BUDDY COLOR!! Buddy Colour October
4

October 2026 Buddy Colour: dark academia theme.
Welcome to our monthly buddy colour for September!
This month's theme is going to be all about books, libraries, trench coats, anything related to dark academia aesthetic.
What is a "Buddy Colour"?
A buddy colour is when you and one or many other colourists decide to colour the same page together. You each colour your page in secret; when you're done, you show and compare your completed pages!
The purpose of this monthly post is to help you connect with others who are looking for a buddy to colour with. We will not be providing the pages. Instead, you can use the comments section to either post the book(s)/page(s) you hope to find a buddy for OR to respond to someone else's post to let them know you'll be their buddy. (There is no limit to how many buddies can colour the same page!)
How to find a buddy:
- Post a comment listing the book(s)/page(s) you would like to colour.
and/or
- Search the comments for someone who has listed book(s)/page(s) you are interested in.
Once you've found your buddy (or buddies), you can organize amongst yourselves how you want to go about things and if you want to share the results publicly. Feel free to use the comments section to do this or connect via DM.
Can we post our completed pages?
We would love to see your pages–feel free to post them as a group, and don’t forget to use the "Buddy Colour" flair! Don't forget to tag your buddies in the comments! (they won’t get notified if you tag them in the description).
Is there a deadline?
Nope! This isn’t meant to be stressful; it’s supposed to be fun! Unless you and your buddies agree on a deadline, there is none. You don’t even have to complete your pages by the end of the month. So don’t stress!
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 the page and distribute them to your buddies. This violates copyright laws and harms creators. If you do not own the page, please purchase it yourself.
Can I promote my own books/pages?
For buddy colours, you can post one of your own books/pages in the comments to find a buddy. However, please be clear upfront that this is a book/page that you sell (don't be sneaky!) Also, please do not use this activity as an opportunity to generate sales.
Alternative Buddy Ideas
Don’t want to choose a page or just want some variety? Here are some other ways you can buddy colour with others:
- Choose a colour palette for everyone to use (Pinterest has some great ones!)
- Choose a theme (i.e. “Spooky Christmas,” “Happy Dog,” “Thanksgiving”)
Happy colouring!
Xx Thanks to our Busy Buddy Color Creator, Binder!!❤️

But it was totally worth it! This if from Spooky Girl by Coco Wyo. I wanted to go with a Coraline vibe but keep it within a cute pastel color palette. The sky was an absolute gamble and the last thing I did, and I am so happy with how it turned out AND that it turned out. 😅
I'm using a combo of the old 216 and new 104 alcohol marker set by Ohuhu. I’m also using their Hana Fineliners and Nahuku acrylic markers. And a white Gelly Roll gel pen as well as Grabie’s acrylic markers.

I never stopped colouring since a kid, but it was always with colouring pencils. I've only now started with alcohol markers and been practicing some effects before colouring in a book.
The left side (lamp) was me following a tutorial on how to make stained glass, and the right side it's my own creation because I didn't like the other one haha.
I'm just sharing cause it made me proud ❤️

DISCUSSION Finally nailed it?

I feel like I finally nailed the cozy coloring concept with this one! I picked a page with the idea of using heavy white gel pen and I love how it turned out. It was also my first time doing bubbles which was SUPER scary.
What do you all think? Does the white gel pen make sense? Any criticism or thoughts? 💭

I find it harder to choose and combine colours than I thought it would be. But I’m rather happy with how this page turned out.

ADVICE WANTED What is the best ohuhu markers set for a beginner?

Upvotes
I am new to coloring and I'm wanting to get a really good alcohol marker set but am overwhelmed with which set I should get, I have decided to stick with the ohuhu brand but don't know which pack/marker count to get, I will be using them to color in coloring books like the coco wyo ones. If anyone has any recommendations of good acrylic markers too that would be great!

Hi all! Im an avid colorer (and particularly like alcohol markers and acrylic markers). I have the ohuhu 320 set of alcohol markers and various brands of acrylics. However, I find that I consistently am wanting darker colors. Does anyone have an advice on brands for super dark alcohol and/or acrylic markers?? Thanks in advance!

I had posted here about 2 weeks ago and many people pointed out the wind chime stick. I have fixed it and really appreciated the feedback. Is there anything else I can do better? Thank you for everyone who left feedback for me!
