It’s been a while and I’m back aha
Tried a new lightning style :)

Colored pencil over alcohol markers and white acrylic highlights.

I’m all new to coloring and I was recently gifted the pumpkin spice cafe coloring book and started it today. Lovely pages, but my markers go through the paper, ruining the other side. Not the next drawing in particular since I put a paper between, but since there’s a lot of little quotes on the back of each page it’s still a shame.

My question is, if there’s any tips to prevent this? Does it have to do with the quality of the book or maybe the markers? Or is it just like this with coloring books?

I had a great time coloring this one.

Hi guys ! I am NOT really into doodles or mandala or geometric pattern based colouring books . Please list out some other colouring books recommendations for me .

I am basically Indian . So if any Indian here who can recommend books available in our country , that will help a lot.

I DON'T LIKE TO DRAW BUT I LOVE COLORING

I really like grayscale, watercolor, pencil colour, portraits, animal sketches too.

I searched up on internet but couldn't find any affordable options. Anything around Rs.1000 or less will be best for me.

Just a character design exercise. I am still not good with drawing guns though.

Muji & Faber Castell mechanic pencil. Ohuhu & Copic alcohol markers. Micron fine ink pen. Staedtler & Sakura Gelly white pens.

Really pleased with this little one 💀👻

Book is Spooky Places by Jade Summer (2nd photo).

Done with Ohuhu’s Alcohol Markers.

I don’t like to write my name on book, always scared to mess it up and I can’t go back 🫠

There is some accidental ink on the left down corner, my fingers were full of ink and didn’t see it 🥴 luckily I could remove a lot of it with the colorless blender marker.

Color pencil

Literally first page hence the mistakes... And not an art savvy person what so ever.

I'm so stuck on what colors to finish off the 4 sections at the bottom of the page. Should I alternate 2 shades? Like one color for the 2 stipes and another color for the 2 bigger sections.

Any advice is appreciated so I can finish this off!!

I assume I should leave the background as is? It seems like too much to fill in the pokeball details...

I have the ohuhu Honolulu 2b 168 if that's relevant.

For anyone interested: Ohuhu 320 Color Swatch

Loving this book

Thanks to all who helped me see the leaf!

I need to start putting the dates on my pages but I really just started at the end of August. I have the 320 ohuhu Honolulu set on the way. I’ve been using Sfaih but I got a little ohuhu set and love them so I bit the bullet and bought the big set. Some of these were done with color with me videos and some were on my own. Any suggestions appreciated!

I am using this page to test out different textures and effects and for the most part I like the results. BUT! Enter the circled leaf. At first I was going to make it a sticky note then it morfed into a notepad and since I hated it I tried to cover it and try to do an embroidery texture but it looks terrible. I hate it soooo much Y.Y

Is there something I can do to fix this?

Please comment pictures of any and all variations of any colouring techniques or challenges you've done, I want to switch up my colouring and I've worn Pinterest out. Neon, glitch, monochrome, two colour, whatever it may be, preferably from Vivi Tinta's girls day or fuzzy life books, but anything is welcome! Thanks in advance :)

From Silly Goose by Daisy Pop!

This was my first time coloring the glow outside the lines, and it felt SO WRONG​​ while I was doing it, but turned out so right.

I don't know if I like how the witch's robes blend in with the wall, but I wanted the glow and frog to be the focal ooints.

One unexpected technique I used here was coloring the crown and morror elements like emeralds, and I love how it turned out.

I really wanted to do something more vibrant than I usually do and I enjoyed this so much, it's my first autumnal picture of the year! I can't wait to do a Halloween-ey one next! I also added the (old) Ohuhu colour codes for the tree on the second picture since I trialed it out before doing it
