Coloring Tips for Your Robot Coloring Pages
You might feel stumped now that you have all your robot coloring pages before you. Robots can be a hard thing to color because they’re made of metal, but we’ve got a bunch of tips and tricks to help you color your robots. Check them out!
Use Lots of Shades and Tints
If you’re trying to color in metal, say, on a robot, there are two super important things you should learn about first: shades and tints. A shade is a color that you add black to; a tint is a color that you add white to. Shades and tints can give you brand new colors that work well for things like metal. Why? Because black and white are a bit tough to color with on their own. The white won’t show up at all, and the black will wash everything out.
Instead, try shades and tints. You could start with red, for example, and add in black to make a dark tint with a little bit of red in it. Or go the opposite way and lighten the red with white. Either direction you go, you’ll likely get a more dynamic and interesting color than just black or white. Blue is a great starting place when you want to color in metal surfaces.
Go Beyond Black and White
However, you should also consider going beyond black and white. Our robot coloring pages aren’t exactly scientific diagrams. Even the most realistic ones are open to your interpretation. So if you want to make the Mars rover purple, we say go for it! You can color your robots any color you like. Add some highlights and shadows if you want to go for a metallic sheen. You could even try something like a gold or silver marker instead of crayons or colored pencils. Those will make for some really bold colors.
Learn About Complementary Colors
No matter how you approach coloring your robot coloring pages, you will do yourself a favor if you take the time to learn about complementary colors. This gets into color theory a bit, but don’t worry. We’ll break it down so it’s super simple.
Complementary colors are just pairs of colors that sit opposite each other on the color wheel. For example, blue and orange are opposites. You probably know this instinctively. Just take a look at many professional sports uniforms. A lot of them use complementary colors to create a striking effect. You can do the same with your robot coloring pages. Go for some complementary colors to make your cute robot really pop off the page.
Let Your Imagination Run Wild
Finally, let your imagination run wild as you color your robot coloring pages. We can offer some tips and tricks, but in the end, the choice is yours. Don’t hold yourself back. These free printables are a great place to let loose, or to encourage your children to let loose. Even if the end result isn’t perfect, letting your imagination flex its muscles is always a good exercise.
