Flower coloring in Daydreams by Hanna Karlzon | layering technique tutorial | Color Along
For this flower coloring tutorial in Daydreams by Hanna Karlzon, you’ll be guided through a step-by-step process using a layering technique with colored pencils. We’ll start by selecting a soft base color to fill in the petals, then gradually build depth and dimension by layering progressively darker shades. You’ll learn how to blend colors seamlessly to achieve smooth transitions and create realistic highlights and shadows. We’ll also explore adding fine details like veins and texture for a more intricate look. Follow along for tips on color choices, pencil pressure control, and blending techniques for a beautifully detailed, vibrant flower. In this detailed flower coloring tutorial from Daydreams by Hanna Karlzon, we focus on mastering the layering technique to bring your flowers to life. Here’s the breakdown:
1. Choosing Your Color Palette: Start by selecting 3-4 shades for each flower. For instance, you could choose a light pastel, a mid-tone, and 1-2 darker hues for contrast. We’ll also pick complementary greens for the stems and leaves.
2. Laying the Base Layer: Using the lightest shade, apply a smooth, even base layer over the petals with light pressure. This will serve as the foundation for the colors to blend into later.
3. Building Depth with Layering: Next, take your mid-tone and gently add a second layer starting from the base of the petals, where shadows naturally fall. Gradually fade out the color as you move toward the tip of each petal, using circular motions to avoid harsh lines.
4. Adding Shadows and Dimension: Use your darkest shade to intensify the shadows at the base and any areas that curve inward. This helps give the flower a 3D appearance. Blend this into the mid-tone by overlapping the colors slightly and adjusting pressure for smooth transitions.
5. Highlighting and Blending: After adding depth, go over the entire petal with your lightest color again, which will help blend all the layers smoothly and soften any harsh edges. You can also use a colorless blender pencil for a more polished finish.
6. Enhancing Petal Texture: To make the petals look more realistic, you can add fine details like veins or subtle texture with a sharp pencil or a slightly darker color. Light, short strokes will help achieve a delicate look.
7. Finishing Touches: Use highlights strategically-either by lightly erasing small areas or applying a white pencil to emphasize where the light hits the petals.
Throughout the tutorial, we’ll also cover pressure control techniques, how to avoid wax bloom, and tips for layering multiple colors without muddying your artwork. By the end of this color along, you’ll have a vibrant, lifelike flower with rich gradients and professional-looking shading.
