Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Night Sky Gradient - Create a breathtaking night sky by blending deep blues, purples, and even hints of black. Use lighter blues or grays near the horizon for depth.
2. 2🖍️ Asteroid Textures - Make the asteroids look realistic by using various shades of gray, brown, and reddish-brown. Add small dots or lines to suggest craters and rough, rocky surfaces.
3. 3✨ Twinkling Stars - Use a white gel pen, a very light gray pencil, or even a tiny amount of glitter glue to add sparkling, distant stars across the dark canvas of space.
4. 4🌈 Observatory Details - Focus on the architecture! Use earthy tones like browns or grays for the observatory building and a metallic silver or dark slate for the telescope dome, adding shadows for a grand effect.
