Does anyone else like doing a practice run before coloring the actual page in their book?

I like printing or copying a page first so I can treat it like a rough draft. It gives me a chance to experiment with color palettes, shading, and different techniques before I commit to the real page. 😅

This is my current work in progress, and I'd love to hear what you all think! I'm constantly second-guessing myself and changing my mind, so I'd really appreciate any feedback.

Do you see anything you would change? Any suggestions for improving the shading, color choices, contrast, or overall look? I'm always looking to learn and improve, so don't be afraid to share your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Trying my new Ohuhu journaling pens and to get solid coverage I did several layers but the paper began to pill (pink cloud on the bottom right and directly behind the dog) so I applied clear gesso to the rest of the image to compare and I like it even less. I have been spoiled by my alcohol markers but I’m trying to revisit other mediums. So tell me what the problem is? The markers, the paper (not great, this is the “It’s the Little Things coloring book by creative Paula), or me? Is there a difference method/ technique? Help and advice appreciated.

BUDDY COLOR!! MAY

Welcome to our monthly buddy color collaborations!

***What is a "Buddy Color"?***

A buddy color is a collaboration where you and other people color the same page or theme together, as a project.

The purpose of this monthly post is to help you connect with others who are looking for a buddy coloring collaboration.

You can use the comments section here to join or create a collaboration!

***How to find a buddy:***

- Search the comments for someone who has suggested book(s)/page(s)/theme(s) you are interested in, and respond.

- Post a comment suggesting the book(s)/page(s)/theme(s) you would like to color with others.

Once you've found your collaborators, you can organize among yourselves when/how you want to share your pages with each other and the sub. If you are not sure, don’t be afraid to ask! Everyone here is friendly and this is a no-judgement zone.

Many organizers will post a gallery at the end of the month, to make it easy to flip through the pages and see back-to-back, what the group came up with.

Feel free to use the comments section here, connect via DM on Reddit, or use the sister [Discord](https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoringCozy/s/As4vym3JBt) to work out the details of sharing your pages.

***Can we post our completed pages?***

We definitely want to see your pages! Don’t forget to use the ***"Buddy Color" flair***! and if posting a gallery, tag your buddies by username in the comments! (Tags only work in comments, for some reason).

***Is there a deadline?***

Some collaborations have a monthly deadline, and others are ongoing; these are some of the details the organizer and group can decide among themselves.

***What if I don't own the book/page?***

To participate in a buddy colour, you need to own the page you are colouring. ***Do not make copies of a page and distribute it.*** This violates copyright laws and harms creators. If you do not own the page, please purchase it yourself.

Several buddy color groups use pages made freely available by the artist, that everyone can access.

***I am an artist. Can I share books/pages I have drawn?***

For buddy colors, you can provide a link to free downloadable page(s) you have created. However, please do not use the sub just as a sales platform. See our rule about self-promotion, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoringCozy/about/rules

***Alternative Buddy Ideas***

Don’t want to choose a specific page or just want some variety? Here are some other ways you can buddy color collaboratively:

- Choose or create a color palette that everyone will use, on their different pages

- Create a buddy color collaboration to raise awareness about a cause; here is one list of color options: https://theawarenesscompany.com/pages/your-guide-to-awareness-ribbon-color-meanings

- Choose a theme (i.e. “Winter,”“Cats,” “Mushrooms,” “Frogtober,” “Stained glass,” “Nighttime,” etc.)

- Feel free to browse our past Weekly Challenges and Monthly Themes in our wiki for more ideas!

I had a bit of a difficult time the last couple of weeks so I decided to get back into coloring! Father’s Day and his deathiversary in the same week were super not fun. These helped. Especially doing my best to bring the lovely Megara to life 😍 Please enjoy!
