Coloring Cute Puppy Pages: Tips for Bringing Your Pup to Life
When you see this amazing collection of puppy coloring pages, your brain may immediately begin to run with creative ideas on how to bring each little pup to life! Whether you’re coloring these puppies alongside your kiddos, looking for an activity to unwind after a long day, or simply adore canines (like we do), we’ve got you covered with these awesome tips below!
The Eyes
Starting off with the eyes might be obvious but trust me, they’re the heart of every single puppy illustration and deserve to shine brightly! So grab your colored pencils/pens and try some rich browns, warm ambers, or deep blues. Add a bit of sparkle by adding a small white highlight – just leave a tiny uncolored dot or use white gel pen.
The Paws
Next up: Let’s dive into those sweet little paws while working on our puppy coloring pages. For real pups’ coats, there isn’t really only 1 tone/color, so when choosing colors for their coat consider selecting a base color as well as using a slightly darker one around the ears, paws, and belly folds. Also, keep in mind that trying light, circular strokes will create much more realistic textures compared to straight ones!
Try Bright Colors
Don’t shy away from bright colors! Pages featuring cute puppies — especially in the style of cartoons — look amazing with a whole rainbow of soft pastels including pinks, lavenders, turquoises, etc.
Think about ways to bring pink into your design beyond just the fur itself. Adding light pink touches to the inside of their ears, nose, tongue, or paw pads can add a nice level of softness that gives the impression they’re real life.
What About Shadows?
Shadows will help give them some depth as well. After laying out all those pretty colors you want to use, go back and try adding little bits of shadowing under their bellies, behind their legs, or where their ears fold over. This will keep things grounded and won’t allow the little pup to float right off the paper.
Background
Add more background – try some grass, your dog’s bed, some scattered paw prints. Just don’t make the background too busy because it can distract from the beauty that is the cute puppy!
Use Different Pencils or Markers
Don’t be afraid to mix and match media (we personally love to use colored pencils along side with a fine tip marker), and even add some glitter gel pen accents to eyes and collar if needed to add some shine and sparkles on top.
Remember that whether you choose crayons, markers or colored pencils you need to have fun with it because these puppy coloring pages are created for you to celebrate the irresistible adorableness of puppies!
