Coloring Tutorials // Holographic Fill Effect

July 6, 2025 by Ajey

Want to add a holographic fill to your coloring masterpieces?? I’m ya girl. Watch and learn. ♥

Choose your weapons:

  • Alcohol markers — any brand will do. Use all the things.
  • Paper that is bleedproof or at least marker friendly.
  • Lineart. (Yours or mine ;*)
  • Scrap sheet of the same paper as your lineart.

    But why? Because I said so. Trust me — you’ll appreciate this step later. This is our swatch page and testing zone. It helps us judge how many layers we can apply before we overwork or bleed through our “canvas.” It’s also great for practicing effects.

Alright so gather the things and let’s get to it. Look at your image that will be getting the fill and try to imagine it filled in. Where is your light source? Where’s the highlighted areas? I recommend trying this on that scrap paper before committing this early on.


After figuring out where your highest points of your object are ;] you will be making some shapes to follow what you think it would look like if you light was shining off of it.
