a lively effect. Fine-tipped pens are great for the details, or use gel pens to add shimmer. Experiment with a background wash to set the scene.
