Step 2: Crayon Colouring: Grab your Wax Crayons and start colouring within the outlines. Make sure to apply a heavy layer of crayon, extending it right up to the edge of the black outlines. Ensure that no paper is visible through the crayon layer. Be cautious not to go over the chalk lines. Get creative by blending different colours together to add depth and dimension to your artwork.

Step 3: Applying Dye: Time to add the dramatic flair! Take your soft brush or sponge and gently wash the dye over your artwork. Notice how the crayon lines resist the dye, forming outlines for the areas covered in crayon. Some dye will also cling to the crayon, enhancing the character of the image. If you find excessive dye on the crayon, simply dab it away using a paper towel to maintain the desired effect.

TIP: Keep it very simple. Simple, bold designs work best.
