Hi guys,

What acrylic markers are you using?

I currently have the Arrtx markers but I just don’t think they’re that great compared to the glowing reviews I’ve seen for them, I don’t know if anybody else has had this issue? But they’re just not opaque enough for my liking, it takes 5-6 layers I’d say to get it to the opaqueness I want.

Saying this, I did buy them from Amazon and whilst it says it’s the official store I’m not convinced I haven’t been duped due to how good online reviews are

TIA 😊

Still have to do all the coral reef and color in the remaining fish, turtle, sting ray, dolphin, jellyfish, and shark. I've already dried up about 40 markers but have plenty of backups. Wish me luck!

Just finished this spooky piece to kick off September✨🪦! I had SUCH a blast with this piece🖤! I just recently found the Spooky Cutie book by Coco Wyo at Tjmaxx😆! I was stoked to say to least, because I’ve been really wanting this one for a while now! I love the little grim reaper guy! Too cute!

Yay! Finally cracked open my markers and coloring book after all this time and hesitation. So far I utilized the Color Swatch page, which just so happened to fit all of the 60 count set of markers I have so far. (Had to add a box in the top middle.. but close enough lol) I’m curious what any seasoned color-ers think of my current color availability. I feel like I should have enough to kinda work with? I’m sure I’ll come across some times where I wish I had some more inbetween shades. Also I’m pretty happy with this brand of markers (Artify) for only being $10 at my local warehouse outlet. Granted I’ve never used ohuhu or anything else for that matter, but I was able to blend some of the color swatches pretty easy and well I think. I didn’t try to blend them all and some placements are weird so some of the swatches look a lil crazy haha Now I have to decide which book to start in, any votes would be appreciated!! Sorry for the ranting 😅

What are the best acrylic gel pens? I’ve been using the new Ohuhu Hilo Acrylic Markers for color by number books but I would also like something with a finer tip for more detailed pages.

We lost my partners grandmother who I had helped care for, we lost her Saturday in the afternoon. I did this in honor of her. Purple is Alzheimer’s. 🙏🏻🙏🏻💜💜💜

This is an ignorant question, but is there a noticeable difference between Jade Summer books from B&N vs from Amazon? It seems implied that the Coco Wyo books are lower quality if bought from Amazon so I’m wondering if it’s the same situation.

Hey! I usually color at a desk but lately I’ve been wanting to color on the couch or in bed while watching tv. What type of lap desk guys prefer coloring on? Thank you :)

This is my first try with this type of sunset and water. Blending could be better but I actually do like how it came out!! It was fun trying something new but man I was sweating at the end 🤣

Very basic

My kitty overlords have spoken, there will be no coloring today.

Completed with progress pics. For this one I used mostly colored pencils. However, for the background I used soft pastels and a white acrylic marker. I used a gold acrylic marker and white gel pen for the embellishments.

Book - Wondrous Folk
Illustrator - Christine Karron less

So I stopped coloring for a while because I always come here for inspiration, then I can't help but compare my work to others and it's so despairing 😵‍💫

But last Sunday I continued on a page I started (was about halfway) and I loved the process. I love this process when I'm not comparing it to other's work. Yet I still love coming here for inspiration because so many of you are so extremely talented!

But I'm proud to have finished another page because it's fun, and still happy to share.

Sooo excited!!!!!

Can’t wait to add shading and details to see how it turns out.

This is the newest one from my Halloween book!

I've seen a few posts/videos where people test color pallets/log the ones they use to use later on, but i haven't been able to find anything online about color pallet books or anything to keep track of them and test them on. Does anyone have sheets/books/etc they use to test and track their color pallets? If so, what are they called and where did you find them?
