Join me today to watch me colouring the Animorphia flamingo page in Kerby Rosanes’ Animorphia Postcard Colouring Book. Post includes video and Copic Colour Map along with a quick flip through video of the book.
Kerby Rosanes Colouring Books:
I’ve included Kerby Rosanes’ books in a few posts here so far. I’m definitely a fan of his work, and the colouring books are a lot of fun to work in.
Here are links to my previous posts featuring a couple of his other books:
- Colouring Book Therapy – Colouring Imagimorphia with Staedtler Ergosoft Part 1
- Colouring Book Therapy – Colouring Imagimorphia with Staedtler Ergosoft Part 2
- Colouring Book Therapy – Colouring Imagimorphia with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens
- Colouring Book Therapy – Doodle Invasion Colouring Book by Kerby Rosanes
Today I’m going to be sharing some colouring I’ve done in one of Kerby’s Animorphia colouring book editions UK Link* / US Link*.
With all the little doodle elements each page in one of Kerby’s books does take a bit of a time investment to complete. This is one of two reasons why I love the postcard editions and their smaller size, the other being that they are great for working in with my favourite medium: alcohol based markers! My experience colouring in this book was much like colouring in the Harry Potter postcard colouring book, which I shared last week: Harry Potter Colouring Book – Cornish Pixies using Copics.
Book Flip Through Video:
Here’s a quick flip through video of my copy of the Animorphia Postcard Colouring Book UK Link* / US Link*. Watch the video below or in HD over on YouTube.
As you can see, the Animorphia flamingo page I’m sharing today isn’t the first I have tackled in this book. I’ve completed one page and started working on another using coloured pencils. When I’ve finished working in the book I’ll do another flip through – that might not happen for a while though, looking at my To Be Coloured shelf. 😉
Animorphia Flamingo Postcard:
If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen a “work in progress” photo of this page already. Instagram is the best place to connect with me aside from this blog, as I am regularly posting there and checking out other people’s photos. Follow me over there and say “Hi” – I’d love to hear from you.
I had a lot of fun colouring this page. I love bringing Kerby’s artwork to life with lots of colour. I’ve seen lots of beautifully done interpretations from other colourists, particularly monochromatic colour schemes, but I always seem compelled to use lots of bright colour on these pages.

I coloured this page using Copic Markers UK link*/US link*. As you can see, they do of course bleed through to the back, but not so much that you couldn’t still use this as a postcard if you so wished. Personally, I’m not planning on sending these as postcards, so that doesn’t worry me at all.
CRAFTY IDEA: You could absolutely incorporate these postcards in a handmade card design, creating a border for them using paper crafting supplies. I may have to do this soon to create some fun cards for friends and family to enjoy.
When I had finished colouring the page using Copic Markers, I decided to add a couple of little touches using a combination of Copic atyou Spica glitter pens UK Link* / US Link* and a Sakura Gelly Roll pen in white UK Link* / US Link*. If you watch the video you will see me doing this to the little sprite and the yellow star. I showed this in Wednesday’s post too: Tammy Tutterow Colouring Page using Copics (w/video).
Animorphia Flamingo Colouring Video:
I filmed the colouring process so that you can watch how I tackled the page and perhaps pick up some ideas and tips for colouring your own version. You will find a complete list of the marker colours used on this page further down in this post.

Copic Colour Map:
I have put together a Copic Colour Map for you, showing the colours I used on the Animorphia flamingo page from the Animorphia Postcard Colouring Book UK Link* / US Link*. I haven’t labelled absolutely everything, because I tend to use the same colour combinations throughout, to give the image a consistent feel.

This project is just amazing! Your talent and your coloring are exceptional, and the final outcome is in a league of its own! Not once did I see you go outside the lines with those tiny images, and you shaded each and every one. I’m in awe. You should frame it!
Thank you so much Ruth, for your lovely comments! I think a little bit of ink did escape over the lines here and there, but overall it ended up looking pretty cool! 🙂
Your coloring is awesome!! I use pencils but still watch your videos! Great idea about framing the pics!
Thank you so much Debbie! 🙂 I’ll try and throw a few more pencil videos in here and there – when I’m pressed for time I always end up reaching for the markers though, they are just so much faster!
