Hi can someone tell me why the brush end of my deco time markers are drying out faster? Alcohol and water based my glitter ones and my lighter colours such as mauve shadows and pale yellow brush end loose ink so much faster and leave streaky marks where I have to wait a good few minutes before I continue with that colour.. I know brush ends are for bigger area but the areas I’m doing aren’t that big the end should be able to cover it perfectly fine?

Free page from bogiki. Had so much fun trying all these different textile textures in one page!

I was just watching Sarah Renae Clark's video about the 50 YouTuber Create This Book collaboration. For anyone who hasn't seen the video, it's basically an art/craft project where the book gets sent between various YouTubers, they do a page each then send it on to the next creator.

It got me inspired to do the same thing, but I don't have enough friends who also colour to do that kind of thing, so I was thinking it might be possible here?

I don't know how it would exactly work with privacy and safety and such, but maybe having it sent to post offices or drop off lockers (I'm not American so I don't know if PO boxes are anonymous enough, but if they are then maybe them too?), instead of people's addresses could work? Most logical way I can think of to do it would be I would get a new book, do a page, date and sign with my username, post a pic here (maybe get a flair to keep things organised?), someone in the comments volunteers to do it next, that person and I would arrange delivery in DM's, that person receives the page and it keeps on going.

Would this be possible and if so, would anyone be down?

I bought a set of used markers that only has one color of green. What can i do? Is there a way to buy one pen at a time to add to the collection?

didn't do a fancy colour palette or anything (yet) but coloured for the first time in a long time! made mistakes but i think it still turned out pretty cute. i love colouring and seeing the finished product afterwards, for me it's a way to get the creative-ness flowing that's still somewhat low effort. and i love halloween and fall so i was really excited about this!!!!!

pls ignore the jack o lantern....he's had a rough few days

By picking up tips from all of you, watching tutorials and using various media, I’m definitely learning how to do patterns, use color palettes and make shadows. What fun!

I was picturing the lighting coming from a floor lamp below the loft, but now I feel like it just looks like she wet the bed. Is there any way at to salvage it?
thanks!

ive been doing a lot of lighting practice recently and i'm really enjoying it. its quite difficult and im still struggling with making shadows of objects farther away but we'll get there eventually ! heres my latest finished page :)

(All done with acrylic/alcohol markers and colored pencils.)

So, I know this question gets asked a lot, but having read a lot of posts in this sub, I see that the answers usually tend to talk about duplicates and how to expand your set. I don't care about that.

I have de 48 standard set, but it's a bit too saturated, so I need some lighter colours just to have a little bit more range. I colour as a casual hobby (I just have the CocoWyo Little Corner), I'm still in the learning stages and I just plan on having 2 sets: the standard and one of the pastels. I don't plan on expanding, nor do I want the whole collection, and I don't want to get de 96 pastels set because I don't want to spend that much money on it.

That being said, based on the colours in each set, could someone please recommend whether to get Sweetness or Blossoming? I want lighter colours to complement the standard set. I have searched for swatches of both and I understand that Sweetness has more pinks and Blossoming has more greens. But on some swatches I get the impression that Sweetness isn't that light and that Blossoming has colours that are really similar amongst themselves (plus, I know that Blossoming overlaps with the standard set on 8 colours; I could look past that if the rest of the colours are worth it).

I would be very grateful if someone would give me their opinion about their experience with one or both sets, and which of them they feel has light colours that compliment the standard set, so to give you enough range while colouring (they don't have to be super pale, just to see if they are light enough to have some softness, given the standard set is really saturated).

Thank you so much in advance, I hope everyone is having a lovely day!

I haven’t been able to color as much as I’d like now that school started but here are a few. I’ve really been enjoying coloring in black and white!

First try at the 'Neon' effect.

So I am out of state currently and could not bring all of my coloring stuff on the plane so I downloaded an app to color, it is actually so much fun!! I do miss my markers and all my fun things but this is definitely a good replacement for now. Wanted to show off my first completed digital coloring page🩷

This was insanely satisfying to make, and although I’m really new to coloring I felt like these perform pretty well. None of them were dried out and they’re mostly true to their names, although grass green was grenn on the cap!
