Use What You Learn: Color a Feathery Rooster with Copic Marker & Colored Pencil
You don’t need a new Copic Marker or colored pencil class for everything you want to color. Good techniques add up! Color a realistic rooster using concepts from an intermediate Vanilla Arts class on bird anatomy plus an advanced class on feather pencil techniques. Combine your classes for amazing realism.
Color Amazing Projects Without a Specialized Class
It would be impossible to create a Copic Marker or colored pencil class for everything everyone wants to color.
Even if I devoted all my time to producing classes, 24 hours a day, non-stop, I still couldn’t teach a specific class on everything you want to learn to color.
The good news is that you don’t need a dedicated class to color this proudly strutting rooster.
You can use techniques borrowed from other Vanilla Arts classes to color realistic birds
You can color this rooster, your own chicken drawing, or any other bird stamp you encounter.
Good technique isn’t just good for one project.
Good technique is good for a lifetime of coloring!
Borrow & Combine Techniques to Create Original Coloring Projects
Make the most out of every coloring class you take!
To color this realistic line art with Copic and colored pencils, I used techniques from two Vanilla Arts classes:
Red Bird + Daisy Duckling = the king of the coop, Chanticleer the rooster
In the Red Bird online workshop, students learn the basic parts of bird anatomy to begin coloring any species of bird with greater realism. Birds are not just balls of fluff; once you understand the parts, your birds will look more bird-like.
In the Daisy Duckling online workshop, we explore how to use colored pencils to create accurate and realistic feathers and soft fluffy down techniques. Learn to add texture with confidence, creating the realism and artistry you’ve always dreamed of.
Chanticleer is an original artistic coloring kit from Amy Shulke here at VanillaArts.com. Amy’s stamps are open spaces with no texture marks, allowing your technique and skill to shine. Perfect for Copic Markers, colored pencil, or watercolor.
