These characters have large heads and expressive faces. Compare the prop beside each character before choosing: a balloon, a patterned shell or a cushion.

The kitten and heart balloon give two large areas to color. Keep the narrow string and eye highlights clear.

You should still see the smile, the eyes and the thin balloon string at a glance.
Before adding patterns, check whether the eyes and smile still read clearly. Broad light colors usually leave more room for the tiny facial lines.
Try a new color on the balloon or cushion first if you want a different version. The character does not need extra stripes to look finished.
