Build tips

• For the Self-Deprecating Bear Lantern design, set the outer silhouette and the most recognizable feature first, then fill the larger color areas around it.
• Sort the 13 labeled colors before starting; keeping similar shades separate makes the smaller changes easier to read.
• Keep the 30 × 30 chart nearby and compare each completed row before moving on.
