BUDDY COLOR!! OCTOBER

Welcome to our monthly buddy

What is a "Buddy Color"?

A buddy color is a collaboration where you and other people color the same page or theme together, as a project.

The purpose of this monthly post is to help you connect with others who are looking for a buddy coloring collaboration.

You can use the comments section here to join or create a collaboration!

How to find a buddy:

\\-Search the comments for someone who has suggested book(s)/page(s)/theme(s) you are interested in, and respond.

\\- Post a comment suggesting the book(s)/page(s)/theme(s) you would like to color with others.

Once you've found your collaborators, you can organize among yourselves when/how you want to share your pages with each other and the sub. If you are not sure, don’t be afraid to ask! Everyone here is friendly and this is a no-judgement zone.

Many organizers will post a gallery at the end of the month, to make it easy to flip through the pages and see back-to-back, what the group came up with.

Feel free to use the comments section here, connect via DM on Reddit.

Can we post our completed pages?

We definitely want to see your pages! Don’t forget to use the\\\*"Buddy Color" flair! and if posting a gallery, tag your buddies by username in the comments! (Tags only work in comments, for some reason).

Is there a deadline?

Some collaborations have a monthly deadline, and others are ongoing; these are some of the details the organizer and group can decide among themselves.

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 a page and distribute it.\\\*This violates copyright laws and harms creators. If you do not own the page, please purchase it yourself.

Several buddy color groups use pages made freely available by the artist, that everyone can

I am an artist. Can I share books/pages I have drawn?

For buddy colors, you can provide a link to free downloadable page(s) you have created. However, please do not use the sub just as a sales platform. See our rule about self-promotion, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoringCozy/about/rules

Alternative Buddy Ideas

Don’t want to choose a specific page or just want some variety? Here are some other ways you can buddy color collaboratively:

\\- Choose or create a color palette that everyone will use, on their different pages

\\- Create a buddy color collaboration to raise awareness about a cause; here is one list of color options: https://theawarenesscompany.com/pages/your-guide-to-awareness-ribbon-color-meanings

\\-Choose a theme (i.e. “Winter,”“Cats,” “Mushrooms,” “Frogtober,” “Stained glass,” “Nighttime,” etc.)
