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

1. 1Start with the castle walls and gate: color the tower walls and stones light gray and medium gray, the left tower base beige, and the gate opening charcoal gray.
2. 2Color the three pointed roofs, battlements, and flags coral red, leaving the small roof lines as they are.
3. 3Fill the bridge planks with wood brown, then add the chains and bridge edges in medium gray.
4. 4Color the tiger's vest bright blue and his pants denim blue, then use orange and dark brown on the tail, paws, and ear, keeping the shirt and muzzle cream white.
5. 5Add grass green bushes, lime green patches on the ground, pale sky blue clouds, and golden yellow window sills with aqua blue window glass. Leave the sky and eye whites white.
6. 6Optional: add a slightly darker shade of each color along one side of the walls and roofs for a little depth.
