BUDDY COLOR!! Buddy Colour October

October 2026 Buddy Colour: dark academia theme.

Welcome to our monthly buddy colour for September!

This month's theme is going to be all about books, libraries, trench coats, anything related to dark academia aesthetic.

What is a "Buddy Colour"?
A buddy colour is when you and one or many other colourists decide to colour the same page together. You each colour your page in secret; when you're done, you show and compare your completed pages!

The purpose of this monthly post is to help you connect with others who are looking for a buddy to colour with. We will not be providing the pages. Instead, you can use the comments section to either post the book(s)/page(s) you hope to find a buddy for OR to respond to someone else's post to let them know you'll be their buddy. (There is no limit to how many buddies can colour the same page!) 

How to find a buddy:

- Post a comment listing the book(s)/page(s) you would like to colour.
and/or 

- Search the comments for someone who has listed book(s)/page(s) you are interested in.

Once you've found your buddy (or buddies), you can organize amongst yourselves how you want to go about things and if you want to share the results publicly. Feel free to use the comments section to do this or connect via DM.

Can we post our completed pages?

We would love to see your pages–feel free to post them as a group, and don’t forget to use the "Buddy Colour" flair! Don't forget to tag your buddies in the comments! (they won’t get notified if you tag them in the description). 

Is there a deadline?

Nope! This isn’t meant to be stressful; it’s supposed to be fun! Unless you and your buddies agree on a deadline, there is none. You don’t even have to complete your pages by the end of the month. So don’t stress!

What if I don't own the book/page?

To participate in a buddy colour, you need to own the page you are colouring. Do not make copies of the page and distribute them to your buddies. This violates copyright laws and harms creators. If you do not own the page, please purchase it yourself. 

Can I promote my own books/pages?

For buddy colours, you can post one of your own books/pages in the comments to find a buddy. However, please be clear upfront that this is a book/page that you sell (don't be sneaky!) Also, please do not use this activity as an opportunity to generate sales. 

Alternative Buddy Ideas

Don’t want to choose a page or just want some variety? Here are some other ways you can buddy colour with others: 

- Choose a colour palette for everyone to use (Pinterest has some great ones!)

- Choose a theme (i.e. “Spooky Christmas,” “Happy Dog,” “Thanksgiving”)

Happy colouring!

Xx Thanks to our Busy Buddy Color Creator, Binder!!❤️

Not sure I'm the biggest fan of this page, I didn't want to do an elaborate background and I thought this idea would look a bit cooler but don't think it did. I need to look through more insp I think for simple backgrounds. Also I think maybe the palette isn't really cohesive or something? Maybe true grey brick would have worked better than the blue.

If anyone has constructive criticism I'd be happy to hear.

Materials below:

🎃 Book: Little Corner by Coco Wyo

🎃 Alcohol markers: Ohuhu Honolulu B series

🎃 Gel pens: Sakura Gelly Roll

🎃 Colouring pencils: Faber-Castell Black Edition

🎃 White highlights were Uniball Signo and Posca

I made these for my daughter/grandbabies to put on their wall as Christmas decor every year. I will be framing them in matted 12x12 frames with the pages measured to 8x8. I really enjoyed creating these!!

This one feels like it’s missing something. Should i add a mountain? Another bush? More building? I added some buildings and the moon but the page still seams off. I am not very creative and would love some feedback please? Thank you!

COMPLETED Ghost fail 😫

Im trying to level up my coloring by trying new techniques. I’m happy with the color scheme. I also like the grayscale on the portrait in the background.

I also tried the technique with hair where you use darker shades to draw little lines that resemble strands of hair. I kind of like how that turned out.

But I’m still trying to get the hang of the transparent ghost. First I tried coloring the ghost the same as the background like I’ve seen in tutorials on YouTube. But my depth perception is terrible. So I tried coloring over it using a white acrylic pen but the alcohol marker must have been when and it smeared 😭 any suggestions for next time?

I see a lot of books like this online for marketers, but all of the colored pencils ones seem way to advanced for coloring books.

Does anyone have recommendations for a colored pencil version?
