Top Tips:
• Use good-quality coloured pencils, especially for the white, or it may not show up very well over the painted background.
• Vary the weight (thickness) of your lines when drawing the details to make them look more realistic.
• Layer up your colours gradually - don't press too firmly too quickly or it could look scribbled.
• Layer different colours over one another to vary the number of colours you can create.
• Add as many gradients as you can to the balloon to make it look rounded/3D.
