Enquanto estou na sala de espera do médico, estou aqui pintando para esperar literalmente, só tenho dificuldade fazer texturas, como estou me saindo, com caneta Touch 24 cores
Coloring when I should be sleeping 😅 but I feel calmer having finished! This one feels kind of different for me but I think I’m getting the hang of the shadows and highlights. I was fully intimidated by the wave though lol
I finally started my first coloring page! 🩷
I’ve been putting alot of pressure on it and over thinking it which has been leading to me being anxious about it. But this is supposed to be a fun stress free hobby!! I won’t let my brain ruin it for me.
I got my markers in today (shuttle art alcohol markers) so I made myself choose something and go for it. I don’t have to add all the extra patterns and detail. It’s okay., It’s my first one! It doesn’t have to be a perfect masterpiece and it won’t be! 🫠😂 it’s in the trust the process phase but I can’t wait to finish it!🙌🏻
So happy to finally be excited about a hobby again! It’s been a while.
I love how the mangoes turned out. I believe the shapes may have been leaves, but they look more like mangoes to me! I only have a limited selection of alcohol markers, the last photo is of test blends.
Now I just need to color the background. I think a shade of blue would be best, but which one?
It seems i always mess up my color palettes, i like my fairies a lot but the rest of the page doesn’t seem to blend well together, how do i get a cohisive palette?
as a person who loves to pick up every single hobby, but is also really impatient, finishing a page is super hard😭 but I used to do a lot of art and I wanted to bring that back into my life in a form that is less pressure! <3
a few of my recent pages from autumn whimsy by miss kitsch. kept seeing a lot of love for her books from colouring youtube creators and figured i would break out of my coco wyo bubble! it's a really simple style but I am loving it so far :)
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!
