Tips For Coloring Plague Doctor
What colors should I use for a Plague Doctor coloring page?
Plague Doctors were usually seen wearing a distinctive costume, which was designed to protect them from airborne diseases. The costume’s main color was generally black or dark grey to hide stains and marks. They also wore a beak-like mask that was often white or off-white, and red or golden eyes. Furthermore, they carried a long cane, usually depicted in brown.
How can I add more detail and realism to my Plague Doctor coloring?
To achieve a more realistic appearance, start with lighter shades and gradually add darker shades for depth and shadowing, especially around the folds of the robe. You can also add texture to the fabric of the gown and hat. The beak-like mask was filled with herbs and spices, so you may consider adding some small illustrations of herbs around the mask area for added interest.
Are there any remarkable features of the Plague Doctor I should pay attention to while coloring?
Definitely, the Plague Doctor’s outfit had several unique features. The mask was particularly characterized by its long beak, red or golden eyes, and was made of leather or metal. The gown was made of waxed fabric covering the whole body, including the gloves. The hat indicative of a doctor, a wooden cane was used to interact with patients without touching them. Paying attention to this detail while coloring can make your page more historically accurate.
Can you provide some interesting facts about Plague Doctors that I could incorporate into my art?
Plague Doctors were employed in the 17th century, primarily during the time of the Black Death in Europe. The beak-like mask they wore was filled with aromatic items to combat the bad smell which was believed to carry the disease. They were not usually experienced physicians but were given this role as a civic duty. They carried a cane to examine patients without directly touching them. Incorporating these elements can add storytelling to your artwork.
