For our design, we started with a darker color on the outer parts of the bear. It's best to start with the outline so it's easier to color the inner parts of your design. Just fill in the remaining areas with a lighter color that complements your darker color.
- To add highlights and layers to your design, use a white acrylic paint marker to complete the look.
And there you have it–a brand-new looking pencil case with your own stamp of creativity on it. We’d love to see what you come up with, so tag us on Instagram @chalkola using the hashtag #ChalkolaArt for a chance to be featured. We hope you enjoyed this artivity as much as we did.
