/r/Coloring
Coloring! or Colouring? Either way, Yay!!! Coloring books, line art, abstract, anime, that weird stain on your desk, whatever!
Any sort of coloring!
Crayons, pencils, markers, digital. Coloring books, abstract, anime... whatever you enjoy!
Subreddit meant for discussions and sharing art, not for selling coloring books.
Rules!
• If you have critique, try and be constructive about it.
• No being a snob about equipment used to color.
• No low effort youtube spam.
• If you post someone else's original art before it was colored, please obscure the drawings a bit with an object so they cannot be pirated.
We only allow YouTube posts and comments for tutorials and reviews. No ASMR, No "Colour with me", No Self Promotion for books!
• Self Promotion/Selling/Advertising posts are not allowed.
*Self promoting your own book as a self post is not allowed. This is not an advertisement subreddit. You are allowed to post photos of pages coloured by you, from your colouring book and only allowed to post the link to said book in the same post, but in comments.
If you are a content generator using AI, this is not the subreddit for you. Our rule for self-promotion applies to human artists only.
Posting AI as a hobbyist/colorist is still allowed as well wish to follow our own rule to not be a snob.*
• Posts from accounts that don't have at least 10 karma points will automatically be filtered by the Automoderator. Mail the moderatos if your post was removed and be patient for it to be reviewed. Thank you!
Flair!
Right now we have flair based off of different colors for anyone to use! If there are some colors you think we should add, let me know!
If you want anything custom (and it isn't obscene), send me a PM.

My first coloring page!
I only have colored pencils and I’m not very good at blending them yet, but it was fun! 🍄Hopefully I get better :)

Longest coloring page you’ve ever seen.
I’ve been on Reddit for like 5 years and never looked up coloring. WHAT!?! I thought I’d show off what I’m doing now (well, the last two halloweens…I get bored quick) but had to do it in video form. I took two other videos of some of my favorite pages that I’ve colored. I have a lot of coloring books but my favorites tend to all be from 3 books.
Edit: ugh I can only add one at a time. I’ll post the other two later. I got this book at Aldi btw.

Acrylic markers over alcohol markers
So I’ve seen multiple people on here and on insta who use acrylic markers/pens to do their highlighting instead of the Sakura Gelly Rolls.
I’ve got a bunch of gelly rolls and use them with mostly no problems. But there are times where it will just not be as stand out as I’d prefer, or where it absorbs the color (usually bright pinks and reds), even if it’s dried for 24 hours.
So I bought Ohuhu acrylic markers/pens and another brand (forget which one). And when I tried those, it soaked right into the paper when I tried doing my highlights after coloring.
So my question is…. How are you guys getting your acrylic pens to actually do the highlighting? I do the coco wyo type books, so it’s the thinner paper. But I’ve seen other people using the acrylic pens in the same books. I’m just confused as to why it soaked into the paper for me and doesn’t do that for anyone else?
Advice? Tips? Explanations?
Feel free to ask me any clarifying questions.
Thanks!

Any thoughts on this?
This was done with regular colored pencils, which I love. I just wish the white pencil would actually work for me. TIA for any tips.

Marker kits?
I'm doing a color by number book with markers. The book requires 24 colors. I'm kind of tired of buying kits of 50 markers just for those 24 colors. Is there a way to buy a kit somewhere with those specific colors? By the way, I dont care about fancy markers, I usually buy just the Crayola 50 packs.
Thanks

No Buy November, anyone?
Does anyone want to join me for "No Buy November?"
I've done WAYYYY too much hobby shopping the last couple of months and with Black Friday and the holidays (along with my birthday) coming up, I figured it's the perfect time to practice some self-discipline.😅
This will also be a great chance to explore the products and books I already own rather than always looking to the newer/better thing.
Anyone care to join? We can hold eachother accountable 😬
