I got a new colouring book.

This is from Mythogoria: Darkest Desires by Fabiana Attanasio. Pencil colouring by me.

Oil on cardboard-paper

If you pros have tips and tricks on how to improve next time, I’m glad to hear it. (Like, if you see that I have comited a sin)

Freehand oil, I sure have a hard time with the eyes, gotta work on that.

AKA someone trusted me with a button maker for some reason.

Most of the buttons use paper that I handmade with dip pen and ink to do the actual art itself.

The exception being John who uses normal paper and a normal pen. I thought it would be humorous to make him the least interesting of the group but in doing so, that inherently makes him the most interesting.

Buttons shown:

Biggie Cheese Pneumonia - Go piss girl

John - Ibis Alba

Us - Hug Me Now Strawberry

Intentionally Left Blank - Totally Me When

Sonic Shadow - DEI Amy Rose

Hi! I can’t draw to save my life, but since I discovered colouring books (I didn’t know they had them for adults, and especially I didn’t know they made non-mandala ones!!!) I’ve been feeling like a kid again.

I’m even using the same coloured pencils I bought and carried around since primary school.

I used Staedler Pencil Noris Colours and Royal Talens colour pencils, both packs of 24 colours.

So my message to any person that itches to create something but feels that it’s a huge task (I got overwhelmed drawing), please do give colouring books a chance.

You can get nice colours for little money (I paid 7€ for the Royal Talens pack) and the books themselves aren’t particularly expensive, especially if you are slooooow colouring like I am.

Don’t be afraid to try something new, and don’t let your age stop you from choosing cute books with huge drawings. Paint rainbows, colour flowers, take your time drawing sunglasses on the sun!!!
