Easy colored pencil shading

May 22, 2019 by Sandy Allnock 6 Comments Filed Under: Colored Pencils

These 3 little toucans in the Catherine Pooler set are such good and encouraging buddies – they needed to sit on one big long branch! Coloring them up with my Prismacolors was so relaxing and easy!

The Prismacolor Pencil hues I used…..

All it took to make that happen was to use sticky notes to mask off the ends of each bird’s branch – sometimes the leaves if that was easy – then stamp flowers and leaves in the middle. I used a black pen to draw in any areas that didn’t meet up.
