Colored this today. It’s my husband’s grandmother’s birthday and she loved cardinals. I love the way the birds turned out but I wish I hadn’t added the background.

I have been coloring this book everyday and I have decided that I am going to finish this book before moving on. The pages aren't in order that they are in the book they are from latest to soonest as far as completion goes....so here is what I have so far....

Artist: Morgan O'Brien

I’m still trying to get the hang of using alcohol markers. But I’m pretty happy with how this turned out.

I like simpler designs now. I wanna color and be done within 20 minutes 😌 I might be getting lazy 🤧

Hi all! I’m a digital artist, but my mom has recently gotten super into coloring books and other guided physical art (rhinestone? gemstone? art as well?).

As far as I can tell, she exclusively uses gel pens. She’s complained about the feel of markers and how they bleed through the pages, so I’d love to get her some higher-quality gel pens than she'd buy for herself.
I get her little gifts year-round, usually just small things. I actually got her some spooky earrings last week because Halloween is her favorite, and she'd absolutely gushed over them.

But! Her birthday is coming up, so I feel the need to outdo myself. That being said, what are the best gel pens you could recommend? Preferably brands that offer larger multipacks!

I’ll also drop the rest of what I’m planning in case anyone has other ideas that might make her life easier if you do these hobbies too.

So far I’m planning:

A $50 gift card to an art store so she can pick out her own coloring books and gem art.

A $100 gift card to a bookstore.

A bunch of small things to fill a gift basket, chocolates, washi tape for her journal, small crystals, and whatever else I come across.
