Work in Progress 2/4 Glowing

I thought stained glass would be fun butttt I’m not really getting the ‘glowing’ vibe I was going for, because I was coloring on white paper. Next time I’ll try neon or maybe a glowstick?

I’d still love recommendations for cracked and liquid please!

Discussion My 8 year old wants to color with me now. Any non-babyish kid coloring pages that don't bore an adult?

4 Upvotes

I've been adult coloring for my anxiety the past 3 years, mandalas mostly, and my daughter has started sitting next to me asking to join. I loveee this! The problem is every coloring page or app I find for her is cartoonish, tap-to-fill, or the texture and feel of the book is cheap with inky thick lines. My books are way too detailed for her on the other hand . Looking for that in between detailed enough to keep an 8yo busy without frustrating her. Printable is great and online coloring pages wont work too! What has worked for you if you color with your kids?

First post here, only recently got back into colouring. Found these online and thought might as well give them a go, mostly flat colouring I’ve been doing until I get back into it even more.

Completed First post/New-ish to coloring

Hi all.
I used to love coloring/doodling as a kid/teenager. I got older and did it less and less. I lost my mom to complications from Parkinson’s/a stroketwo years ago, and she loved to color, she never quit till the very end. She told me it took her mind off things. The reason I mention this is because I somehow landed on color tok and saw this coco wyo book. I thought to myself that my mom would have loved having this. I wound up eventually collecting an adequate amount of markers, watched tutorials, practiced and then finally ordered the book. I did the first page today. In a way, I feel close to my mom doing this, as cheesy as it sounds. I’m really happy with how it turned out. I do have one question if anyone could help me. I used a white gelly roll pen to draw in the ghosts on the quilt but it didn’t quite create the solid pattern I hoped for. What can I do for a better result next time? I think it’s safe to say I am hooked on coloring again :)

Can I just say how heartwarming it is that grown adults post their artwork on here and ask us for our opinion? My opinion will always be GREAT JOB because most people post things they are proud of and I want that feeling to go on longer for these people. It also makes me feel good to give kudos to all you artists! Color on! Share away!

I just got myself Ohuhu Honolulu brush markers and Ohuhu Ulu acrylic markers and had to do a few pages. I haven't coloured in about a year so I have been non-stop in my supplies lol. I will probably keep finishing more pages and I want to try some of these techniques I've been seeing online! I tried my hand at the ghost effect but I'd like to do it much better than I have yet. First page was inspired by a popular video game, whoever gets it gets an upvote from me lol

Advice Wanted Which technique to finish this?

Post image
14 Upvotes

I can't decide whether I want this to be monochromatic or...? All colours I've used are on the Cyan colour range and I'm not sure if I should fill the page with blue-green tones or not.

I did water ripples and aurora borealis for the first time already, I'm feeling intimidated to finish it. I have Ohuhu alcohol markers, Ohuhu acrylic markers, and some pencil crayons at my reach. I am very much a "chaos/dopamine" colorist so I don't normally do challenges...but I do want to challenge myself. Thoughts, opinions, advice?

Je lis beaucoup sur le coloriage, je regarde beaucoup de tutoriel, j'essaye d'apprendre, mais je ne pratique quasiment jamais !!!

J'ai tenté quelques motifs et une combinaison plutôt chaude, mais avec juste 6 marqueurs +1 pour le fond...

Je ne sais pas moi-même ce que j'en pense....

Toutes critiques constructives sont les bienvenues !!!

C'est dingue j'ai l'impression de passer un examen lol 😅

Mais je me suis beaucoup amusée en le faisant !!! 😉

Feedback Wanted How to learn shadows and highlights??

Post image
6 Upvotes

So far, I’ve only been able to successfully color things by copying other people’s choices in shadows and highlights. I do try to imagine where the light is coming from, but it’s not always obvious to me where the shadows will fall. I especially love those coloring pages where people only use two or three colors. Any place to specifically work on that technique?

Here’s my 2nd completed page, using someone else’s version as a reference 😬

My first Melpomeni Chatzipanagiotou page in Circle of Life. I has just got some new inktense pencils and kalour pencils for my birthday so i played about with them a little bit on this page. When i first started it out i was gonna do the background purple and orange but then i got scared to commit to the purple so i just left it pink. Its a bit of a vibe even tho it is VERY pink🤣 if i knew i was gonna change my mind i wouldnt have done so much reds and pinks in the plants🙈
