Instructions

  1. Trace your hand using a pencil and don’t press too hard.
  2. Using the colour black begin drawing straight black lines starting at the bottom of the page moving upward.
  3. Begin drawing curved lines at the bottom of your arm going up to the top of your fingers.
  4. Choose 3 colours and colour between the black lines. Use a pattern with your colours to fill in your hand and the background. Repeat the pattern colours until you have coloured the whole page.
