Reading the Step Images
The color system in each step image helps track progress:
- Grey indicates underlying sketch lines from previous steps
- Red shows new lines being added at that particular step
- Black represents completed portions of the drawing
Start by sketching lightly in pencil through all the steps. Once the jar of heart candies looks right, trace over final lines with ink or fine liner. After the ink dries completely, erase the pencil marks underneath. When coloring, make the jar appear glassy with light blue tones, then fill the hearts with a rainbow of colors including red, pink, purple, yellow, and blue to create that classic candy assortment look.
