Puppy dog

Did you know puppies are born blind and deaf? They don’t open their eyes until after a week or two. And their strongest sense at birth is smell. That’s why you often see puppies moving their noses all the time; they’re exploring the world with their sense of smell!

1. Choose your colors:
Before starting, decide which colors you want to use. Do you want the puppy to be brown, white, black, golden, or a mix of colors? You can color it like your favorite dog or invent your own colors!

2. Coloring techniques:

• Colored pencils: If you use colored pencils, you can try shading. Color harder on one side of the puppy and lighter on the other to give it a three-dimensional look.
• Watercolors: If you have watercolors, you can give the puppy a soft, blurred look. Remember to use a brush and water carefully so you don’t go outside the lines.
• Blending: With colored pencils, you can smudge them with your fingers or a blending stick to soften and merge the colors.
• Layering: Apply a base color and then add layers of other colors on top to provide more depth and texture to the fur.

3. Creative details:

• Sparkle in the eyes: You can use some white gel or shiny paint to add sparkle to the puppy’s eyes and make it look more lifelike.
• Texture in the fur: Use an old toothbrush and lightly paint it. Then brush it over the drawing to create a fluffy hair texture.

4. Other materials:

• Sequins or glitter: You can glue small sequins or sprinkle some glitter on the puppy’s collar to make it stand out.
• Cotton: For the tail or ears, you can glue small balls of cotton to give it a furry appearance that’s soft to the touch.
• Aluminum foil: You can use small pieces to give it a shiny collar or even a reflective effect in the eyes.
• Torn colored paper: For a collage effect, tear small bits of colored paper and glue them onto specific areas, like the fur or the background.
• Stamps and stencils: If you have stamps with shapes (like dog paw prints, bones, or hearts), you can use them to add fun details around the puppy.
• Dried leaves and flowers: Glue small dried leaves or flowers onto the drawing to give it a three-dimensional and natural touch.
