@Torchwood: I haven't gotten it, but I think it's hilarious! If I wasn't worried about hiding it from K, I'd order it!
I finally finished this monster page! -
here are the last couple I did!
-
@Mrs. Oatmeal: Gorgeous!
@Bao: Those crabs look awesome!
-
@Mrs. Oatmeal: Yeah, I wanted to get it for my SIL and cousin, but they have 5yo's. It's extra awesome because the artist is English, so it has all this British slang.
-
@Bao: Those crabs look like they're just a really cool scrapbook paper print. Hard to believe it's all hand colored! ETA- That makes it sound like I'm skeptical. Just impressed!
-
@Mrs.KMM: thank you!! @Torchwood: thanks
they took forever!
-
I'm jumping onboard finally. Finished my first page! I definitely need to invest in better pencils or try markers to see how I like them instead.
-
Just finished this one
-
@Bao: WOW! You are getting really good!
-
@T.H.O.U.: thank you!!
-
Can I get some input on color choice? The top right and bottom right are the same, so bright blue with dark green. But I can't decide what to do on the top half. Orange or pink would be pretty, but that'd be a lot of either of them. Same with yellow. Dark green would be a bit boring, but maybe the most logical choice. Any thoughts?
-
@Torchwood: hmm I think any color would be fine! I struggle with color choices so I'm not much help lol
-
-
@Bao: Gorgeous!
-
@Bao: Holy wow! So gorgeous!
-
Did anyone see Young House Love just posted about their new interior design coloring book? You can preorder but you'll have to wait til October to get it. Excited and a bit sad I have to wait that long for it.
-
@Bao: I know you posted these a while ago, but how did you get so good?!?! They are AMAZING! Did you watch some videos or use better pencils?
-
@simplyfelicity: aww thank you! I started off with just markers and then I would look at other peoples work and decided to try out colored pencils (prismacolor) and then I practiced with shading and went from there. YouTube videos help! So last summer to now:
-
@Bao: What a difference! You could totally frame those. Okay, off to YouTube I go!
-
@simplyfelicity: or IG has short little videos if you search Johanna basford or adultcoloring, things like that. Super helpful too!
-
@Bao: My husband is an artist and in art school he used prismacolor colored pencils. They are great quality. Wonderful job on yours!
-
@bluestriped bee: I love Prismacolors! And thank you!
-
@Bao: wow! Those are amazing! Great job!!
-
@Mamaof2: thank you
-
@Bao: killin it!!!
let's vote.. colored pencils or markers?? -
@Mrs. Pickles: thank you!!
-
@Mrs. Pickles: for me, it depends on the book/detail. For Secret Garden, I like pencils because you can use a sharp tip to get in small areas.
I have a mandala book my aunt gave me and I like the brightness of markers. And since it's not as detailed, it doesn't matter if the markers aren't as pointy
-
@Mrs. Pickles: I like colored pencils because you can do different shades.
-
I'm not 100% pleased with a couple spots, but I think this is my favorite I've done. Kinda wishing I'd gone reds instead of blues and made a phoenix though!
-
@Torchwood: That's really pretty!
I have a book by the same artist and enjoy her level of detail. I find it less stressful than the Secret Garden, but intricate enough that I like the end product.
-
@MaryM: Thanks! I definitely like the style of this one because it's so forgiving. If I mess up odds are you'll never know! I get too nervous with Secret Garden that I'll mess it up.
-
@Torchwood: very pretty!
-
Anyone follow rad and happy on IG? She just came out with a coloring book and it's amazing. I just got mine in the mail today and am joining the group!
-
Did anyone get Magical Jungle by Johanna? I haven't colored in months, but I have my eye on it!
-
Getting back to making time for me!
-
I just got gifted a coloring book so I'm re-viving this!
I want to use markers i/o pencils. Any recommendation of fine tip markers that won't bleed? Or that doesn't exist?
they took forever!
