Boy Wading in a Rubber Duck Swimming Ring

A gentle color plan to get started — mix in your own anytime.

• peach skin
• lemon yellow
• chestnut brown
• bright blue
• tangerine orange
• coral pink

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.

1. 1Color the boy's face, chest, arms, legs, and ears with peach skin, leaving the small shoulder and arm highlights white.
2. 2Fill the messy hair with chestnut brown, keeping a few light streaks uncolored.
3. 3Color the swim ring and the duck's head with lemon yellow, leaving the eye whites and the water unfilled.
4. 4Fill the swim shorts with bright blue, then add the darker hem lines at the bottom.
5. 5Color the duck's beak and mouth with tangerine orange, then fill the boy's open mouth with coral pink and leave the teeth white.
6. 6Optional: add a little darker peach on the skin edges and a light brown shade under the hair for depth.
