Step-by-step: How to color balloons

To help you easily create bright and beautiful balloons, Bogiki brings you a simple step-by-step guide on how to color balloons. Let’s follow along and make your artwork shine with fun and creativity!

Step 1: Fill in the entire background with a light color

First, apply a layer of light color over the entire background to create a soft and bright feel for the artwork. Light pink (RV260) is an ideal choice, helping to highlight the balloon details later on. Make sure to color evenly to create a smooth base that’s easy to blend in the next steps.

Step 2: Layer a darker shade over it, leaving some white space

Next, add a darker shade to the areas you want, but remember to leave some white space to create a lighting effect. Light pink (RP1) will help add depth to the balloons, making them look softer and more realistic. Keeping the white areas will give the impression that the balloons are gently glowing.

Step 3: Draw small random lines

In this step, you’ll add extra detail to the balloons by drawing small, random lines over the colored surface. Use violet pink (RP6) to enhance depth and make the balloons look more lively. These small lines may seem simple, but they help add texture and a sense of movement to the illustration.

Step 4: Repeat step 2 with an even darker shade

To enhance contrast, repeat the shading step using deeper tones like bright red (R180) and violet pink (RP6). Gently apply the colors to the shadowed areas of the balloons to create a stronger three-dimensional effect. This added layer will make the balloons stand out and appear more vibrant than ever.

Step 5: Use a white gel pen to highlight

Finally, use a white gel pen to draw small highlights or light reflections on the balloons. This is an important step that adds a sparkling effect and makes the balloons look like they’re glowing under the sunlight. With just a few light touches, you can complete your artwork in a truly impressive way.
