Packing Pom-Poms Into a Gym Bag for Cheerleading

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

• sky blue
• peach skin
• warm brown
• bright red
• honey tan
• bubblegum pink
• dark navy
• pale pink

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

1. 1Start with the big blue gym bag: color the bag body, both jackets, and the bag edges in sky blue, leaving the pom-poms and sneakers white.
2. 2Color the girl's skin peach, including her face, arms, neck, and kneeling leg, then fill her hair and ponytail with warm brown.
3. 3Use bright red for the cheer top, the pleated skirt, the hair bow, and the red pom-poms, keeping the white V stripe and white pom-pom ribbons untouched.
4. 4Add honey tan to the wooden bench and coat rack, and bubblegum pink to the two bag handles. Use dark navy on the bag's top right edge.
5. 5Optional: Add a little pale pink to the small accent on the pom-poms and a touch of darker blue on the bag's buckle for extra depth.
