Say Hello on Social:IG: bribustamante

Here’s a little about my pages: The pencils used were the polychromos of faber castell, use the warm tones and diffusion technique to use the wide range of colors you have. Also use Posca markers in white to make the points that are in the background.

 

 

amberlovescoloring, USA

Favourite Colouring Tools: Shinhan Touch and Prismacolor Markers, Gelly Roll pens for highlights, Copic Multiliners for the extra floral drawings

Favourite Colour: Right now, probably coral. Maybe magenta.

Here’s a little about my pages: For these pages I used Shinham Touch Markers. In a few spots I added some sparkley bits with gelly roll gel pens. I didn’t use any particularly fancy techniques, but on the second page I decided to add a vine of sorts. I used floral bits from some of your other books to piece something together that I thought fit well.
The color pallet is based around the queen dragon, which is purple and magenta. The rest just fell in place from there.

Here’s a little about my pages: I have all of your coloring books but Inky Butterfly is not one of it yet at this moment. I love the pages being chosen for me because flowers and butterflies are indeed my favourite object to color.
There is no special techniques beside color blending on these pages.

Favourite Colouring Tools: Colour pencils, Fineliners, Markers, Felt tip pens, would love to attempt watercolour

Say Hello on Social: IG: vie_muthu

Here’s a little about my pages: I used mainly prismacolour pencils for these pages.
Added some fineliners (staedtler triplus), gold glitter pen and a white posca pen for highlights.
I wanted to make these two pages as a set. Hence, I’ve used same exact colours for the drawings and backgrounds. I wanted to connect these pages toegther and brought them together as one.
Background with soft pastels.
Buuterfly was main attraction so it was done in glitters!!

Here’s a little about my pages: I let my upcoming wedding under the stars inspire my pages.
I used watercolour pencils for the backgrounds.

mtalbac, USA

Favourite Colouring Tools: Anything! But pencils, paint, and markers are my most common tools.

Favourite Colour: All Colors, I could never pick, I love them all!

Say Hello on Social: IG: mtalbac

Here’s a little about my pages: I colored these pages primarily with colored pencils, across the whole spectrum of quality. Prisma, Carola and Poly’s.
It was hard to decide a palette at first, but I wanted something to tie the pages together. So rainbow it was!
The raised butterflies came about as I wanted black on black on the open page. I transferred the right hand image and used a fine line tip nozzle on bottled paint and traced over.

Here’s a little about my pages: I love complementary colors. Although I did not quite keep it that way. I wanted to make it something exciting and mystical / magical, like from a childs book. These are my favourite colors all included. I also drew something by myself. I often like to do that.
I used FC Polychromos, pastel crayons, Staedtler and Pigment Liner. I only blend with colors, no blender. I love to do something 3D look.

 

 

Tamara, Austria

Favourite Colouring Tools: I really like coloured pencils. I have the Faber Castell watercolour pencils, but at the moment I like plain watercolours best, because of the beautiful effects you can create.

Favourite Colour: I love pastel colours like a light pink or a patel-live-green and I absolutely love gold.

Say Hello on Social: Blog: www.federafuchs.at (I mostly write about my bullet journal, but also about some doodles and drawings that I do)

Here’s a little about my pages: I like to pick just a few colours for a picture instead of colouring in all the colours of the rainbow.

The black and white picture is coloured in watercolour and the other picture with the Faber Castell watercolour pencils.

 

 

Susan, UK

Favourite Colouring Tools: Colour Pencils

Favourite Colour: Red

Say Hello on Social: 

Here’s a little about my pages: I used prismacolor, pablo, derwent, coloured pencils, a glitter gel pen for the jewellry on the dragon. I wanted the dragon bright and colourful and it to look like shes looking in to the dark tunnel from her castle. I sued layering and brushing techniques, and tried to keep the colours for the castle as close to real castle colours as I could.

Staedtler Triplus Fineliners
Prismacolour Pencils
Spectrum Noir Sparkle Brush Pens
Aen glitter gel pens
Sakura black Fine Liner

Tunnels Page:
As above, plus Caran D’ache pastel pencils

Marianne, USA

Favourite Colouring Tools: Prismacolor Premier Coloured Pencils, White Gelly Roll Gel Pen or clear glitter, Pan Pastels for backgrounds

Favourite Colour: Purple though I do love pink and teal

Say Hello on Social: 

Here’s a little about my pages: I used my prismacolor premier pencils and while I didn’t follow a palette, I wanted the picture to reflect me so that’s how I came to a purple, teal and pink dragon. Since the story talks of finding the door under a tapestry in the dungeon I wanted it to be brick. All the dragons have gold scales, after all this is Enchantia!

 

 

artsyveganmum, Canada

 Favourite Colouring Tools: Prismacolor Premier Pencils, Uniball Signo White Pen, Micron Black Pens

Favourite Colour: Prismacolor ‘Parma Violet’ PC 1008

Say Hello on Social: IG: artsyveganmum, TW: Artsyveganmum

Here’s a little about my pages: In the beginning Ivy thought she saw only on ebutterfly, but at the end, two! I knew I had to use a similar palatte with slight differences for both butterflies. I used prismacolor with purple/violet and aqua/blue hues. I carefully applied a gold leaf embellishment on both. Pastel Chalk was used for the background.

 

 

Laylabeecolours, Holland

 Favourite Colouring Tools: Polychromos Pencils, Posca Pens, Gel Pens

Favourite Colour: Green

Say Hello on Social: IG: Laylabeecolours

 Here’s a little about my pages: I like to colour as realistic as possible with some embellishment. I used polychromos pencils, posca and gel pens. The gold frame was done using only 5 pencils for the page. Also some pens for sparkly effect.
I tried to colour the ladybird true to the books description. Blending was done with other colours rather than a blending pencil to keep it soft.
