Welcome! Happy coloring to everyone! Here we can discuss coloring books and pages, deals on books and accessories, share our progress and completed works.

Halfway through my page and got hit with a “i miss coloring with my grandma” wave and can’t finish it tonight😔

My grandma (passed last year right before her 85th birthday) loved to color and it was her favorite hobby her whole life. I never thought of coloring as childish as most people do because I literally had a grandma with like 10 coloring books at all times and we’d color together when I’d go to see her. I miss her so much and want her to see my newest pages. I even use twistable crayons rather than colored pencils because she put me onto them. 😔 anyways here’s my wip have a good night!

Done!

My first page from Dark Fairytales is complete!

I used mainly Prismacolor pencils but also some Chromaflow & Polychromos. The background is acrylic markers. My diamonds are a bit wonky but it’s Alice in Wonderland so it actually works out! 😅 Really enjoyed this page 🖤

Best coloring books for chemo patient?

I am putting together a chemo package for a friend, who has already started drawing during her sessions(something she used to do and picked back up, due to her sessions) Do you have reccomendations of specific/favorite coloring books, sketch pads, and should I include colored pencils or gel pens, etc?

This took a while but I like how it turned out. I always find stained glass difficult.

Oops!

Hello, all! I'm a newbie with this hobby. So I started colouring this page from Kerby Rosanes' Geomorphia with green thinking the sea of fluffy things was trees. Oops, it's actually clouds? Haha, I guess I'll just continue transforming them into trees!

Have you ever messed up a page and just went with it anyway? I'm sure it happens a lot!

I can't decide - should I add colored pencil or leave as is?

I love the way it looks right now, but would I love it even more with some depth? I'm afraid of doing it badly, but if I don't try then how will I learn? Argh! 😭
