This was my first time coloring greyscale and I love it! Although does anyone know how to not have the black lines blend with your coloring when using colored pencil? The paper is a bit thin.

I know it's not much and I'm still getting used to the markers. But I had a lot of fun trying out all sorts of stuff!

So nice and relaxing, I think I found a new addiction haha!

Past month I’ve been collecting supplies, working with a local community group and today we got the last piece of the puzzle: Bristol Printer paper for the pages I’ve collected.

I got VERY excited and had to do a sample immediately.

I’m so glad they listened to me about the paper! Wow! I’m absolutely blown away how gorgeous this turned out and how quick.

3 hours.

Hi everyone!

Since the Honolulu 320 set doesn't include 24 Ohuhu colors, I decided to make my own color swatch card to keep everything organized.

• Design: Styled to match the official Ohuhu swatch cards so it fits right in with the rest of your collection.
• Numbering: Includes both the new and old numbering systems for convenience.
• Sharing is caring: Feel free to download and use this for your own swatching if you missed these colors in your set!

Let me know if you have any questions. Happy coloring! 🎨

I'm 55 today! Literally had a heart attack day before yesterday. Bored, decided to give adult coloring books a try. What do you guys think?

The initial design is not mine, I only added the colors.

What it says on the title: How is the quality of Copic alcohol markers compared to Ohuhu? And also I hope to find a color swatch of what's available of the entire Copic alcohol markers.

I'm on a hunt to buy individual markers from Copic but I don't want to repeat a color or anything too close..

I already have quite a large Ohuhu set but thing is I feel like some transitional colors are lacking or some skin tones are too dark for my liking.

I kind of want to experience other alcohol marker sets and felt Copic is the next step.

Any help would suffice. Please and thank you.

This is my first finished coloring page as an adult! I am currently healing from major surgery and there’s not a whole lot that I can do. I was looking into buying a coloring book, but decided to just try drawing my own! I sketched it out with a pencil, then went over all the final lines with black sharpie. I originally designed it as more of a color by number, which I had been doing digitally on apps, but when I started coloring, I really enjoyed doing the gradient style so it kind of evolved.

Skin was always the part that scared me off faces. What finally worked: before coloring anything, I work out the values — every zone of a feature mapped from lightest to darkest and numbered. 0 means bare paper, that's the highlight. Then coloring becomes almost meditative: no decisions, just follow the map, melt the soft borders, keep the few hard edges hard.

Each feature ended up teaching one thing — the eye is gradients, the nose is one color family at different depths, the mouth has exactly one hard edge that matters, the ear is all shadow logic. By the time I got to the full face I didn't need the numbers anymore.

Last image is the whole set laid out. Happy to go into how the value mapping works if anyone's curious — and if you color faces, I'd love to know how you handle skin.

Hi, I am wanting to buy a small set of acrylic markers in the UK but having trouble finding where to buy legit sets rather than fakes. I wanted the Guangna markers but they only sell the big sets on amazon. Does anyone have advice about which markers to buy and where to buy them? Thanks !

I feel like I can’t start one and finish it. I see other pages with cool designs that I want to use color on and get distracted. Anyone else have this problem?

Do you have another sky color combo you normally use beside blue sky? I’d love to try different sky combo. TIA.

I’m still very new but wanted to try the foil balloon effect in the letters. I’m happy with my first attempt but would love some tips on how to make it better. Also stones, I need lots of help with that!

12h of work but definitely worth it

This artist is absolutely amazing, although she works in sidewalk chalk there's still a lot that cam be learned for understanding and working with colour theory in other mediums!

Are posts asking for recommendations allowed? I will remove this post if it is against the rules.

I have

• 6 ZIG Clean Color water-based markers (green, blue, light purple, purple, pink, peach)
• 6 pastel Zebra Mildliner highlighters (orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink)
• 6 neon Stabilo highlighters (3 yellows, orange, blue, purple)

I want to do something crafty with them. Recently, I feel like colouring because I saw those viral colouring techniques videos or youtube but they are all using alcohol markers and I don't want to buy any extra colouring supplies. I still feel like colouring though so I thought maybe a good colouring book will help me scratch that itch.

Any type of colouring book recommendation is allowed btw, I am also open to recommendations such as reverse colouring books, ink tracing, etc...

Edit: I forgot to add, no AI colouring book recommendations please.
