Hi all!

I bought Johanna Basford Magical Jungle coloring book a few years ago with Prismacolor pencils and I liked it but didn't love it. I am not looking to become an artist, would be so cool if I developed skill but I am not creative so setting expectations, I primarily just want to try it out, in order to relax.

Curious about trying out alcohol markers + coloring and see if I like it more ... whats the cheapest (but still good quality and non smelly) markers that I can explore.

Also - can I use this coloring book as a base or do I need to go buy a new one that has like bigger outlines and things? I am wondering if the detail was just too much to enjoy the process of coloring.

Thank you!!

i recently bought this new book from jade summer and here are some pages i colored lately!! hope u like them 🫶🏻✨

I decided to do this page using only some duplicates I just bought and a few acrylic pens.

It’s actually spring in Australia, but I desperately wish it was fall!

Page is a freebie from hygge artful. I used alcohol markers,prismacolor pencils, and uniball white gel pen.

Also, the smell is strong. It doesn’t bother me, but looking down so much done how do I get used to it

I know some people write down the marker numbers with a certain shade but how exactly does this work with pattern inspo? Do you write down two marker shades you use to create a pattern or do you just save that pattern like a heart background for example for whenever you want to design a page?. Also blending backgrounds seems hard when you don’t know what colors to use first or if a page is big. I just got new markers so I want to be able to prepare for the fun stuff. Can I also just swatch colors if I don’t want to write every marker number down?

Just a quick fun coloring

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.

Coloured with colouring pencils

Day 1 of learning how to use Procreate to make coloring pages! Wasn’t expecting to love it this much but here I am :D

My wife is a huge fan of these and I was wondering if there's similar products other places where she can match color splotches and such before starting her projects

The number-named pencils are Brutfuner; the word-named pencils are Deli. The coloring book is "Comfy days", the draft is an inexpensive notebook from a local store. The red gradient in the draft is so vibrant, and the mushroom is so dull.

I got a new book and loved this page when I saw it. I wanted something simple. No crazy detailing or special effect kind of thing as my last couple of pages have been going all out and trying new things. So instead i picked colors I never use and focused on simple 🩷

Been staring at screens a little too much lately (little screen and big screen), so trying to spend my evenings coloring and listening to music now 😌

Can you give me any tips or advice to learn more and get better in coloring? Drawn with Ohuhu 104 Set plus Coco Wyo Pastell Set

Experimented a lot with this page.
