View all →Coloring tips for this sleeping dog page
- Start with the sleeping dog first, since it is the main subject and has the largest easy-to-color areas.
- Use one color for the doghouse walls and a different gray or brown shade for the roof to help the house stand out behind the sleeping dog.
- Keep the bone in front of the sleeping dog light, such as cream or pale gray, so it remains easy to notice.
- Try light blue for the sky and leave small parts of the clouds white for a soft, clean look around the sleeping dog scene.
- Color the grass and bushes in two shades of green to separate the ground from the plants around the sleeping dog.
