All of my recent colouring pages I have done (please be kind I have just started) what do you think I could work on? :)

So much for “small victories”. I started this one in January!

Nothing but Prismacolors for this one, and a limited color palette. I kept getting burned out and taking long breaks to do other pages but I finally finished this one! I am proud of how it came out.

Using sharpie markers, pencils and gel pens in the coloring book Oceans to Stars by Lydia Fenwick

Alright so here we got Mer-may, Fantastical Creatures Buddy Color, and Nautical May-flower Buddy color! I used Alcohol markers for basing and then Prismacolor colored pencils, and acrylic markers! I drew in the cover, ocean, sky, and beach. I’m posting my start to finish progress pics!

Tried out the rainbow challenge.

From the coloring book Oceans to Stars by Lydia Fenwick

This is for the book KALEIDOMORPHIA Celebrating Kerby Rosanes's Coloring Challenges

As the title implies this is a collection of different illustrations from his morphia series. If you have any of those books and purchased this one you will recognize a few of the illustrations.

The front few pages are beautiful glossy depictions of some of the illustrations done by coloring hobbyist like us. (Instagram) The uncolored version is included later in the book. The implication is the colored pages are the challenges.

I will say that Kerby Rosanes is one of my favorite artists and this book is no different in that regard. Each illustration is rich in detail and imagination. I can easily see myself spending days on the two page spreads.

The physical aspect of the book is good for the most part with some dissapointments. The paper is a card stock that immediately feels like quality. However the images are double sided not single sided so using pens or markers might be risky despite the card stock.

The images also extend into the binding wich is maddening when trying to color and a pet peeve of mine. They also extend to the absolute end of the page on some images. It goes without saying the pages are not perforated either.

All in all if your a Kerby fan this is a good find!

Be Colorful!

I had so much fun colouring this one.
I went for black and gold because I wanted it to look dramatic and elegant… and of course I had to add a matching mantón 🖤✨

Really happy with how it turned out!

What colours would you have used?
