Tips for the Perfect Coloring Experience
Want to make your dog coloring pages look absolutely amazing? Here are my tried-and-true tips for getting the best results:
Choosing the Right Paper Not all paper is created equal for coloring! For best results, use paper that’s at least 20lb weight – it won’t bleed through and can handle multiple coloring tools. Cardstock works wonderfully if you plan to display your finished artwork.
Crayons vs. Markers vs. Colored Pencils
Crayons:
- Pros: Great for young kids, hard to mess up, vibrant colors
- Cons: Can be waxy, harder to get fine details
Markers:
- Pros: Bold, even coverage, great for large areas
- Cons: Can bleed through paper, permanent mistakes
Colored Pencils:
- Pros: Perfect control, easy to blend, great for details
- Cons: Takes longer to fill large areas, can be light
