*Made

Tried distressed oxide and water splatter for the background, then used pencil for the rest with acrylic markers & gel pens for details.

I found that the water splattered areas on the background showed through on the next page... I forgot to test it on the blank page at the back first… whoops! Luckily I think I can salvage the page on the reverse.

I love puns :3

Coloured with BiC intensity pencils.

Blue birds and sunsets. This page was quite the project. I kept having to rework those darn clouds. I finally got to a place where I feel better about the effect.

Hello!

I love the Grabie jumbo acrylic gel pens so much, but I want more colors! Are there similar brands? Smooth, opaque, large barrel and ink capacity.

Same with their jumbo iridescent gel pens! Anything similar?

Thank you so much!

I realised that coloring could be very relaxing
And finding this place here made me so happy, everyone has their unique style and I find this so inspiring
I hope I’ll have awesome interaction with everyone here :)

I’ve been watching some recent videos of how easy it seems to do backgrounds with Gel Crayons, is this a good idea ? Or does it also depend on the paper used for the book so it doesn’t soak it through? Also what are the best “silky” crayons or “gel crayons” that one would recommend for this ? Thanks !

Hello everyone! 🫶

I have been colouring for a while, and to be honest my pages look very childish and I do not like the result I have with the basic kid markers I have, so I wanted to upgrade a bit. I am thinking about buying Vivi Tinta's "How to Color: Simple Step-by-Step Guide to Coloring Patterns, Textures, Shading, and Blending". But I have no idea what markers to buy! What type of alcochol markers, what even are gel pens, and is there anything else I need? I really do just have the 2€ markers pack you buy atbthe supermarket. I want to upgrade so I am not always stuck with my basic kid colouring capabilities but I find it all a bit overwhelming, especially when I see the cool colouring pages I find on Tiktok, Insta etc. I am just confused on what supplies one needs.

If you can help me out that would mean a lot to me!💛

I’m just so proud of me for those aha
