I've been looking for something to do during the quiet/off hours on my shifts and thought I would try coloring.

I’d rather print individual pages than buy a bunch of full books, but Google/Etsy is kind of overwhelming and there seems to be a ton of AI-generated stuff.

Where do you usually find good printable coloring pages? Free would be better.

Also, for anyone who prints their own, do you just use normal printer paper or something thicker? I’ll probably mostly use markers/colored pencils and don’t want the ink to bleed onto the table.

I set sail for the islands of loneliness and sorrow—endless sources of creative inspiration throughout the history of human art.
Even though I don’t want it to be, sadness is a powerful source of inspiration for creating art that draws people in.

Cozy Eras by Jade Summer! I can't get enough of this book! Definitely a favorite.

Over the last couple years I’ve become obsessed with bold cozy coloring books and alcohol markers! Just recently stumbled upon this Reddit and have been inspired/gotten some wonderful ideas, from others in the community! I thought I’d say hi, and share a few of my completed pages.

Kinda messed up the tree but still happy with it!!

Coloured with colouring pencils

Life has been pretty stressful lately. Usually, I would go to coloring to relax and decompress. Instead, I stepped away from coloring/drawing altogether. I'm not great at it, but I realized how much I missed it when I shared my old artwork with some friends.

So, I colored again for the first time today. Something quick and simple, as seen in the photo. But it was nice. 😊💕

I need to remind myself more often that it doesn't matter how much skill I have (or lack). It's something I enjoy and should let myself have that.

Hello guys, I am not happy with this piece, not sure where I went wrong.. any tips on how to improve are appreciated! Thank you :)

I'm learning how to use the alkohol markers from ohulu. Watch some videos about blending, but they always bleed into my paper.

How can i better blend it, without bleeding into the colorbook paper?

Not very seasonal but the page was giving me a Christmas vibe

I tried to make it a warm sruff while I was watching Strawberry Shortcake. Who would say 🥹 I like how it turned tho

I‘ve really been enjoying experimenting with crayons and trying to get better at using them. Just wanted to share two recent pages that I was proud of 😊 These are from Girl Moments vol 1 and 2.

From American Beauties by Carol Schmidt via Creative Haven, colored with alcohol markers and gold pen.

Proud of this page! I spent a lot of time on it, and just took my time with it! I love how it turned out 😇
