Colouring patterns

  1. Give each section its own colour family and leave a few areas white for breathing room.

  2. Gel pens and fine-liners keep tiny areas crisp. Test them on the margin first.

  3. Work in short sessions. Tight patterns are easier on the eyes in 20 minute bursts.

No printer? No problem.
