Step 1: Create a light effect

First, you need to create a light effect to make the blanket look vibrant and full of depth. Use Acid Yellow (Y070) to gently color the center area of the blanket, highlighting where the light naturally hits. Focus on the middle or edges of the blanket, as these are the spots where light typically falls. Be sure to apply light and even strokes to achieve a soft, cozy texture. This step is essential in any blanket coloring tutorial to bring out the warmth and realism in your artwork.

Step 2: Color the base

After identifying the highlighted areas, the next step is to apply the base color to the blanket. Use Cadmium Orange (YR190) to create the main tone for the blanket’s surface. This warm orange not only makes the blanket look more vibrant but also evokes a sense of comfort and relaxation. When coloring, make sure to use even strokes and avoid pressing too hard to maintain a smooth gradient. This base layer plays a crucial role in supporting the shading and texturing steps that follow.

Step 3: Adding shadow

To make the blanket appear deeper and more realistic, add shading using Copper (E130). Focus on areas with folds, hidden corners, or spots beneath other objects like books or stuffed animals. Lightly layer the shading over the base color to create a smooth and natural gradient. Properly adding shadows will keep the blanket from looking flat and instead bring it to life with a more dynamic and three-dimensional feel.

Step 4: Use a darker shade to draw straight lines for a plaid effect

Now it’s time to create a plaid pattern for the blanket. Still using Copper (E130), take a fine-tipped marker to draw straight, parallel lines that form evenly spaced plaid squares. Although this is a small detail, it adds a lot of character and style to the blanket. Keep your hand steady while drawing to ensure the lines are clean, consistent, and well-aligned.

Step 5: Decorate with a white gel pen

Finally, to add a lively finishing touch to the blanket, use a white gel pen for decoration. You can lightly dot small white highlights over the plaid pattern or outline key lines to create a sparkling light effect. A white gel pen is also handy for fixing small mistakes or adding extra highlights to the fabric texture. With just a few delicate touches, your blanket will appear much softer and more visually appealing.
