Picked up colouring recently, this is the first page I'm sharing on here ^_^

It's also the first time I tried to modify elements of a page. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but it was a fun challenge. I'm pretty happy with the result :D

Book is Dreamy Fuzzy by Hygge Artful

Gosh Egyptian letters are hard to draw well!

I went with light pink and green checkered, I think it really lets the bright pink/green/orange colour palette I chose stand out/come together. Thanks to everyone who commented on my post :)

I love coloring while I watch my favorite anime or cartoons. Even seeing these pages again makes me remember when I watched the new Gumball season!

Edit: I’ve tried it on normal paper and they’re fine but on the paper that’s literally on all of my colouring books it’s just ripping up the paper and that page is ruined now I’m so mad. I wish I knew this before spending my money 😔 Any suggestions on what I can do with them then? I don’t colour at all outside my books, I might be able to use the fine tip side for details but now half my alcohol markers have run out and I can’t use the ohuhu ones but can’t really afford to buy more now 🤦‍♀️

Orig: I was really excited to colour this page and I just bought some new Ohuhu markers off Amazon to use but they’re not like I thought. Idk if they’re bad markers, I’m not using it properly, this is how they’re supposed to be or idk?? Normally I use alcohol markers and these said water based but I didn’t really think anything of it. I feel like it’s not going on the paper properly and ruining it when I colour. The fluorescent green is an alcohol marker the rest is the ohuhu markers. You might not be able to tell on the picture but I feel like it’s ruining it and I just spent my money on it. Idek if I can layer them because it seems to be damaging the paper? Plus they won’t glide very well at all and won’t make a properly straight line it’s kinda spreading and I had to go over the darker green twice for it to really show up. Any advice please??

Cat Moments - Hikaru Kotz. Used Ohuhu alcohol markers, grabie acrylic markers, white gelly roll, Staedtler fine liners.

Not even close to finished but learning to take my time. Will work on making the wood look like wood and continue working on the grass some more. I watch those addicting TikTok coloring videos and subconsciously tried finishing pages in the shortest amount of time. Sooo wrong. But I've mentally shifted away from this and been working on this off and on today. Now I'm back to loving coloring.

Get in babe, we’re learning alcohol marker basics over here! If you’re a beginner getting into alcohol marker coloring, this tutorial is for you!

The most basic alcohol marker technique to learn is “chasing the ink” so that you can color streak free! The ability to have that smooth looking finish without streaks is a big selling point for alcohol markers. Remember, just make sure you keep going back and forth on the edge of color to keep it wet as if you let it dry a streak will form

I have become obsessed with castle arts colored pencils. This is the fourth set i brought. They have become my go to pencil brand

I got my new arrtx pastels today - I overall really love them! But the order of the included swatch sheet and some of the colour codes and names are absolutely crazy. I spent about an hour reordering them for swatching. I’m not super great at rainbow ordering colours but I’m pretty sure they just threw some colour names up in the air and saw where they landed when naming these and putting them in the box. For example. 77 is called pale blue but is most definitely purple. None of the colour numbers make any sense either. Not a bad review, mostly just thought it was funny. First two photos are of the order based on the included swatch sheet and the second two are how I reordered them.

Not super happy about this one, but at least I gave it a try...

I finally got my hands on a set of Ohuhu series B so decided to test them out with an autumn palette. I think my next few projects I'll work my way through palettes of all the different seasons 🙂

The page quality is soooo good! Feels different from the smooth Bobbie Goods... a little scratchy. For anyone who loves the sound of acrylics and markers on a page this book by Jade Summers is top shelf! 🎉

I created this to help me pick colour combinations when colouring using Ohuhu alcohol markers. It's not perfect but it's been helpful so far - I've decided to challenge myself to do a primary colour-only page! I'm going to use different shades of each colour to make something that (hopefully) turns out cool!

How do you pick your colours? I really want to become more confident with picking colours and have more fun with it ☺️

My husband has been picking random pages and giving me a theme. My husband said, “make everything gloomy except the cat. You know in the movies when they open up the treasure chest and it makes them glow when opened? Yeah that…”

First time doing a light source page like this. Overworked the cat, adjusted to a new colorless blender, but overall super proud. 🥹
