How to Color Halloween Coloring Pages Creatively
Coloring can be one of the best group activities that brings together all family members. Especially during holidays. Like Halloween. It is possible to create a challenge, for example, who will color the Halloween coloring page in the best way. You can create this challenge with your friends as well.
That’s why we thought of creating this guide. To make your Halloween coloring pages the most distinctive among all. And that’s by learning a set of methods and techniques that will take your coloring pages to the next level.
Before starting, you will need to download and print at least one Halloween coloring page from above. And prepare your crayons and markers, in addition to a pencil. If you are ready, my friend. Let’s begin the journey of making your Halloween coloring sheets the most distinctive among all.
1. The first step is to understand and choose the right colors
Alright, Halloween makes the color wheel really simple. It revolves around dark colors, like black, which usually represents darkness, dark orange, which indicates a light source or lamp or the light emanating from a scary pumpkin, gray or blue-white, which indicates moonlight, and other dark colors.
So try to use dark colors, my friend. Most of the time, in order to maintain the character and identity of Halloween in your Halloween coloring pages.
Tip: Do some research online about the most compatible colors. This will help you a lot in staying in the Halloween style and making your coloring pages stand out.
2. Take Your Halloween Coloring Pages to the Next Level by Blending
Well, you may have seen a coloring page that your friend or relative has. And you liked the way it was colored a lot. So, you must have searched for this coloring page or a similar one, and you expected to get the same final result after finishing coloring. But unfortunately, the result was not similar to what you saw. And you asked what the problem or difference was. Right?
The answer is, using coloring techniques. If you come up with the most beautiful Halloween coloring pages and you do not use good coloring techniques, you will not get good results. Among these techniques are blending techniques and smooth transitions between colors. Through the latter, you will learn how to use different color shades, gradation, and also blending colors in order to get more colors.
How do I get different color shades?
The process is pretty easy and doesn’t take much work.
- Choose a colored pen first that you enjoy.
- Second, keep your Halloween coloring page clean by bringing a blank sheet of paper for learning.
- Third. Color right to left, in horizontal and straight lines. A line below a line. In order to get a rectangle in the end.
Well, congratulations, my friend. You have obtained a first color layer. To get a darker color, repeat the same method above, but this time with vertical lines, above the first layer. You can use this method to create a shading effect. We will learn this during the next stage.
To get a color gradient, i.e., from a darker color to a lighter color. All you have to do is create a first layer of about three rectangles. And create a second layer with the same color above the first layer, but on only two rectangles (the top and middle rectangle or the bottom and middle rectangle). Third, in order to get a color gradient, color the last rectangle with a third layer of the same color.
You can benefit from this method to mix colors. And get new compound colors or get a basic color that you do not have. For example, you can mix the colors blue and yellow to get green. This way, you can mix and match colors and surprise everyone around you and turn your Halloween coloring pages into a masterpiece.
3. Add depth to your Halloween coloring pages with shadows and highlights
One of the most used techniques by professionals is the technique of adding depth to coloring pages. With it, simple flat drawings are transformed into 3D shapes. Attract everyone around you. It’s great.
To do this, we need to learn how to add shadows and highlights. But before that, I invite you to imagine and determine the direction of the light source. For example, imagine yourself holding a flashlight and shining it in the direction of your Halloween coloring page. Pick a direction from the right or the left to point the flashlight at the colored page instead of straight at it for the best results.
Why? If you choose to point the flashlight from the right, the shadows will fall on the left side. The opposite is also true if you choose to position it on the left. Now, let’s move on to learn how to apply highlights and shadows:
Let’s start with the highlights:
The areas where the flashlight you envisioned previously casts light are the highlights.
Example: Imagine that you pointed the flashlight at the Halloween pumpkin from the right. The right side of the pumpkin is the one that receives the light directly. What does this mean? It means that we need to highlight this area using the gradient technique we learned in the previous step.
- Paint the light area a brilliant orange.
- Use a dark orange for the other areas. This is done by adding multiple layers of orange.
In the same way, apply the same thing to all parts of your Halloween coloring page.
Now let’s move on to the shadows:
Let’s keep the example of the Halloween pumpkin above. If the direction of the light is coming from the right, then drop the shadow on the left in this way:
- Get a pencil.
- On the left, sketch the pumpkin’s shadow in about a circle’s form.
- Color it with a pencil or black pen.
And that’s all. I hope you benefited from this paragraph and made your Halloween coloring pages come to life.
4. Improve the background
One of the things that will make your Halloween coloring pages more beautiful and attractive, my friend. Is improving the background. Because improving the latter will fill the space in the background. Which will make your Halloween coloring page look like a picture or a painting.
How will we do this?
- First, my friend. Get a pencil and a white sheet of paper. The latter will be used to learn how to draw some elements associated with Halloween.
- Second, try to draw the most famous elements associated with the Halloween holiday. Such as bats, stars, pumpkins, and other simple elements.
- Third, after learning to draw these elements. Apply what you have learned to your Halloween coloring pages. In a way that makes their background complete. Such as adding stars, bats, and others.
- Fourth, color these elements according to the appropriate color for them.
My friend, you may not get the best result from the first attempt. This is not a problem. Frequent application will gain you experience, and you will reach the result you want.
5. Finalize and Display Your Coloring Page
Well, buddy. We have arrived at the last phase of this guide. Where we will put the final touches on your Halloween coloring page. And get it ready for presentation as well.
Here are the steps:
- First, bring a pencil and redraw the outlines of each character on your page.
