The coloring continues. Still working on the Mythographic Animals coloring book. This is mostly Prismacolor pencils with some of the Castle Arts for the background. I continue to fight with the paper itself because you can see it doesn’t like layers of color so, in the background for example, there’s spots where it literally won’t blend. 
The paper quality is fine, but not for heavy layering and blending.

I love all the pencil work @PhoenixFireDesigns, even if the paper doesn’t want to cooperate. I’ve been stuck on a WIP of doom that I don’t even like anymore, but my brain insists I must push through and finish. There’s light at the end of the tunnel though - just a few more details to finish before I can never look at it again.

So irritating when something that’s supposed to be fun turns into a chore!

Aw, I’ve been there. Crafty wishes for a swift finish! 
And of course, I HAD to make the ice cream a Dole Whip! 
And, aw, thanks! It’s been nice just letting my brain focus on something different the past week or so.

Alright, pushed through the WIP-that-shall-not-be-named and have a finish for National Coloring Day!
It’s from Colorit’s “Colors of the Decades”.

Such great pages. The paper might be giving you fits @PhoenixFireDesigns but the end results are gorgeous!

I started a page in a new coloring book. Using gelli roll moonbeam pens. That’s supposed to be a dark purple but it looks brown in the pic.

Started a new page the other day after not coloring for a month or so. Didn’t finish, but here’s the start anyway.

After a rough week, where both cars decided to break down six days apart, I needed some coloring therapy. So I did this quick piece from Johannas Christmas book. Just simple Ohuhu markers and a quick, couple hours total this evening. I was trying to make a lighter/whiter one but…picked the wrong color so I had to go with it. Wasn’t supposed to be so peachy. Oh well, still accomplished the point of getting out of my head for a little bit.

So a couple nights ago, I wanted to color a little bit. Then I wound up coloring for like 6 hours straight. Whoops.
I started, just kept going, and then it got to a point where I just wanted to finish it. So I colored all the characters, then filled in the entire background and added some pops with a white gel pen to complete it.
Ohuhu alcohol markers with white gel pen accent from the Johanna’s Christmas coloring book.

I did that with putting together a puzzle once. “I’ll just start this and relax for a little,” I said, and then stayed up basically all night…
You have rather more to show for it than I did, since the puzzle is now put away again.

Haven’t had a lot of time for anything since the holidays (currently organizing a cross-country move so I can help raise my nieces), but I found the tine this weekend to finish this one:
I’m quite happy with how it came out (though to be fair, I love just about anything that I get to use mica paint on 
)

Now this was educational. It was very interesting to see so many coloring pages brought to life with the various mediums. COOL!
