Coloring Housemouse Critters – Copic, Airbrush, and Pencil

June 17, 2015 by Sandy Allnock 13 Comments Filed Under: Airbrush, Colored Pencils, Copic Advanced Tagged With: coloring birds, House Mouse, Prismacolor

It’s Copic tutorial time again here on the ol’ blog…and today I’m mixing it up a bit. And I wish I could say I’m singing along while coloring birds and mice, but ya know…nobody needs to hear that!

This little House Mouse stamp is just the cuuuuuuuutest! It makes me want to go find a nice remote place to go out and sing a tune of my own. Really remote though. LOL! In today’s video I’ll show you how to get extra detail by mixing your coloring media…

Fun, wasn’t that? I love that there are things like supersharp pencils that you can use to add in detail that gets lost as you color. Sometimes a pen works best, but Prismacolors can give you a softer look. It helps when you’re coloring birds or little mammals – a pen can make the detail a little TOO sharp.

But to get the pencil tip into nooks and crannies, it’s really sharp. As of 2018: I use the Quietsharp sharpener, not the one I had in college – they don’t make that one anymore.

    I love this. You are so truly talented Sandy! House Mouse stamps are just the cutest. They would make a great class (just saying), in Maryland, perhaps.
