2️⃣ Soft Woodland Lighting Technique (Essential for Teens & Adults)
Before coloring:
Choose your forest lighting mood:
• Morning sunlight through trees
• Golden sunset glow
• Soft snowfall reflection
• Lantern-lit evening forest
Step-by-step:
- Lay down light base tone (caramel for Bambi, soft grey for Thumper).
- Add gentle mid-tone under chin, belly, and legs.
- Deepen shadow lightly opposite light source.
- Blend with small circular strokes.
- Add tiny white gel pen highlights in eyes for warmth.
The goal is softness, not drama.
