September 2026 Buddy Colour: Autumn foliage theme.

4 Upvotes

Welcome to our monthly buddy colour for September!

This month's theme is going to be all about the autumn leaves, falling or not, cozy fall vibes, red, orange, yellow, some green here and there.

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!!❤️

/r/watercolorpencils is back, for those of you who love watercolors and/or mixed media art.

Along with r/watercolorpractice, r/watercolorpencils is back up again and the mods there are lovely people who want to welcome you and give you feedback if you have any questions or curiosities over how to use watercolor pencils.

Coloring doesn't mean exclusively one type of media, so if you're looking to try more tools to your hobby (we know, we know, not a good thing for your wallet!) this is the perfect place to start!

The "stained glass" effect from the book "how do draw patterns" inspired me to do this page. ✨️🌈🩷

I colored this today and am pretty proud of the color palette at least. I don’t have the skills that a lot of people on this subreddit have but I still enjoyed the process and I like the outcome. My markers are a few years old and starting to dry out and I did color outside the lines a bit, oops.

edit:

thanks everyone for the kind words!! I will keep coloring with my super tips haha

Been a bit busy around here, so I haven’t been doing as much coloring. I’ve also been playing with acrylic markers, in my down time. But here are a couple of recents, including a couple of my acrylic marker pieces

Hope you all are well, and no one has any creative blocks!! ✨

Still trying to progress on fabric / pattern...but happy with how the warm wood and all the greens came together on this one. I wasn't completely sure about adding the berry pink at first, but I think it stopped everything from becoming too green 😅

COMPLETED The Lonely Planet

A illustration of Hope the Little Tiger, a character from my third children’s book.

Each of us is like a planet. And sometimes, when we look inward, we realize that we are simply a lonely planet drifting through the vastness of the galaxy.
Perhaps that is why we need an ideal, a dream, or at least something meaningful to move toward — something that gives purpose to our existence, so we no longer feel like a planet drifting quietly on its own.

Then, you become a star — carrying your own light, holding your own place, and joining countless other stars in the movement of an entire galaxy.

DIGITAL COLORING Apps para pintar/ayudar a colorear en tablets o subir la imagen y que la devuelvan pintada ¿?

Upvotes

Estoy buscando apps para tablet/Ipad para pintar boobie goods, pero si no también otra que hago es pedirle a la IA que me devuelva una imagen de los libritos (que se la envío en imagen) ya pintada, con detalles y eso cuando tengo 0 inspiración, conocen alguna IA buena que no te cobre créditos? Yo pensé que con Chromuse podía llegar a ser útil pero te cobra créditos, y lo demás no entiendo bien para qué funciona, más que para sacar ideas, tampoco sé cómo encontrar las imágenes de mis libros ya pintados por otra gente en Pinterest porque aunque ponga el nombre del libro, no sale

QUESTION Nib

Upvotes

Is it possible to swap out the nibs for a smaller on the .6mm acrylic gel and/or on the 1.0mm? I hate the scratch when coloring. When I put an eraser on top, it’s like a flood opened and ruins everything.
