Laundry is usually a chore, but on a coloring page? Kinda cute.
This Laundry Corner scene from Girl Moments Vol. 3 puts a cute spin on laundry day with warm colors and tiny everyday details. We broke the palette down by each part of the page, so you can use it as a guide for your own version.
Character & Little Friends
Waiting for the laundry to finish can feel like a small break in the day. For this part of the page, picture what you might wear for a quick laundry run: a favorite jacket, a comfy skirt, easy shoes, and a bag with little charms.
Pull colors from an outfit you already love, then repeat one or two shades in the smaller details to bring everything together.
Waiting Corner
While she takes that little break, keep the waiting corner simple and familiar. Let the plaid seat bring in the main color, then use softer shades for the basket and plant.
For an easy way to draw plaid, start with a simple grid and add wider stripes or a second color.
Wash & Dry Area
From the waiting corner, move over to the wash and dry area, where the larger shapes can carry the stronger colors.
Keep the machine and laundry supplies in similar tones, then add a brighter detail inside the door.
Tip: Color everything inside the washer first. Once it’s dry, add a few curved lines and small highlights with a white gel pen to make the door look like glass.
Room Background
Now for the part that pulls the whole room together. Bring a few colors from the girl, seat, and washer into the walls, floor, window, and sign, then keep the outdoor view light and fresh.
Tip: Color the view outside the window first, then let it dry. After that, use a white gel pen to add a few soft lines or tiny highlights on the glass to give the window a light, shiny look.
Girl Moments Vol. 3
Once the room is all colored in, Laundry Corner feels like one of those small everyday memories you might look back on. It’s one of many familiar moments in Girl Moments Vol. 3, alongside cozy corners, simple hobbies, favorite things, and time with friends or family.
You’ll also spot nostalgic details like flip phones, cassettes, and vinyl records, bringing little throwbacks from the 70s, 80s, 90s, early 2000s, and Y2K days.
FAQs
How do I make the character stand out from the background?
Keep the background in soft grayscale and use full color for the character. For an extra sticker effect, leave a thin white outline around the character to help it pop even more.
What coloring challenges can I try with this page?
A few fun coloring challenge ideas include Color Split, Rainbow Blocking, Monochromatic Coloring, and Grayscale with a Pop of Color. Each one gives the page a completely different look without changing the original artwork.
How can I make it look like sunlight is coming through the window?
For simple light effects, choose where the sunlight is coming from first. Keep the areas near the window lighter, add soft shadows on the opposite side of objects, and use pale yellow or cream where the light falls.
Can I use colored pencils instead?
Yes. Colored pencils are a good choice for adding texture, soft shadows, and small details. You can also layer them over markers once the ink is dry.
