Day 4. Pencil Accents So Easy

Hello Friends! I am back. How is your week going?

Today I have a super quick post. I added pencil highlights to my copic coloring. Such a fun way to jazz up what you are doing EASILY! With a sharp tip of course.

The stamps are from Ink Blog Shop and I love coloring them up. Love adding rosy cheeks too. In this photo … on the head my copic coloring is complete and I am ready to add that jazz with pencils.

Such a difference right? You can check out my super quick video here. Please notice that I hover the pencil in the top left corner and never enter the center because I want to add a highlight only. The pressure is very light with the pencil.

The ink is Gina K. Designs. yum!

    Indeed a great differnce, always great to see.
    Using pencil is sometimes also easier to add something to your colouring when colouring with an other kind of medium.
    Thank you for today and see you tomorrow, happy colouring.

      I agree, Henriette! Isn’t it wonderful to be able to “meet” people from across the pond with the same interests? Grateful for you 🙂

    This is so cool! I love how you did his hair! The shadow that looks yellow in the red hair is great! I would love to know how to do that! Great job as usual & I loved the colors you used.
