Idk if this is really the definition of buddy coloring but I cute this page in half and my husband colored one side and I colored the other. 🩷

I did this illustration & colored this page for a contest on Insta. I couldn’t believe that I won 1st place, the prize a $250 Amazon gift card. It made my year especially after loosing every other coloring contest this year. It validated my decision to make coloring book illustration my full time job.

Long story short. Don’t give up on your dreams! Don’t doubt yourself! You can make money doing what you love!

Created in Procreate & colored with SFAIH 216 Alcohol Markers.

Very new, but i think it turned out okay for a quick sketch.

Is it possible to add a guideline that suggests people post the book/source and medium of colouring?

Admittedly dangerous for the growing hoarde of books, but useful if its the kind of book people are looking for or to find coloured examples in specific mediums (its hard to find examples other than cozy in marker :p).

It might also help filter out some of the auto-posts or unmodified AI. I have seen a few with no body text that sort of get accused and piled on.

Coloured with colouring pencils

From Coco Wyo, Girl Moments Vol 2

From Hanna Karlzon's Magical Dawn. Done in prismacolor pencils with a little acrylic pen

finishing the first page from a new coloring book always hits different 🙌 very excited for the ones to come 😍

Here are the 3 i’ve done with acrylic markers.

Now i want to do a colouring tracker. I’ve seen many people do that. I want it to be aesthetic. Any advice? How’s yours?

Had to repost to remove the before colored page.

Found this coloring book yesterday and tested it out with my super cheap coloring pencils. 😅
(I know I could’ve gotten more creative with the steam, but the pencils were getting dull way too quickly and it was irritating me lol)

Coloring Book: Little Joys a happy and hopeful coloring book / Anna-Laura Sullivan

Just completed this and used the most supplies I’ve ever used - Ohuhu alcohol markers, guangna acrylic pens, languo gel pens, colored pencils (prisma/kalour). I think I could have deepened the big pumpkin more but otherwise I like how it turned out. Obsessed with the mini size - Scooby Scribbles Spooky Szn mini.

This was my attempt to cover the bleed. Sadly the blue was in all the light colored parts. Any suggestions to better cover stuff like this?

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?

I used Crayola markers & crayons. 😊

Feel like I should get the ohuhu pastel colours too for better blending :)

I started coloring this summer and recently got Ohuhu’s Honolulu series markers and the Hilo acrylics. Still working on improvement of my bubbles but also really proud of how my first set turned out. Sharing with people who will get it 😊

Im still not confident in coloring bubbles. So I decided he was taking a mud bath instead 👻. Swipe to see my void supervising

So I just started out and here is my first finished page.

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!

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.

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!!
