How much detail?

The broad coat is surrounded by many small fern leaflets, bark marks, stones and leaf veins. About the labels.

Use light cool shades in the coat and warmer leaf colors to separate the dog from the woodland.

A small coloring tip

A sharpened pencil suits the many fern leaflets, bark marks and stones; use light broad layers on the coat.

Choose three fallen leaves along the path to share one bright color.
