In this coloring page, Cinderella is forlornly looking out her window with a lonely yet determined expression. Her stepmother's rigid rule has kept her estranged from the life of joy and companionship she once knew. But rather than despair, a few curious creatures have crept into her heart. The mice near her feet and birds perched atop her windowsill are the only ones who have kept her company through these lonely years.
To bring this image to life, I recommend beginning with faint, neutral shades. The dominant color used should be a light, dusky hue, as if the world outside her window is a mysterious, unfamiliar place. Cinderella's dress should remain a traditional blue, as blue represents a symbol of hope in this story. Body and face features should be drawn in a muted yellow, to represent the sunny moments of joy she experiences in the presence of her animal companions. The mice and birds can be decorated in bright, warm colors of red, orange, and yellow for contrast. To give her overall demeanor an air of solemnity, try adding a darkened frame around Cinderella to emphasize her lightless existence.
