Using a Reverse Mask to Color Line Images

Step 1: Stamp image twice on post it notes or scratch paper.










Step 2: Cut out different parts of each image on the post it notes.












Step 3: Stamp image on your "final project."

Step 4: Cover the "final project" with one of the post-it notes with one part of the image cut out. Using a sponge texture tool, sponge ink on the exposed portion of the image. Remove the post it note.








Step 5: Repeat step 4 for all portions of the image you've cut out. And your final image will be colored perfectly and have a soft "stuffed animal" look.
