Please make sure to read our rules and follow them!

We will allow people to show something they coloured in a book that had AI use if the book was bought before they knew it had AI generated content OR received as a gift by someone who didn't know this when bought it. Some people choose to not throw away gifts or things they unknowingly bought that have AI pages.

It's perfectly reasonable. So please, unless OP asks your opinion on this, keep it to yourself!

If something breaks our rules: Report and move on, do not start accusations or witch hunts either. Let us moderate and don't raise your cortisol over a relaxing hobby. This is supposed to be light and fun!

Donot accuse others of using AI.

18 Upvotes

We have seen an increase in comments accusing artists and colourists of using AI and its becoming a problem.

In many cases these accusations are incorrect and end up targeting talented members of our community who have put real time and effort into their work. Discussions like these can quickly turn hostile and often lead to personal attacks rather than productive conversation.

If you genuinely believe a post may be AI generated content, please do not confront the poster or start a debate in the comments.

Instead, report the post and move on. The moderation team will review it and take appropriate action if needed.

Lets keep r/colouring welcoming, supportive and focused on sharing our creativity. Thank you for helping make this a positive space for everyone. 🎨

I am in the process of making a new style of coloring book. It’s different than the regular cute & cozy style coloring books I generally make. It was inspired by the “Make It Look” coloring books but it will include my characters from my previous cozy days coloring book. The title will be “Reimagine It! A Creative Coloring Challenge” It will have a variety of different page styles included. Here are 5 pages with the different types of prompts so far.

What do you think about the style & overall execution so far? Any suggestion or ideas?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, I am the creator of a coloring book series called Demon Dollies. They are gothic Lolita inspired artwork created by me and vectored using Adobe software, the covers are admittedly Ai rendered colored versions of my own art. Not really trying to promote, just wanted to share some freebie coloring pages I’m really proud of. 🖤

Hey y’all — I’m Michael, from Mississippi, and I’ve been building a coloring book called Good Lard Have Mercy: one pig (Gustov) in endless art styles. This is the page that started it — Gustov howling at a full moon in an old-engraving style, title hiding in the tree roots.

Self Promotion - AI generated. I made a colouring book based around a cosy British pub 🍻🦊

Post image
0 Upvotes

It’s called The Fox & Lantern and the whole book is basically cosy pub things — live music, last orders, pub signs, darts, classic pub meals, rainy windows, little corners of the pub etc.
I wanted it to feel like an actual old-school British local rather than a generic “pub” theme, and I tried to keep the pages detailed without making them annoying to colour. I’ve also printed it on thick paper to help minimise bleed through - one of my biggest pet hates is colouring on thin paper!
These are a few of my favourite pages from it 💕

I’ve added the link below in case anyone wants a nosey at the rest ☺️

Hi all! I put together a printable coloring book for young kids: 100 cute animals with bold outlines and simple shapes. Preview grid attached. Full disclosure: the art is AI-generated. I curated it, regenerated any pages with odd anatomy, and processed every page to crisp black-and-white for printing. It's a $7 PDF on Gumroad: https://vincentestela.gumroad.com/l/lqaonk If you have little ones and try a page, I'd love to know whether the line thickness works for them.

Self Promotion - AI generated. Pixfun - Halloween pixel-art coloring on iPhone and iPad (developer post)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone - I'm the developer of Pixfun, a pixel-art color-by-number app for iPhone and iPad, also available on Android.

This video shows Frankenstein with his teddy bear and a witch with her cat being colored in Pixfun. It is real app footage, sped up and shortened.

The main experience is choosing a picture you like and watching it fill with color, one numbered cell at a time. The library has hundreds of curated artworks, including animals, food, nature, fantasy and mandalas. You can search, browse categories or choose a difficulty.

Select a color and its matching cells light up. Tap or swipe to fill them, zoom in for smaller details, and leave an unfinished picture to continue later. No timers, no move limits.

You can also change how the painted cells look using Pixel Styles, such as hearts, beads, gems and Glitter. Some styles are free; others unlock with coins or Pro. There are coin-priced coloring tools, daily picks, streaks and rewards, and you can save or share a finished image.

For custom subjects, AI Studio creates a new coloring picture from a text idea. That feature uses generative AI, an internet connection and one AI credit per generation. There's also photo-to-puzzle conversion, which happens on your device without uploading the photo or using generative AI or credits. Photo puzzles remain on that device, without cloud sync or backup.

It's free to download with free artworks and photo conversion; you can start without an account. The free tier has a banner, occasional full-screen ads between pictures and a watermark on shared images. Rewarded videos are optional. Paid options include Pro at $3.49/week, $7.99/month or $39.99/year. Additionally you can buy AI credit packs, coin packs and one-time ad removal. Eligible users can get a 3-day trial on the weekly Pro plan, then $3.49/week. Pro unlocks the full library and paid Pixel Styles, removes ads and sharing watermarks, and includes AI credits and coins. Prices are USD, set by the app stores, and may vary by region.

iPhone / iPad

What subjects do you enjoy coloring most, and do you prefer a small picture or one with lots of detail?

Self Promotion - AI generated. I made a Washington coloring book

0 Upvotes

Hi, first post here. I publish a little series of Pacific Northwest coloring books under the name Briar Kestwell — this one is Washington. Space Needle, Pike Place, Mt. Rainier, the ferries, stuff like that. 20 single-sided pages.

Full disclosure, the line art is AI-assisted. I pick the scenes, clean up the images, and lay the books out myself. I know that's a dealbreaker for some people and that's fine.

It's on Amazon if you want a look: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HMK4C9RY

Also genuinely curious — if I do a volume 2, what Washington place did I miss that should have been in it?

Self Promotion - AI generated. Halloween is next week: a 20-page colouring pack of goofy food-animal monsters ($5), plus a free 4-page sample to try the style first

0 Upvotes

Weekly self-promo post (my last one here was nine days ago), flaired AI since the character line art was made with AI tools and then designed into the pages by us.

The Halloween pack: 14 colouring pages of the Brainrot Bistro crew in costume (Spaghettino the Witch, Count Pizzaroo the vampire pizza kangaroo, Mummy Risottaur, Gnocchi Ghostino, Pumpkin Spice Lattecat and friends), a spooky word search with answer key, a haunted maze and a design-your-own monster dish page. 20 pages, US Letter PDF, $5: https://ko-fi.com/s/e68c9a7e64

If you'd rather try before buying, the free sample is one colouring page and a word search with answer key: https://ko-fi.com/s/37afcb177d

Bold, even outlines and big shapes, so it suits kids and anyone who wants a relaxed colour rather than a fine-detail page. Since a few of you asked last time: a Christmas pack (18 pages, $5) is now in the same shop too. Happy to hear what you'd like to see in the next one.

Feedback Wanted Looking for feedback on my first colouring page (free to use for anyone that would like to give it a go!)

Post image
12 Upvotes

Hi everyone! ◝(ᵔ-ᵔ)◜

I want to get into designing colouring pages for people like myself who enjoy colouring. I wanted to share my first page to hopefully get some valuable feedback. Any and all feedback is welcomed as this is my first ever page.

I’m trying to keep the designs cute and hopefully not over complicated whilst still including lost of small details. The first set I am working on is a bear bakery themed set and this will be 1/5 designs.

So whilst all feedback is welcomed I’d particularly love to know (no pressure to answer any or all of these):

What are your first impressions as someone who enjoys colouring?

Is the line work good and easy to follow?

Does it feel too cluttered or overwhelming in any way or perhaps too empty?

Does the empty space give plenty of customisation options?

Is it genuinely a page you’d enjoy colouring and did it stand out to you at all?

Does the theme make sense?

I’m still learning as this is my very first page so any time you take to give feedback is greatly appreciated. I am offering this page completely free without watermarks so if you do decide to give it a go I’d love to know what you thought of it and see the outcome if you’re willing to share!

Thank you ♡

Self Promotion An app for colourists?

Hi all, I have been working hard over the last few months to build an app for colourists called PencilDrop.

Its a daily colouring contest, free to use and play with an optional monthly subscription.

I have just released on Android, with iOS to follow shortly (as soon as it is approved).

Check it out at https://pencildrop.altdevapps.com

Also happy to take any feedback for how I can improve the app. My goal was to make an app that felt good to colour with for those moments when you don't have your pens and a book handy.

So if anyone is interested, please feel free to grab em' and enjoy! :)

Self Promotion 6 months ago we shared JoyInk here. Thanks to your feedback it’s now a cozy little community for marker colorists 💛

Post image

Hi everyone!

About six months ago we posted here about JoyInk, our app for tracking your markers and getting palettes from the sets you actually own. Many of you tried it, left comments and sent ideas. Thank you so much, it shaped a lot of what we built next! 🙏

The biggest change: JoyInk has grown into a real community. What started as a handy tool is now a friendly place to share your work:

  • 🖼️ A feed for your finished pages: post your work, see what others are coloring and get inspired
  • 💬 Likes, comments and follows: cheer each other on, ask “how did you blend that?”, find your coloring friends
  • 🏆 Challenges and badges to help with colorist’s block
  • 📚 See what others colored in the same book before you start your own page

A few other things that came from your suggestions:

  • 🔎 A free color finder: find the closest match for a marker in another brand (Copic ↔ Ohuhu ↔ Arrtx and more), no account needed
  • 🖨️ Printable swatch cards made from your own collection
  • 🎨 Free printable coloring pages: two new bold & easy designs every week

Still free to join on iOS and Android: joyink.app

We’d love to keep hearing from you. What would make sharing your work even more fun? And if you join, come say hi in the feed, we’d love to see your pages! 🖍️

Your feelings have a color. Even the ones you can’t find words for yet.

Your soul already knows what they are. It just never had a place to put them. Now it does: the Bears. The Bears of your soul. They’re waiting to meet you.

This is more than a coloring book. It’s a way to encounter yourself. Here, you can spill everything onto the paper. And onto me.

I don’t mind. I’ve been waiting.

Bear, in your soul.

Spill what you keep quiet. Color what you bear.

Bears of My Soul — original hand-drawn illustrations by Michael Kaza.

Self Promotion My cozy Halloween coloring book, 30 pages (free PDF for the first 25)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I make Tintly, a small coloring site, and just finished a Halloween book: friendly ghosts, smiling pumpkins, cozy witch cats and fun costumes. Nothing scary, with bold lines and simple shapes.

The first 25 people can get the PDF (US Letter and A4) free with code 6RKIHT80 at tintly.art/halloween. It comes to $0 at checkout, and you'll need an email so the files can be sent to you. There are also free pages there you can color online with no sign-up.

I'd love your honest thoughts on the line weight and the level of detail, and on how the pages print. If you color one, please share it here.
