4 Ways to Color a Bikini
Summer is just around the corner, and what better way to get into the sunny mood than by styling up our favorite beachwear? Today, we are super excited to share 4 creative ways to color a bikini, featuring some absolutely adorable illustrations from Daisy Pop. Let’s grab our coloring tools and dive right into these fabulous styles!
Style 1: Retro Charm – Sea Glass Blue Color with White Polka Dots
Nothing says “classic beach babe” quite like polka dots! For this first style, we are going for a timeless vintage look.
How to achieve it: Color the main body of the bikini with BG12, then add the shading with BG215 and a highlight blender. Finish with a tiny flower pattern like polka dots using a white acrylic marker.
Style 2: Sweet & Playful – Blue Gingham with Cherry Accents
If you love everything cute and cottagecore, this pattern is made just for you! It combines a sweet checkerboard texture with delicious little fruits.
How to achieve it: Use a light pastel blue B07 or turquoise to color the gingham (caro) pattern. Then, add cherry details with an acrylic marker pen (green and red colors). Next, add the shading with BV38 and a highlight blender. To finish, add the outlines and stitches.
Style 3: Trendy & Graphic – Pink and Green Stripes
Ready to make a bold fashion statement? This style is all about high contrast, modern color blocks, and cool branding!
How to achieve it: First, color the base with YR01, then add your stripes with a candy pink RV09 and a refreshing mint or lime green G312. Add shading using RV09 and create the logo with a blue acrylic marker pen. To finish, add outlines (pink acrylic marker color), soft highlights, and lace details with an acrylic pen.
Style 4: Fierce & Fashionable – Wild Leopard Print
For the ultimate fashionistas who love to stand out in the crowd, let’s unleash your inner wild side with an exotic animal print!
How to achieve it: Use V14 as the base layer for the bikini fabric. Add soft leopard spots with V09. Finish the leopard patterns and add shading with V214. Lastly, add outlines and chain details with a purple acrylic marker pen.
