Coloring ideas for William Shakespeare

When coloring William Shakespeare, have fun with his classic Renaissance look! His hair was dark brown, and he wore a short mustache and a small pointed beard. His doublet (jacket) can be colored rich shades like deep green, burgundy, or dark blue, with gold or brown belts and accents. His puffed shorts and shoes can be dark tones like brown or black, with shiny silver or gold buckles. If you see a stage with curtains, use bright reds, purples, or golds to create a lively theater atmosphere. Adding a sunny sky or a cheering crowd in the background can make your scene even more dramatic and fun!
