Step 1: Sketch the Basic Outline

1. Shape the Scene:

   • Start by sketching the sofa: draw a wide rectangle for the seat, add rounded armrests, and curve the backrest.

   • Lightly sketch the sheep: a circular head, oval body, and small dangling legs on the edge of the sofa.

2. Add Details:

   • Draw the sheep's curly wool texture around the head and body.

   • Add a mug in the sheep's hands, tilted slightly for realism.

   • Sketch the rainbow blanket draped over the armrest and spilling onto the floor.

3. Facial Features and Accessories:

   • Add two small ears, eyes, a nose, and a gentle smile to the sheep's face.

   • Outline the steaming hot cocoa rising from the mug.

Step 2: Layer Base Colors

1. Sheep’s Wool:

   • Use light cream (#FFFDD0) as the base.

   • Add soft gray (#D3D3D3) in shadowed areas to create depth.

2. Face and Ears:

   • Apply beige (#F5D3C3) for the face and inner ears.

   • Use light pink (#FFC0CB) to add a rosy tint to the cheeks.

3. Sofa:

   • Color the sofa with soft pink (#FFC1CC).

   • Add shadows using darker pink (#FF69B4) at the edges and curves.

Step 3: Bring the Rainbow Blanket to Life

1. Color the Stripes:

   • Divide the blanket into bold horizontal stripes.

   • Color each stripe with vibrant rainbow hues: red (#FF4500), orange (#FFA500), yellow (#FFFF00), green (#32CD32), blue (#1E90FF), and purple (#9370DB).

2. Add Shading and Folds:

   • Use a darker shade of each color along the edges and creases to create a fabric-like texture.

   • Blend lightly to keep the transitions smooth.

Step 4: Focus on the Mug and Hot Cocoa

1. Mug:

   • Use bright red (#FF0000) for the mug to make it stand out.

   • Add a white highlight near the top to create a glossy effect.

2. Hot Cocoa:

   • Color the cocoa with rich brown (#8B4513).

   • Add light swirls of steam using gray (#B0C4DE).

Step 5: Add Sweater and Final Touches

1. Sheep’s Sweater:

   • Use bright green (#32CD32) for the sweater to complement the rainbow blanket.

   • Add shadows with forest green (#228B22) to emphasize the folds.

2. Details and Highlights:

   • Use white (#FFFFFF) to add highlights on the sofa, mug, and blanket for a polished look.

   • Add shadows beneath the sheep and blanket using soft gray (#A9A9A9) to ground the scene.
