Whooodunnit? Sherlock Holmes Owl Coloring Page

When we first started this Coloring Challenge group, the Coloring Tribe, and I was reading over the list and saw October’s theme was an owl coloring page.

Owls.

Naturally, being the very “punny” person that I am, I could not get “Whooodunnit” out of my head. I was sure that after 9 months of coloring pages I would have come up with another wonderful idea, but it just did not want to get over a whodunnit theme. The idea was just so fun and cute and quirky in my head.

So I put it to paper.

I am very happy with how this owl coloring page came out. My coloring page style seems pretty consistent across the board, but I think this one shows my silly side a little bit more. Puns are my life. In fact, I cannot go one day without using multiple puns and it drives my husband crazy! So here is a little piece of my punny personality…in owl coloring page form.

Whooodunnit? Owl Coloring Page

This owl coloring page was fun. Rarely do I use all markers, but I pretty much used all markers–different types:

Copic Markers

Stabilo Point 88 Pens

Prismacolor Premier Markers

General’s White Charcoal Pencil

 


 
The Copic markers were great for adding shading to the marker coloring. I used their skin tone markers. For finer points and some more detail I used the Stabilo pens because they are very thin. The Prismacolor markers gave a lovely matte finish to the grassy area and the charcoal pencil really made it pop when I used it to add highlighting.

I love the patterns on the owl and loved shading on the feathers.

The mouse’s fur has great texture from the thin markers and white charcoal. He just had to have “well-groomed whiskers.”
