Acquaintance with the symbol of 2022
The upcoming year 2022 according to the Eastern calendar will be held under the auspices of the Blue Water Tiger - an animal distinguished by artistry, good learning ability and possessing sufficient luck. In general, the year will be successful for everyone, albeit very dynamic.
Of course, for children, the promises of horoscopes will not be as interesting as the story of the striped cats themselves. For example, there are six types of tigers in nature: Bengal, Indo-Chinese, Amur, Chinese, Sumatran and Malay. Between themselves, they differ not only in the habitat and color of the skin. It can range from red-brown or orange-red to white-gray, but always with a recognizable pattern of black stripes.
The tiger is well known to kids as a frequent cartoon character: Sherkhan from Mowgli, Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, Teague from Tig and Leo and many others. Interestingly, what species does each of them belong to? You can reflect on this with your child by coloring their pictures.

- markers and felt-tip pens - give bright and saturated colors, but if the layers of strokes intersect, the drawing will not turn out neat;
- watercolor colored pencils - have the advantages of ordinary pencils and watercolors, the only negative is the high price;
- watercolor paints - in order to paint with them, you need to print children's coloring pages on thick enough paper;
- gel pens - in addition to bright colors, they can have various effects (metallic, sparkles) that will make the image unusual;

Interesting techniques and tips from artists
Coloring is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. There are secrets here too. Here is some of them:
- Before starting to fill in the paths with color, the felt-tip pen and gel pen should be tried on a piece of similar paper to see how the strokes fall and to make sure that the paint does not flow.
- When coloring a drawing of a tiger with pencils, you can use the frottage technique. A relief surface should be placed under a sheet of paper, which, for example, will imitate the hairs on the animal's fur. This will make the image more voluminous.
- White details can also be drawn with colored pencils. To do this, put tracing paper on the drawing, push through those places that should remain white with a pencil.After that, the tracing paper is removed and carefully passed with a slate at an angle so that the pressed places remain white.
- To paint large areas without stacking multiple layers on top of each other, you can simply warm up the lead. This will soften the binder in the pencil and make it more durable and bright.
- Due to the fact that the colors in markers and felt-tip pens hardly mix, they are best used for abstract or cartoon coloring.
When, in the pre-New Year's bustle, you want to catch your breath a little, you should get felt-tip pencils and coloring books. Such a creative time-out will help you collect your thoughts and charge you with positive.
