Compare how much of the page belongs to the dog and how much belongs to its surroundings.
A broad face and cushion
The corgi and round pillow offer large spaces. Use different colors to separate the paws from the cushion.
Corgi with a Pillow →
Lots of small objects
The flower shop includes petals, pots and ribbon spools. A sharp pencil suits these narrow spaces.
Dog in the Flower Shop →
An action in four panels
The puppy sees, chases and carries a ball. Repeat its colors to connect the sequence.
Puppy Fetches a Ball →Follow the ball through the comic
Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.
Digital coloring example
- 1. Red ball
- 2. Tan puppy
- 3. White surroundings
- Color the ball red wherever it appears, including in the puppy’s mouth; the narrow seam can stay white.
- Use the same light tan for the puppy in all four panels, leaving eye highlights white.
- Keep grass and bushes white so the action is clear. Tell the story from left to right, upper row then lower row, pointing to the ball.
The ball should be easy to follow. Grass and bushes can stay white so the action remains clear.

Choose a page
For a puppy with a simple background, choose the seated pup wearing a triangular bandana. Start with the broad body shapes, then color the bandana. For more detail, try the flower shop or the reading corner with a patterned rug. The four-panel ball game lets you follow a short sequence while coloring. Compare the seated dog with a bandana and the four-legged dog standing in a raincoat. The raincoat scene also has an open umbrella lying to the side, a fence and a puddle in front.
Try it together
Choose a coat color for the puppy and a contrasting color for its bandana. You can add dots or stripes inside the bandana outline. Set the two dog pictures together and compare their poses and the objects around them. Point to the bandana, coat and umbrella, then choose colors for the cloth shapes.
