How to choose your colours
Fairies are often associated with light pastels, pinks and purples. But you can choose whatever colours you like for your fairy folk. We recommend choosing your colours before you start colouring – you can use our colour palette challenges for inspiration, or read our guide on how to choose a colour scheme for your colouring page.
Skin tones
You are definitely going to need to colour some fairy skin – why not try something new with our colouring tutorial for how to colour fairy skin like Christine Karron?
Alternatively, we also have some video tutorial about how to colour fair skin and how to colour dark skin, if you want your fairy to have a more realistic skin complexion.
How to colour fairy hair
Beautiful flowing locks of hair are a really challenging colouring project – but essential for a beautiful fairy figure! When colouring hair, it’s important to be fluid with your markings to replicate the flowing nature of hair.
We also have a wonderful video tutorial about how to colour hair.
