Coloring Book Collection and Completed Pages Part 1
Hey sweetie, love your work!! I was wondering if you would take a hint from someone who watches a lot of these videos. Make sure your page is completely in the frame. There were several times when you had part of it cut off. I understand that there is a lot to learn and remember. You're doing great!! Keep up the great work!!
Great Video ❤
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
@@Dianedreamsincolor Your welcome 🤗
Wow, incredible Hanna Karlzon Steampunk lady spread. I like how different it is compare to other completed pages I've seen for it. I adore Grains of Gold book. Enjoyed the other pages as well. Enjoy how vibrant colors you choose too.
thanks so much. I loved coloring both those pages but I was nervous to color the portrait bc it was my favorite in the book. she is such a talented artist and Grains of Gold is my favorite.
Beautiful pages! Well done! I really enjoyed your explanation and i also love your voice and NY accent! ❤❤❤
hi Maia, thanks for the compliment on my pages and my voice. too funny 😂 that someone would need to reference Satan when hearing my voice or my accent! I couldn’t stop laughing for some time after that comment!
Beautiful pages! I especially like the Dunklebundt one and your ivy and the inky butterfly pages 💖 I use capcut to edit my videos (to add text and overlay pics) it's easy to use once you learn the basics and it's free. P.s. I think you have a lovely voice and accent. Thank you for sharing! 💕
I downloaded the CapCut app and will begin playing with it. Thanks for the recommendation and I’m glad you enjoyed the pages. 🙏
Those tomatoes!! Lol so good though 😆 all your pages are quite beautiful but we don't get to see a lot of them....the bottom of so many books was cut off camera. Loved the page in dunklebunt but again would love to have seen the whole page.Your voice seems normal to me btw 😂 not that that's the point....you handled it like a champion
I’m having such a problem with iMovie. When I film on my phone, everything is well in frame but when I load it onto iMovie it magnifies or something. I can’t seem to figure it out. I think I have to try another app to edit. I’m glad you liked it anyway. Thanks for sharing. Also I’m glad you don’t need to reference satan after hearing my voice. 🤣🤪 too funny!
OhMYGOD! I did a double page in that Daria book and I was over it halfway through. I should have taken a break and picked it back up another day. Beautiful pages! Thanks for sharing. :)
it took me days to do that spread! And you’re right, I was over it too. I was really sloppy in the end and just started using gel pens to fill in spaces. It is a beautiful book but it is challenging.
Loved your pages and your video 🌸🤗
Thamks so much 😊
Great work! Your voice has such an ASMR quality to it 🤗 and the paper sounds too
Thanks and I’m glad you don’t need to reference Satan after hearing my voice, lol. 😂
I Love your comment to the troll. I just started a channel and that was one of the things i worried about. Having tough enough skin. I love the way you handled it! I hope i can take your approach to that nonsense when it comes my way. New subscriber! I really liked your pages! Beautiful job! oh and donrt feel bad, i dont remember anything either! lol
Thanks so much! I don’t usually have a tough skin with people I care about but I know these people just want to hurt people. I keep reminding myself that it’s not about me at all. I think it’s funny that trolls do what they do. I mean why don’t they just get a hobby if they’re really bored..why get your jollies insulting people. That’s why it’s so funny to me. You will be okay and if you’re not, contact me and I’ll talk you off the ledge. 😋
Beautiful colouring pages hun thanks for sharing ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊xxxxxx
Thanks so much Kylie 🙏😊
Maybe you already know but you should always store markers flat. 😉
I think I was seriously the last one to learn this, lol. Thanks for sharing
All of the gorgeous reds you did! Those tomatoes are PERFECT! And the background of the Ivy book…stunning! I can’t get enough of that dead zombie like warrioress in Dunklebundt . But then again .. reds and devil women? Wouldn’t expect anything less from satan. 😅😂😅 Loved buddying with you!
well red is my favorite color if that’s any hint 🤣🤪. I still laugh every time I think of it. Too funny what some people write!
Very Beautiful Coloring Pages
Thanks so much Jamie 😊
Ok for the record I like your voice it has character and sounds happy and inviting. I cant stand internet trolls. They are very cowardly.
Thanks 😊 and the trolls are annoying but I think laughing at them is the best way to handle the situation. I just couldn’t understand the satan reference. Seriously the accent isn’t that bad that we need to call satan??? Too funny 😂
I recently bought a Derwent battery operated eraser. Was highly disappointed in the quality. I wasted money. I loved the Ohuhu brand but they no longer sell it on Amazon U.S. I was looking for a substitute and still haven't found it.
I’m glad you agreed. Most people have a very positive experience so we might have gotten defects but I’m not willing to buy another one to see if that was the problem. I bought a really inexpensive one from Afmat and it’s working well so far and I’ve had it just over a year now
Personally, I think R.J. Hampson should have taken the cost of a hard back and invested it in a higher quality paper. I love his artwork but his paper improvement didn't cut it for me so I've quit buying his books because of that.
agreed, I really thought that the paper quality would have been better because of the higher price but I guess you are right, it went into the hard cover instead of the paper.
It is so hard to color in the Disney book. I find it's hard with the paper, and my Prismas certainly don't agree with the paper. But it is still beautiful 🥰
Thanks and I agree it is an intimidating book and I think the smooth paper isn’t great for pencils.
Some good picks for next month! For the small picture in Amazone, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with leaving a large white background, the white itself can be the frame. Or, if you want to do a smaller background create a small square around the image using a ruler and use that to frame the image. You can also frame it with a smaller square or rectangle and have the image hang out over the border of the frame to create visual interest.
I love the idea of the frame! Thanks for the idea.
I think you can still color in AI books that you already bought.
It’s a tough decision though. I wish they stated somewhere that it’s ai before we buy it.
I sent u a dm on insta.
I’m glad you did 😊. I responded
Tooliarts xf cover black lines
does th for tear the paper at all? I bought the medium size and they do rip papers. lmk
Thanks for sharing! some great ideas in there!
Thanks if you ever want to do a buddy color just let me know
Thank you for your honest review. This have hand issues and this may not work out for me. Just wondering, did you sharpen before swatching?
I know I am supposed to but I didn’t bc I thought that they wouldn’t be returnable if I did. I hadn’t realized what an awful return policy Castle Arts has. Does sharpening make that much of a difference bc my hand was aching.
@@Dianedreamsincolorsupposedly there’s a wax layer that protects the pencils from breakage during shipping.
All right, I’ll give it a try and see what happens. I hope you’re right and it improves the pencils
Angela Harding carves and makes Lino prints. She’s so talented. I just got this book also because I thought even if I don’t color in it it will be wonderful just to have and certainly cheaper than buying her originals.
I agree. it’s a stunning book. I have a buddy color in august so I have to do something in it by then. I think watercolor would be a great media to use and I think the paper will be ok with some water. wish me luck 😂
I enjoyed seeing your pages thank you for sharing them with us.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you again 😊
Hi! Can you tell me where you got the Color Time book and the Sarah Ritcher book? Loving your channel! ❤
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I bought the Color Time book from Amazon US (here’s the link: www.amazon.com/dp/7514519408?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The Sarah Richter book was from Amazon UK (www.amazon.co.uk/Dunkelbunt-Coloring-Book-Sarah-Richter/dp/3969669030)
@@Dianedreamsincolor Thank you! 💜
I love that page by Sara Richter! What did you use to create that stunning gold? I would love to know your colour combo!
Thanks, that’s my favorite page I’ve ever colored. Like an idiot, I did not write down exactly which pencils I used but I did follow My Colourful Country Life do her Polychromos Metal Combos video that she did when I started coloring it. I just can’t remember if I did her Gold or Light Gold combo. Go check out her video and you’ll see the color combos of each. I also added some of the reflection colors which were not part of her video but it was just some dark red on the top. I hope this helps.
Love the Harding book! Perfect for watercolour washes and accents with pencils ( i imagine). ❤
I think starting with watercolor is a good idea. It’ll fit the images well.
I too recently got a book only to realize the errors in it meant it was a product of AI. I ended up getting a refund for it on Amazon as I was within the window to do so. I also had some ppl who didn't know otherwise gift me some AI books a while back. I considered using them as scrap paper/backing paper but when I went to Value Village the other day I just donated them. Someone else may not mind and the books may find another home, but as someone who shares pages online, and am against AI, I simply do not want to spend time and effort on such books. I have enough non-AI books I want to color in that I can feel proud of sharing with others after all!
I think I agree. I don’t feel comfortable coloring in it again. It does piss me off a bit that they don’t say it’s AI and we have to fish around for signs. As AI improves we will not be able to distinguish so easily. a lot of artists will lose their income.
I love the way Amelia came out❤❤❤
Thanks, I like her too!
That Angela Harding book just went straight into my cart ❤ ... it is beautiful!! Looking forward to the challenge of colouring it in, such a different book!!
it is gorgeous and the paper is nice. I just have to figure out how to color in it 🤭 If you want to do a buddy color when you get it, let me know!
@@Dianedreamsincolor ...oh glad to hear the paper is good!! Yes I am definately up for a buddy colour :) ... my book is arriving the 30th of July. As soon as it is in my hot little hands I will get in contact xx
Great let me know when you are ready 😆
OMG your voice makes my skin crawl. Not today Satan
your comments are so funny. It’s interesting that you keep watching my channel. 🤪 I’m curious why you need to setup a dummy account. If you are embarrassed of your comments then maybe you shouldn’t write them.
Cool Haul ❤
Thanks, it was a lot of books for me but I can’t wait to color in them.
Do one layer. Let it dry, and you can go over the lines again. Using light pressure also helps.
ooohhh so you let it dry before the second pass. no wonder mine all have that weird line in it bc I’m just going over it while it’s still wet. Thanks for the info!
Awesome haul! Enjoy ❤
Thank you! 🤗 I’m looking forward to working in the books.
The gap between the line on the white gel pen will go away if you don’t press too hard. Theres a ball that rolls and lets the ink flow when you press it pushes the ball up and stops the ink from coming down. Don’t press hard , just glide it on top of the paper, Ok back to watching
Being gentle is a challenge for me 🤭 but I will give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
If you like the images color in the book and considerate a lesson learned for the next time.
I really want to color a few of them 🤩 but I’m torn still. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏
A good way to tell AI art are the inconsistencies in the thickness of the lines. Also the lightness and darkenss of the lines. I purchased several books and my son said right away it was AI generated art.
they are getting better at it though. before we could tell by the hands but they are perfect in this book. they should be forced to label it as AI.
You did nice work. I think the Curiosity Shoppe really came out very nice.
Thanks, it’s such a different book than I’m used to coloring so I need to learn the best way to color it. maybe more watercolor next time?
Beautiful pages! Thank you for sharing 🥰
Thanks for watching 😊 Glad you liked them.
New subscriber 😊🖐 nice pages and love finding new colouring friends. I love your attitude to your troll 😂 that was awesome 😂😂 Could you possibly pull your book down a little. I don't think we got to see the top right hand part of any of your pages 😮
Thanks. Ever time I think of that person, I laugh 😂. Thanks for the recommendation but I am having some weird thing happening when I upload to iMovie. It all looks great on my phone but when I upload to iMovie it magnifies it and I lose tops or bottoms of the video. It’s so weird. Hopefully I figure it out soon 🤞
Hi! I'm new to your channel! So glad to find you. Congrats on the growth you've had this month on both your channel and IG! It's exciting to see those numbers regardless of how "big" a channel gets 😊. Your Thomas Kinkade page is lovely and such a great interpretation of the page. You're so brave to take it on. ❤ beautiful coloring pages!
Thanks so much! The Disney Page was crazy hard but I’m glad I kept going and also that I gave up on the perfectionism. I’m glad you liked the video 😊 thanks again
Love watching your videos
That’s so sweet. Thanks so much 😊
I really enjoyed our buddy colour and look forward to do more in the future. I think you are so right to let go of trying to replicate the Thomas Kincaid pictures - I think they are oil paintings originally? It’s going to be really difficult to replicate the same effects in any other medium. I think you are the first person I’ve ever heard happy to have a troll 😂
Thanks Jackie! Lol, I couldn’t believe how funny I found the sarcastic comments about my complaining during my regrets video. I guess the word regret is relative? I still laugh every time I think about it. Too funny!
@@Dianedreamsincolor 😁
With your serendipity book try using clear geso as a base covering before colouring, normally works well
Thanks for the recommendation. Someone else recommended Golden clear glaze medium. Not sure if that was the exact name but it was a glaze. I will need to look up the difference between these two bc I’m not too sure what either is used for. Thanks again
@Dianedreamsincolor yes that was my other thought but I couldn't remember the name of it & as soon as I read your reply thought "that was it" lol
Hi, most acrylic markers are to be stored flat and not standing.
I think I was the only one who didn’t know this 🤣 Thanks for the tip
Where the wildflowers grow are more Australian flowers I think
The flowers are beautiful. It’s just too repetitive unfortunately.
Very Pretty Coloring Pages
Thanks, it was a good month😊
@@Dianedreamsincolor Your welcome
Beautiful pages Diane 😍 I really loved the bottles from the curiosity shoppe! The effort really paid off with the end result! 💕💕💕
Thanks so much! 😊It was such a hard page to color!
