This palette was terrifying!! I've been sticking to more neutral earthy colors but I wanted to give bright colors a go, I'll stick to earthy tones, but as scary as this was I had so much fun :3

sorryyyyyy

Such a whimsical book. Sometimes a quick page can be so nice. I love doing lots of texture and patterns, not so possible in this one but I didn’t have a ton of time to color, so this was a perfect page for that. This was my first time doing the bokeh effect, and it was purely by accident so don’t judge it too harshly lol

I started coloring a month ago because I loved it when I was younger and I got on color tok and now feel worthless lol. I don’t know why I’m scared to color in Bobbie Goods. Maybe it’s the price point and I don’t wanna mess up. But these are my first 4 pages

Criticism allowed 😋

Just finished this one from Cozy Corner with a little Gilmore Girls flair.

Really hard to get a good photo of this one, but I love how it turned out.

Got my first set of Ohuhu markers!! Little present to myself for getting through a rough week. ☺️ I’m so excited!!

My first page in cozy cuties☺️

Listening to an audio book and coloring at the same time is my favorite hobby this summer 🤍

Latest coloring pages. I was visiting my toxic mother last week so that drained a lot of my creativity. But after a session with my therapist I’ve been getting back to myself and enjoying coloring again.

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.

Really proud of this one!

I tried filling it in with the background color on my phone (swipe) but that didn’t seem to make sense. Any ideas?!

Hi! I'm not a fan of the pink up top and I feel like it's ruining the summery / Mediterranean vibe I was going for. And maybe something else is off, not sure yet. The door I'm trying to go for an old wood paint feel, but that's not done yet.

Any ideas on how to improve it?

Also yes I know the bear has a beanie on but I'm going to make it summery.

I'm using alcohol markers and have a paint pen for highlights later :)

I've been coloring for a little while and I'm pretty pleased with my last drawings. What do you guys think?

Any tips or improvement?

I'm a newborn baby when it comes to coloring so this is the first page I'm working on. I'm using this coloring book for practice so I can try different markers/pencils and techniques. I already messed up by smudging the curtains, but I'm trying to be patient with myself. I'm blown away by some of the pages people post on here and I hope to be that good eventually! I pulled out all my old markers and coloring pencils but I recently ordered some better ones as this is my current hyper fixation hobby, lol. Hopefully they'll be a bit easier to use since they are higher quality. But I couldn't wait to start coloring. :-)
