Opt for colored pencils or fine-tip alcohol markers for this design—pencils work best for blending smooth gradients, while markers create bold, defined color blocks. Try a calming palette of soft blues, lavender, and sage green for a serene vibe, or warm terracotta, mustard, and coral for an energetic feel. Use layering techniques to build depth in denser line areas, and white gel pens to highlight small negative space shapes for added contrast. For a creative twist, add metallic gold or silver accents to select lines to elevate the abstract pattern with a touch of elegance.
