What are some coloring tips for this page?

1. Layer Your Colors: Start with light pressure and build up to darker shades for depth and dimension, especially on the clock faces and key details.
2. Define with Contrast: Use a slightly darker shade in the crevices of gears and along the edges of keys to make them "pop" off the page.
3. Play with Texture: Try stippling (small dots) on the doodled sections for a fun texture, or use smooth gradients on the clock faces.
4. Background vs. Foreground: Decide if you want the vintage items to stand out (color them boldly) or if you want the doodled background to be the star (use brighter colors there).
5. There are No Mistakes: If a color goes outside the lines, incorporate it into the doodles! This is your artistic domain.
