Sometimes the best posts aren’t planned, they just happen.
A few sketches, a bit of mood, that moment when colors start to feel like emotions and plenty of coffee. That’s the story behind this coloring post.
Let’s see how it turned into something everyone can relate to!
Vibe Check
Gotta set the mood before the colors roll in!
Before diving into the sketch, we always check the vibe, basically where we decide what feeling relatable the drawing should have. Cozy, sleepy or maybe a little “whatever” kind of day.
Sketching Time
Now comes the fun part with sketching! It’s messy, fun and full of “oops, that’s actually cute” moments.
Sketching time means letting ideas flow. We test out expressions, play with simple lines and see which pumpkin mood fits the story best.
It might take a few tries to get it right, but this stage is where everything begins. A solid sketch builds the foundation for everything that comes after.
Lining it up
When the sketch finally looks balanced, we fade it down a bit and start tracing those confident lines.
This step in the digital art coloring process feels so satisfying when the shapes settle in, the lines feel smooth and everything starts to come together.
Perfect lines are nice, but sometimes the ones with a little wobble tell the story better!
Base Colors On
We love this part, laying down the base colors and testing how the palette works together. It’s where we balance tones, check contrast, and make sure the lighting feels right.
Tip: keep your base tones a bit lighter than you think, it’s easier to build depth later than to tone it down.
Final Touch
Now for the final touch, adding soft shading, tiny highlights, and a few gel pen pops. In this step-by-step coloring illustration, those small touches give the drawing real depth and charm.
And just like that, our little pumpkin looks as cute as we imagined and is ready to hit save🎃
