How to Add Color When Drawing a Cartoon Character

We are going to move on now with our character and we are going to add some color to this guy over here. I have picked an orange crayon that I am going to use to color his face. Now I am just doing little streaks back in forth and really not filling it in completely solid but I am just giving the idea that his face does in fact have some color. Again as you see I am not filling it in completely solid, I am just doing little streaks again just to give the idea. I want to give this dude some brown hair so I have decided to take a brown crayon and again the same way I colored his face, arms, any area of his skin doing the same thing with the hair as you can see. His sneakers can be green, we have got green sneakers. And there you have it a cool dude.
