How to color the reunion dinner handwritten newspaper

Use marker pens or oil pastels to paint the appropriate color on the drawn outline.

Coloring skills;

1.

There should be no more than three main colors. When color matching, we need to set the basic tone for the entire picture. We often When I saw Dachu's illustrations, I felt that they used a lot of colors. In fact, when I zoomed it out, I saw that there were only three main colors. The first one is white, the second one is blue, the third one is red, and the other colors next to it are not very large and are used for decoration...

2.

There is no balance between light and heavy colors. Generally speaking, light colors give people a light feeling, while dark colors have a heavy feeling. If we want to give people in the picture a comfortable feeling, we must pay attention to the balance of light and heavy, such as between light colors and dark colors. The proportion distribution of this picture should be kept balanced as much as possible, and the proportion should be avoided as much as possible, so that we can pay attention to where its focus is...

3.

Avoid the colors getting dirty in the color matching If there are some colors that lack slightly higher purity as a foil, it will easily give people a bloated feeling. At this time, it is necessary to appropriately brighten the color purity and transparency. How to choose a Caldecott Award picture book? Among the picture books I have read, I recommend these

The American Caldecott Award

is equivalent to the "Oscar Award" in the picture book world. The Caldecott Medal, which began in 1938 and has a history of more than 60 years, was established in memory of the 19th-century British picture book painter Randolph Caldecott. Every year, the American Library Association invites education scholars, professionals and librarians to form a review committee to select a first prize and two to three outstanding works from the books published that year. Moms have been asking me this all the time, so I’ll compile it into a post and post it for everyone’s reference. These books are a summary of the Caldecott Medal-winning books I have read, not all the Caldecott Medal-winning books! The age of the books given in the book list is the youngest starting age. In fact, the books have no boundaries. These books are 6 years old Reading and reading by 10 years old have different benefits. The picture book is suitable for 0-99 years old.
