Pre-Coloring Setup
The Coloring Tools We Used
We used Ohuhu alcohol markers for the main colors and soft shading, then added small highlights with a white gel pen. The white gel pen is helpful for tiny details like cup shine, coffee foam, menu marks, and little glowing spots.Β
Setup Before ColoringΒ
Before you start, decide how you'd like to use the palette. If you're coloring digitally, you can follow the HEX codes directly on your tablet or iPad. Β
And for coloring on paper, try printing the digital color sheet at the end of this blog and swatching similar marker shades next to each color block to find the closest match before you begin.
Marker caps can be super deceiving, so swatching helps you see exactly how the colors dry before you start and avoid hard-to-fix color surprises later.
Tip: Alcohol markers can bleed through pages, so slip a plastic sheet or thick cardstock right behind your coloring page to protect the rest of your book.Β
Coloring Techniques Used
These are a few coloring techniques we used while working on this page. They are simple, beginner-friendly, and easy to try on your own pages too.
Shading & ShadowsΒ
Most of the alcohol marker shading was added around the edges and underneath objects, just enough to give the page a little more depth.Β
Glow EffectΒ
A subtle glow effect can be achieved by layering lighter shades around objects that give off light, such as lamps or candles.Β
White Gel Pen HighlightsΒ
The white gel pen was saved for the end. Small highlights on cups, glass, pastries, and lights helped bring some of the cozy details to life.Β
Main Color Palette
To make the page easier to follow, we broke the colors down by area.Β
Each zone includes the main colors used for that part of the page, from the character and coffee corner to the counter, menu, pastries, and little cafe details. You can follow the exact palette or use it as a starting point with similar colors you already have.

Yes. If you enjoy the cozy everyday scenes in Girl Moments Vol. 1, you may also like Girl Moments Vol. 2. It includes more gentle pages with journaling corners, quiet mornings, sweet treats, cozy kitchens, and small moments that feel relaxing to color.
Can I mix coloring tools together?
Yes. Many coloring tools for beginners can be mixed on the same page. For example, you might use alcohol markers for smooth base colors, then add acrylic markers for small patterns, dots, or decorative accents. It's a fun way to experiment and find what works best for your coloring style.
Is it okay to use different colors than the reference palette?
Absolutely. Color palettes are meant to inspire, not limit you. Feel free to swap colors and adjust the palette to match your personal style.
What types of glow effect coloring pages can I try?
There are many types of glow effect coloring pages to explore. Some popular examples include streetlight glow, TV or screen glow, cozy night lights, reading lamp glow, character glow effects, and magical object glow scenes. Each one uses light a little differently, making them fun ways to practice coloring light and shadows.
When should I use a white gel pen?
A white gel pen works best after your marker ink has dried. Use it for small highlights on cups, glass, eyes, lights, and other shiny details.
How do I blend alcohol markers more smoothly?
To blend alcohol markers more smoothly, work while the ink is still slightly wet. Color with your lighter shade first, then add the darker color and go back over the edge with the lighter marker to soften the transition.
