What are some coloring tips for this page?

• Layer for Depth: Start with light pressure and build up layers to create rich shadows and bright highlights, especially on the troll’s skin and the tree bark.
• Play with Light: Use your Magic Glow (#FFE066) and Fairy Wing (#D4B1FF) colors sparingly to make the mushrooms, runes, and hidden fairies appear to shimmer.
• Texture Fun: Use small, circular strokes for mossy stones, and short, quick lines for the troll’s shaggy hair and beard.
• Background First: Consider coloring the background elements (like distant trees and sky) first to avoid smudging finer foreground details later.
