After coloring Dumbo with a glow effect, I was excited to color Donald and Daisy with a neon effect. What a fun technique! And so much easier than I expected. Affiliate links below.
Like Dumbo, Donald and Daisy came from the Disneyland Parks Colouring Book. I cut down the image to a 7" square. I got out my black Ohuhu Honolulu...
... and colored the background black, making sure i could still easily see the lines of the coloring page.
Then I traced the lines of the characters using Ohuhu Nahukus.
The next step was adding a really thin line of white over the center of each of the colored areas. It didn't end up perfect, but no matter. When that was dry, I used my Ohuhu Halawas to add a soft glow around the edges of each line, then colored right up to that glow with black. I worked on one section at a time.
In retrospect, I wish I'd used the black Honolulu or a black Kaala to color the background. It would have been easier and faster than the colored pencil. Not to mention, my black Halawa is now half the size of the rest of the set.
I love how this turned out! And like I said, it was a lot of fun. I will definitely be doing this again.
