How much detail?

Small contours and closely arranged details reward a pointed pencil. Some fine texture marks sit within larger open areas. About the labels.

Try this palette: Four quiet colors

Warm accentLeaf greenQuiet blueSoft rose

Choose one iris color and repeat a little of it in the garment.

A small coloring tip

A sharp pencil suits the narrow details. Start lightly; leave small white spaces when the texture is already dense.

Choose one repeated shape or focal object and let its color connect the whole page.
