You really did an excellent job on this. I’ve likewise been “commissioned” by a couple of friends to do a Seuss nursery mural, though mine will likely not be as whole-room-intensive… an idea I like but because of time probably am not willing to see through. I have a question regarding materials though: What is the black ink you used for the outlining? I’ve seen this same glossy stuff used before on murals (and like it a lot) but have no idea what it is/where to get it.
Thanks,
Gabe
Thanks, Gabe. The ink we used was “Pilot – super color marker refill ink.” It’s actually refill ink for markers : ) We ordered it online (don’t remember where, though). Then we just dipped a thin paintbrush in the ink. It dries very quickly, but has a really think, deep color.
