New coloring book in the works

in #art7 years ago

And this time I'm going for a retro floral shape-gasm kind of thing:

I draw them in pencil first, then ink them in with some nice pens bought for me by my sweetie @carlgnash.

Then I make a photocopy & do a test run to make sure I haven't forgotten any lines & everything works.
I colored this one & decided it needed more detail:

My other page that I'm really excited about is @coloringbook where I share coloring pages that I've done over the last few years. It's also a place for others to share their color-able art, so if you're at all into that kind of thing, check it, you know... :)
As soon as I get these pages cleaned up, I'll post them over there!

And here's one more but the lighting is weird & I hadn't started using the good markers for the line work yet, so I'll be redoing it before putting it up.

Thanks for looking y'all!!

Really nice bold stylized shapes, these look like they would be really fun to color. I can't wait to see these scanned in properly and cleaned up! Awesome post <3 <3 <3

Thank you! I can't wait for you to clean 'em up for me! <3 <3 <3 <3

Interesting! Are you designing them for others to color in? Or more for your enjoyment?

I'm actually not that great at coloring! I draw them to get that creative urge out but am more than happy to have friends & family color them for me. They turn out so much better! :)

Are you selling them? Coloring books are so popular right now and I like what you do....

Thank you so much! I do have one book out on the self-publishing site Lulu:

for $12 called "Bird Love" that I did after my first son was born. I hope to put the next one up there, too :)

good to know!!
