Hi Guys, TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY: Make sure you subscribe, like and post a comment with the information below: 1.ENTER 2.Tell me what made you want to start your colouring journey? Good luck! 💓
ENTER!! Congratulations!!! Love your videos!! I got into coloring because I have always loved craft stuff, scrapbooking, ect. Coloring was just another hobby to add to the list. But I love to learn new skills.
ENTER: I was diagnosed with breast cancer and was driving myself insane with worry. I saw some adult coloring examples on Pinterest and soon went down the coloring rabbit hole. Coloring helped me channel my worry into a creative outlet.
First off congratulations! Your channel certainly deserves it. ENTER: I started coloring in 2016 completely by accident. Walked into a gaming store which had Johanna's books for sale and picked up Lost Ocean on a whim. I didn't even know adult coloring was a thing. But then I started coloring and enjoyed it so much. Started watching UA-cam videos, Peta Hewitt was the first colorist I started watching and it just grew from there.
ENTER-I started my colouring journey because I absolutely love colour and the peace and serenity it brings me. It has taken me out of years of depression and anxiety and for that I am so grateful. Well done on 10,000 subs.
ENTER - I started coloring after I bought a friend a get-well gift of a small book of mandalas and markers to help her pass the time while recovering from knee surgery. Congratulatoins on the new milestone.
ENTER. Congrats Shelley, well deserved. I have always liked crafty stuff however it wasnt until a few years ago that I invested in a decent electric sharpener and realised that colouring could be actually enjoyable being able to get a decent point on my pencils and hence followed the start of my collection.
ENTER. I started my coloring journey when I was diagnosed with lupus nephritis and myelomylacia of the cervical spine. I am now stage 5. Coloring really helps . Love your videos, Shelli.
ENTER....I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, especially your amazing completed pages! A big congrats 👏 I have tried many hobbies over the years but nothing has been more therapeutic than colouring to deal with ongoing stress, anxiety and depression.
ENTER - I started colouring after coming across a Johanna Basford book in my local newsagent. I've always loved stationery, drooled over coloured pencils but wasn't artistic except for a reasonable sense of colour. Having the amazing books that are available now lets me indulge in using colour and give me a creative outlet. Congratulations Shel. Love your channel. 😃
ENTER I started at the beginning of the pandemic because I worked in an industry that I knew would be the last thing to open and I'd have time to learn. I still colour and paint (and diamond paint!) every day, it's been a blessing and life changing for me - thanks so much for all the effort you put into your colouralongs and channel
Enter! Congratulations to you for 10K subscribers I have always loved to color, but had switched to iPad apps while I was still working. I had such limited time and that allowed me to be somewhat creative. A few years ago I finally retired and then the following year my mother passed away. I found myself needing to occupy my mind and wanting to have a creative outlet. Also I love learning new things. Enter coloring books and learning how to color 😊 I got serious about coloring last December. So my journey has just begun, December 2023, and I have so much to learn 😊 thank you for your channel and all the help you have given me.
ENTER I started adult colouring as a stress reliever. I enjoy watching colourists on UA-cam because they do more than I ever could on a page lol Congrats on your amazing milestone!
ENTER I watch your videos constantly. I have learned so much from watching them. Just an amateur colorist for now but am really absorbing the information my husband says I do great work so far. You inspire me to want to open a book all the time and try new things. I bought my Albrecht Durers (36 for now) because of you. I absolutely love them they are amazing. Keep up the great content and I will continue the journey. Big Love from Canada.
ENTER Congratulations on 10k!!! Your pages are always so beautiful and I love watching your colour alongs. I’ve learnt so much from you and enjoy your channel immensely. My colouring journey started when I was given two johanna basford books and a packet of gel pens as a gift from a dear friend after my baby boy passed away in 2020. Colouring initially for me was a way to distract myself from my sadness but also allowed me to express emotions in a way that words couldn’t. The hobby has evolved for me in the years that followed and I now have a few other books and supplies but Colouring will always be something that I associate with my son.
ENTER Congratulations on your 2year channel anniversary. I got into colouring, as I started watching people doing stamping and colouring their images and sharing techniques. I then developed a love for coloured pencils, which I never liked as a child. It's also good for my focus and calming my mind.
Enter!! Thank you for the opportunity! I’m dying to try both sets of those paint pens 😊! I started coloring back in 2015 when my dad was terminally ill & I was in the hospital room with him a lot. I didn’t want to bother him with the tv so a sweet nurse suggested coloring! I’d always loved it as a child so I thought why not. I’m in a slump this year unfortunately but I’ve got a new set of Albrecht dürers to try out now so I’ll be doing one of your amazing color a longs!! Thanks again for all that you do & congrats on 10,000 subs! 🎉❤😊
ENTER I came across coloring when needing something to replace my beloved knitting due to a hand issue. I love the endless learning of different mediums, and seeing others work. Congratulations on your milestone!!! 🥳🎉 ❤️
ENTER Congratulations on your 2 year Anniversary. I really enjoy watching the channel. I've always loved coloring but I really started getting truly into it was when I saw all the possibilities of the colored pencils and then I was hooked. It is totally relaxing and meditative.
ENTER !!!! Congratulations 🎉 on 10k & 2 years of fab videos ❤ I got into colouring as a way to calm down and help my anxiety and it has helped so so much but so does watching yours and all the other lovely colourists on here , currently having art block so something new to colour with and in may help so fingers crossed 🤞 thank you for all you do on your channel 😊
ENTER. Congratulations 🎊. Hmm.. not sure how I stumbled on my coloring journey. But I truly love it as a creative outlet. Love your channel and coloring style. ❤
ENTER !! Congratulations! Your videos are absolutely lovely, thank you for sharing your work and lovely ideas with all of us. I always liked art. Watercolours, alcohol markers and pencil crayons were my sketch book fillers 🥺🤣 and then I started using wreck this journal as an artist block tool for inspiration and then my brother passed away in 2016. I lost all interest completely and after a long battle with depression and dissociation a friend one day suggested picking up my art stuff again. I stayed isolated for a very long time but colouring slowly made me see the brightness in the world again. Long story short, it helped me through a lot
ENTER! I remember being at the local book shop with my mum and seeing a small selection of colouring books (amongst which secret garden) circa 2015. My mum commented that it would be such a good hobby for me! I started and really got into it about a year later when I found pencils that worked well with the paper (polychromos). Ive been colouring since as a creative outlet. Love your videos!
ENTER - Congratulations Shelly! I started my coluring journey 2 years ago to relax after my work. Now I cannot to stop because I love it. I bought Albrech Dúrer pencils and Tooli Art paint pens because of you and adore them ❤. Thanks for the channel. You and your coloring are amazing 😊
ENTER. Hi everyone, started coloring after seeing my mother's coloring pages and wanting to give it a go myself. Reminds me of how she taught me to color as a child- great bonding time then and now. Good luck to everyone.
ENTER. I always loved colouring and used to have just a book and a pack of textas. Then one day I saw a video on YT about adult colouring and different techniques to make your colouring better .... and that was it - I was hooked! I started getting supplies and trying different techniques and I just love it. This week for the first time ever, I painted with metallic watercolours on a page to highlight areas. I'm so happy with it!! PS. Congratulations on your channel success! I love watching your videos and looking at your beautiful pages.
ENTER 🎉!! When I was a kid I loved colouring and drawing. My favourite coloured pencils were Berol Canadiana! Lol not sure if they were only a Canadian brand but every time I would open that box of pencils I would get lost in my own world. I’ve always wanted to get back to it, and after starting watching UA-cam videos on colouring, I decided to take the plunge! I love your style and I aspire to become a beautiful colourist like you some day ❤
ENTER - I started colouring last year as a way of relaxing and disconnecting. Looking back it has very well served its purpose, although I'm hooked in this new hobby 🥰🥰 Thank you very much for your videos Shelly 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Shelly, ENTER ✏ Colouring for me is an escapism from life and something I always enjoyed as a child with my sisters. Many times sat at my mums tiled coffee table with books and pens out, never left me really. Congratulations on the 2nd year anniversary and a thank you for your all your videos. Good luck to everybody Jey xx
ENTER Congratulations!! Well I always enjoyed coloring as a kid already, and I found back to it a couple years ago! It is just so much fun! I love the community and Iltis a Great way for me to relax!
ENTER! And Congratulations! I loved all kinds of arts and crafts but wanted something that I can do in the living room with the family around, and something I could pick up and put down easily without it affecting my project. Also something that doesn't have to be a huge financial commitment. Coloring ticks all the right boxes and I love it
ENTER I started because I felt like I was in an art rut. I'm an artist, but I had fallen out of love with drawing and working on art. So I figured coloring books were a good adjacent way to get back into working on art without so much pressure (for making merch and 'sellable' art), and the AI 'art' surgence was making me sad, and getting back into traditional art was my way of fighting back against that. It's become a lot more than that over the year and a half I've been coloring now, since I started my own channel and color basically on a daily basis now!
ENTER - I started my coloring journey after I realized how much I struggled with artist's block sometimes, especially since I'm in doctorate school, and I needed a way to get out my creative energy in a productive way! I didn't even really realize about the adult coloring community until I found your channel, and I was able to really connect with your art style (especially in the kerby rosanes books!)
Congratulations Shelly! ENTER you are one of the biggest reasons I started! The coloring community is awesomeness! Thank you for all you give this community! 😍
ENTER! Hi Shel, love watching all your videos. You're coloring is amazing! I've learned so much. I started coloring 2 and a half years ago after retiring and losing my husband to cancer not long after. It has been a life saver and has helped my mental health and filled my lonely days. I usually watch coloring videos while I color. Love you. Keep the videos coming g!
ENTER I started my coloring journey about 1 year ago just after my dad passed. It was a way for me to maintain some creativity during the hardships of life and cope with the stress it can bring. I love seeing pages fill with beautiful colors! It brings me so much joy to play with beautiful art and coloring supplies! Coloring book are so wonderful because I feel as if I am working on a canvas filled with lovely art from another artist! Congratulations!!! You bring so much joy to the coloring community! You are a truly wonderful artist but even more than that you bring smiles to a lot of people! ❤ Wishing you so much happiness and even more success!!!
Enter. I have colored all my life as well as some painting (pictures, rocks, sweatshirts). About 20 years ago I started coloring mandalas with markers to try and hone my color sense (I have six books of the same mandalas filled up). On my birthday about 15 years ago my sister gave me Secret Garden and a box of Verithins I didn’t know adult coloring books existed and were a fad. I now have hundreds of books in my “Art” collection and it brings me endless joy!
ENTER I started coloring when my dad was in the hospital. It helped to pass the time while I was sitting next to his bed and it reduced my stress level. I continue to color because I love it so much. I really enjoy pushing myself to learn new things. I really love coloring along with you because of that. Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary and your ten thousand subscribers. Much Love, ❤❤❤
ENTER.....congrats on your 2 years!!! What a fun giveaway. I got into coloring a few years ago just for fun. Now its like my sanity! I get lost in my coloring and before I know it.... hours have passed. It was for fun, became a great stress reliever and now borders on addiction haha. Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck everyone.
I want to ENTER the give away!! I started my coloring journey during recovery from surgery and a health emergency. It really helped to keep my mind and body at rest and I loved the process. My skills and inspiration for coloring have definitely improved from seeing your amazing work, and other talented colorists. So, I am taking this opportunity to thank you very much for sharing your work with the coloring community. I've started buying the books from your videos so that I can follow along and continue to improve!❤❤
ENTER. I became disabled...my back and neck are a mess..also I i I suffer with depression and anxiety so..... i need things that i enjoy doing that i can do at my pace....coloring, crochet, and cross stitch....i just realized this "the 3 C's"...lol. thank you for sharing so much with us❤❤
ENTER! I am so happy for you!!! My coloring journey started under the pandemic. My mental Health was not on top at the moment, but i found coloring wire teraputic. 4 years later i still use coloring as therapy which gives me so much Joy❤️
1. ENTER 2. I injured myself in 2014 & got advice that colouring is a good diversion tactic to pain. It opened a whole world of art appreciation for me. Congratulations on 10K in 2 years, what a feat. Your selections for your giveaway are perfect & very generous of you. Good luck everyone 🤞
ENTER. I've only been colouring for 4 weeks and have 2 books. It's a good way to unwind and destress. I'm not the best at colouring, just yet, but love the helpful videos. Congratulations on the 2 year anniversary and thank you for the fantastic giveaway x
ENTER, congratulations on your two year!! I love your channel, love how you color with such vibrant colors, I enjoy following all your color alongs, I also love using the Albert Durers pencil as well. They make a huge difference in the shadows after activating them. Thank you for all your work.
ENTER - I've always loved to color since I was a child. Even as a pre-teen back in the '70s, they had "adult" coloring books - mainly mandalas and geometric designs. Me and my mom would have a set of felt tip markers and color away. Then time went on and one day back in 2018 I noticed a FB friend had a picture she had done. Made me look up coloring books for adults and wow, whole new world of books - nothing like I had in the 70's. That started the rebirth of my coloring. Thanks much for the giveaway - very generous and kind of you!
ENTER- started colouring nearly two years ago. Over the last year it has become a proper passion and hobby and helped with through a bad spell of anxiety.
Thank you, Shel, for sharing your amazing coloring talent with the world. I’m always inspired by your videos. 1. ENTER 2. I was introduced to coloring at an inpatient mental health facility...I deal with depression. I found I loved coloring trees. About a year later I began watching YT videos and buying books. I colored sparingly over the years and only recently made it a real hobby that I love. Congratulations and best wishes to you!! 🎉❤🎉
ENTER. I love your coloring, the bright bold colors….I like it most when you use your Albrecht Durer pencils. I got into coloring so I could learn how to blend colors better for when I draw Zentangle.
ENTER - I have always been into art and would consider myself a creative person. I was doing a lot of drawing back when I started coloring. I would still color in kids coloring books from time to time as well. I picked up coloring immediately once I became aware adult coloring books were available. Congrats on your two year anniversary and 10K subscribers! Fantastic milestone! Thank you for hosting the giveaway! 💖
ENTER! I love reading everyone's stories! I was on maternity leave with my first kid when I randomly saw a coloring book in store. It had floral motives and I like flowers so I picked it up, thinking I probably won't even touch it. It's 2 years later now and I'm still very much into it with lots of books and supplies 😂
ENTER I've always love colors and when the coloring books for adults became a thing here in my country I had to start to help out with my stress and anxiety. So I did bought one and did not stop since them. I do have some blocks for a few months but always go back to them. Nothing relax me more than my favorite playlist and my coloring pencil and books. Congrats on your 2 years and 10k, you deserve it! Your pages always turn out AMAZING!
ENTER My husband passed in March of 2022, and I needed to find something to fill some of my time. I found adult coloring from watching youtube videos and I was hooked. I have been watching for some time now and really enjoy your art everything is so beautiful. I think it is great that you have reached 10,000 subscribers and two years of videos.
Enter! 🌸 my coloring journey started probably around 2015-2016. I was only 11 at that time, but adult coloring books (especially Millie Marotta's and Johanna Basford's) were very popular. We used to exchange them with my elementary school friends, color a page and leave a cute dedication note inside 🥹 I abandoned coloring for a few years, but recently I got back into the hobby and I'm enjoying it so much! I found my old "Secret Garden" and started to look for inspiration on Pinterest. And that's how I came across your channel in the beggining of 2022! Your videos make me so inspired, I really look up to you and it makes me happy to see your channel growing 🥰
ENTER: I have enjoyed coloring all of my life. Over the years I think I colored in my kids coloring books more than they did. I really got into adult coloring 10 years ago while going through a difficult divorce after almost 30 years of marriage. Coloring is where I go to relax and take my mind off my problems. Congratulations on your anniversary and hitting 10000 subscribers.
ENTER Congratulations and Happy 2nd Anniversary!! I remember back about 7 years ago, I found some Windsor and Newton alcohol markers in the clearance section at Michaels. I had never heard of those types of markers, so I began looking them up on youtube and ran across the color community. I was hooked immediately, and a "coloring monster" began to grow.
ENTER please! I began coloring around the pandemic, and I’ve really enjoyed learning new skills, trying new books and products, and watching UA-cam videos. Thanks for sharing your talent and company with us, and congratulations on hitting 10k subscribers!
ENTER I started my coloring journey a little over a year ago. I've always loved art and crafts stuff and I was just browsing on UA-cam. I clicked on a recommended video and it was a color along with My Colorful Country Life in a Johanna Basford book. That started it all for me and I was hooked on coloring! I stayed up until 3 am that night watching coloring videos! I remember watching My Colorful Country Life, then I found your channel, Coloring with K, Lucy Just Adds Color, and Chris Cheng! The next day I went on Amazon and bought colored pencils and some books and I haven't stopped coloring since!
ENTER. As a child I drew and painted every day. As I grew up my fantasy decreased and my self critisism increased so I stopped with my hobby...In 2015 I got my first coloring book and I got the joy of creativity back! And you are my favourite UA-camr❤
Congratulations, Shelly, for your 10K! You deserve each and every one of them! Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway , it's as special as the first one. I don't have any of the books or supplies in the giveaway, so imagine my fingers, so crossed it hurts. 😂 So, by all means, ENTER, please. I started colouring about 8 years ago, when I bought a simple colouring book from a store. I almost forgot about it up until the pandemic, when I started again and now wild horses couldn't keep me from it... 😂 I'm glad social media help us all contact each other, this is a wonderful community.
ENTER. Congratulations 🎉. I’ve always colored ever since I was a little girl. I’ve colored with my children as they grew up and I’ve colored with my grandchildren as they’ve grown up. It’s something I’ve just done and enjoyed. Thank you so much for the give away and you doing all the videos you do. I appreciate it all. Enjoy your day! 🤗💕
ENTER, so very well deserved your colouring is amazing. I originally got into adult colouring during COVID, it was something I’d done as a teenager and I thought I’d have another go, so I grabbed some Staedtler Norris pencils and a zen colouring book but I then discovered all the wonderful colourists like yourself on You Tube and I knew I needed better supplies 😊. So I got some castle art pencils and worlds within worlds and I was hooked.
ENTER I´ve always been a creative person "stuck" in a non-creative job. I´ve tried so many different creative hobbies (crochet, miniature painting, sowing and even diamond painting) to try and get my creative side stimulated. But having kids and pets and therefore always needing to put everything away as soon as I leave the project seemed to make the effort not worth it (like cleaning brushes for 15 minutes every time, or putting away all the needles). Once I found adult coloring about 2 years ago I have never gone back. So simple yet so satisfying. I now colour almost every day and feel so much better mentally!
ENTER - What a fantastic giveaway prize! Thank you so much for hosting such an amazing giveaway and congrats on 10k!!! My colouring journey began after a fall due to my arthritis. I was always an artist, but the fall damaged my hands. I used colouring as a means to teach myself to hold and control a pencil again, and in the process fell in love with colouring. While I'm now capable of drawing again, I love colouring so much that I still colour everyday!
ENTER. I was looking for a creative activity that would let me fight against perfectionism less. Painting and drawing are too little structure. When I saw videos with finished coloring pages I decided to try it out. It gives me the structure I want, I can use lots of fun media, and I really enjoy the community around coloring.
🥳 Congratulations 💕 ENTER -I always loved drawing anime related art but my hobby for coloring started in 2018 when I came across a book in a bookstore ( a mix of all things) and from then on I couldn't stop coloring 💜
ENTER! Congratulations Shelly on your two year UA-cam anniversary. I love the items that you've chosen for the giveaway! I have always loved participating in art and craft activities. I began colouring as I don't always have the time or inspiration and, if I'm honest, the confidence to draw something from scratch. Having seen how popular adult colouring had become, I began looking for UA-cam videos and was delighted to find so many channels filled with inspiring content. I think the kind and encouraging comments that I received from members of the colouring community was ultimately what drew me into participating in this hobby more regularly.
ENTER! I have been working on personal investments/trading for 4 years and watching the news/media everyday has taken its toll on me. I rediscovered art recently and it has become the best distraction from this crazy world we are in. I mostly worked with graphite but I now love exploring all the coloring mediums/techniques. Much love and appreciation for this space and this community!
ENTER! Congratulations on the milestone! I started coloring after a really bad bout of depression. I started several creative outlets: resin, watercolor, fluid paiting and then came across Sarah Renae Clarks and discovered coloring! I bought World within Worlds, subscribed to more than 50 coloring channels and started watching videos all my free time :D This was ~6 months ago.
Enter! Congratulations! ❤ I started coloring after a year of postpartum depression. I was in a really tough spot in my life. I needed something to give me some peace and me time. I always loved art but coloring literally saved me ❤ thank you for sharing your journey
Congratulations Shelly!🥰🥰 ENTER I started colouring in 2014 when I got a new job and one of my new colleagues showed me some Johanna Basford colouring books. I immediately was intrigued and went to buy my first book which was Enchanted Forest :) I got so obsessed with colouring that it made me get into drawing again later on and I started my own art business thanks to it! I still colour in my spare time and have over 50+ books and still buy new releases. I will never let go of this hobby. ❤
ENTER Congratulations! Thank you for a wonderful giveaway, it's so very kind of you 💜. How I got into coloring... I picked up a book one day and realized it was very relaxing for me. And so I then started coloring every day after work to soothe my nerves from the day. It's been a total blessing! 💜💜💜
ENTER: Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers. I started coloring because of anxiety and then really enjoyed watching other people while they color. You really learn a lot. Thank you for all you do for the community. I can see you reaching 20,000 in no time. The prizes are awesome!Thank you for your generosity.
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for your 2nd Anniversary!! I have LOVED watching your videos. You’re so very talented!! I’ve loved coloring since I was a child. For YEARS, I could only color in children’s coloring books, with that junky thin, newspaper-ish paper. I was SO excited when ‘adult coloring books’ became a thing. I’ve always colored for joy or when stressed, or just because. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration with us all. 💖💖💖
ENTER -- My coloring journey began about 10 years ago when my daughter’s father passed away, and I was looking for something we could do together that would be fun since she was really struggling with depression and anxiety. Well, still today we color together, watch coloring videos together, and get really excited over seeing others beautiful work. Being a part of the coloring community, although at times silently, has been such a blessing for us both and has really helped us through some difficult times. Congratulations Shel on 10 k subs!!! What a wonderful achievement and very much deserved. My daughter and I both just love and enjoy your videos so much!
1. ENTER 2. I started about the same time you did. My mom got me a coloring book and super cheap pencils for Christmas. I started coloring right away. I've had some slumps, but have been coloring since. I forget my headaches when I color. Congrats on your channel milestones!
ENTER. Congratulations🎉. I have always loved coloring since i was a child. Then I just stopped, can't remember why because i was 14 i think. I picked it back up when i saw mythographic imagine in a book store when I was 21. Your channel was one of the first ones i found on UA-cam and I loved your pages. I have been coloring again for 3 years now and can't imagine stopping again.
Congratulations on your 2 year youtube and 10000 subscribers. I feel lucky to be one of them. I would certainly love to ENTER. My renewed interest in coloring started with the secret garden by Johanna Basford. I am sure, I am not the only one. I still like her books very much. Before that I was already coloring mandalas, and I still love to do that. My last purchase was the mythografic book Magical Earth. That is my first mythografic book and I bought it thanks to your showing on your channel. Thank you for sharing your beautiful coloring pages. 💜
ENTER! Congrats on 10K!! I got started in coloring several years ago to help deal with depression and anxiety. It has helped IMMENSLY. Not only have I stumbled on an amazing hobby, but the AMAZING coloring community is the best on the internet. Thank you for creating some great content and giving me some ideas that I never would have thought of.
ENTER - I started colouring during super stressful period at work, during which I had as well some struggles in personal life....then my aunt died, we have to put down our dog....later my mum died, then covid....so it kind of helps me to stop thinking about these things and just focus on colors, I like to be creative in any way so this is one of my outlets :)
ENTER First….Congrats on 2 yrs & 10k🎉🎉 I honestly don’t remember how I got started with adult coloring. I tried scrapbooking but it didn’t hold my interest. I love needle arts like crochet, embroidery & cross stitch, but those projects can be very time consuming. Coloring provides me the variety for when I’m in the mood for a simple design or something more complex.
ENTER ❤ Hi Shelly 👋 I absolutely love watching your channel. I only started colouring 1 year ago. It was mainly to help with the anxiety I suffer from. It's really does help. As I carry on colouring, I'm becoming more and more confident ❤ congratulations on your 2 year anniversary 🎉❤❤❤
ENTER. I have clinical depression and anxiety and I started colouring as a way to relax and calm my mind when things get overwhelming. I love being creative anyway and colouring has given me an outlet for that aswell as being like medicine for my over-active mind and helps me to forget all my troubles, worries and overwhelming sadness, even if only for a little while. After discovering and admiring all the many amazing and talented colourists, like yourself, I'm now ever so slightly obsessed with my new hobby. I'd be lost without it now! 😊❤ x
ENTER Honestly what got me into adult coloring was my Mom! She was an art guru she did everything from pottery to painting on easels! We would spend many a evening swapping color books and color for hours listening to nice relaxing music! I stuck around because it reminds me of her and makes me feel close to her since she passed away from Cancer next month will be 2 years since she passed. Congratulations for 10K subs and Happy Anniversary!
ENTER, PLEASE!!!! Congratulations to you, Shelly. I'm so happy for you!!! I began adult coloring after I had my first son. I had lots of leftover coloring books and crayons from my niece and decided to color some cute little pictures and add them to his album. Then I colored bigger pictures and completely covered our closet with them. It was a nice quiet thing for me to do while he would fall asleep at night and I've always loved colors and coloring. I took a bit of a break then started up again with my first adult coloring book after my second son was about 7 and have been coloring ever since! I have to say, the adult coloring books and supplies are much more expensive but the final results are amazing!!!! Love you, love your work!
**Happy 2nd Anniversary!** 🎉🎨 I started coloring for my mental health. It helps relieve my anxiety and helps with many other things. 😌 I came to UA-cam for the color-along tutorials. You, along with a few others, have helped me learn how to color beautiful pictures. I have learned a lot from you and the few others. Thank you for taking the time to teach all of us how to color beautiful pictures. 👩🎨🎨 #arttherapy #coloringforadults #mentalhealthawareness
ENTER, congratulations. I started colouring in 2016. I was retired, my children are grown and even my grandchildren are in school full time, so I needed a hobby. I love gardening, but it’s seasonal and I needed something all year round, especially during the winter months. I found your channel a year ago and absolutely love your style. I watch every single video you put out. Your personality is what drew me to you. Then watching you complete such lovely pages, I was hooked. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. 🌺🌸🌼
ENTER. I have started my colouring trip several years ago, I wanted to find hobby which makes me relax and chill out :) A hobby which helps me to escape from everyday's problem. Congratulation, I very like watching your videos especially during my colouring! You are so nice and helpful!
Congratulations! Love your channel, thank you for sharing! I would like to ENTER. My colouring journey started with the very first Johanna Basford book „Secret Garden“. I began to colour a page with markers, and I soon got frustrated because it didn‘t look as I wanted …at all. I laid it aside for a looooooong time until by pure chance I came across the channel of Peta Hewitt and a colour along in „Enchanted Forest“. That got me hooked. I did the colour along, found more colouring channels, bought more books, more supplies (a lot!)…. And the rest is history.😂
ENTER-in 2018 i started watching finished pages on You tube, i was amazed what could be done using pencils, that was it, i was hooked and the adult colouring began, I still watch you tube and follow colour alongs. x
ENTER I began coloring because the finished pages are gorgeous and I want to learn how to create these beautiful and sometimes fun pictures! You are so very motivating.

ENTER: I was diagnosed with breast cancer and was driving myself insane with worry. I saw some adult coloring examples on Pinterest and soon went down the coloring rabbit hole. Coloring helped me channel my worry into a creative outlet.
First off congratulations! Your channel certainly deserves it.
ENTER: I started coloring in 2016 completely by accident. Walked into a gaming store which had Johanna's books for sale and picked up Lost Ocean on a whim. I didn't even know adult coloring was a thing. But then I started coloring and enjoyed it so much. Started watching UA-cam videos, Peta Hewitt was the first colorist I started watching and it just grew from there.
ENTER-I started my colouring journey because I absolutely love colour and the peace and serenity it brings me. It has taken me out of years of depression and anxiety and for that I am so grateful. Well done on 10,000 subs.
ENTER - I started coloring after I bought a friend a get-well gift of a small book of mandalas and markers to help her pass the time while recovering from knee surgery. Congratulatoins on the new milestone.
ENTER. Congrats Shelley, well deserved. I have always liked crafty stuff however it wasnt until a few years ago that I invested in a decent electric sharpener and realised that colouring could be actually enjoyable being able to get a decent point on my pencils and hence followed the start of my collection.
ENTER. I started my coloring journey when I was diagnosed with lupus nephritis and myelomylacia of the cervical spine. I am now stage 5. Coloring really helps . Love your videos, Shelli.
ENTER....I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, especially your amazing completed pages! A big congrats 👏 I have tried many hobbies over the years but nothing has been more therapeutic than colouring to deal with ongoing stress, anxiety and depression.
ENTER - I started colouring after coming across a Johanna Basford book in my local newsagent. I've always loved stationery, drooled over coloured pencils but wasn't artistic except for a reasonable sense of colour. Having the amazing books that are available now lets me indulge in using colour and give me a creative outlet. Congratulations Shel. Love your channel. 😃
ENTER I started at the beginning of the pandemic because I worked in an industry that I knew would be the last thing to open and I'd have time to learn. I still colour and paint (and diamond paint!) every day, it's been a blessing and life changing for me - thanks so much for all the effort you put into your colouralongs and channel
Enter! Congratulations to you for 10K subscribers I have always loved to color, but had switched to iPad apps while I was still working. I had such limited time and that allowed me to be somewhat creative. A few years ago I finally retired and then the following year my mother passed away. I found myself needing to occupy my mind and wanting to have a creative outlet. Also I love learning new things. Enter coloring books and learning how to color 😊 I got serious about coloring last December. So my journey has just begun, December 2023, and I have so much to learn 😊 thank you for your channel and all the help you have given me.
ENTER
I started adult colouring as a stress reliever. I enjoy watching colourists on UA-cam because they do more than I ever could on a page lol
Congrats on your amazing milestone!
ENTER I watch your videos constantly. I have learned so much from watching them. Just an amateur colorist for now but am really absorbing the information my husband says I do great work so far. You inspire me to want to open a book all the time and try new things. I bought my Albrecht Durers (36 for now) because of you. I absolutely love them they are amazing. Keep up the great content and I will continue the journey. Big Love from Canada.
ENTER
Congratulations on 10k!!! Your pages are always so beautiful and I love watching your colour alongs. I’ve learnt so much from you and enjoy your channel immensely.
My colouring journey started when I was given two johanna basford books and a packet of gel pens as a gift from a dear friend after my baby boy passed away in 2020. Colouring initially for me was a way to distract myself from my sadness but also allowed me to express emotions in a way that words couldn’t. The hobby has evolved for me in the years that followed and I now have a few other books and supplies but Colouring will always be something that I associate with my son.
ENTER Congratulations on your 2year channel anniversary. I got into colouring, as I started watching people doing stamping and colouring their images and sharing techniques. I then developed a love for coloured pencils, which I never liked as a child. It's also good for my focus and calming my mind.
Enter!! Thank you for the opportunity! I’m dying to try both sets of those paint pens 😊! I started coloring back in 2015 when my dad was terminally ill & I was in the hospital room with him a lot. I didn’t want to bother him with the tv so a sweet nurse suggested coloring! I’d always loved it as a child so I thought why not. I’m in a slump this year unfortunately but I’ve got a new set of Albrecht dürers to try out now so I’ll be doing one of your amazing color a longs!! Thanks again for all that you do & congrats on 10,000 subs! 🎉❤😊
ENTER
I came across coloring when needing something to replace my beloved knitting due to a hand issue.
I love the endless learning of different mediums, and seeing others work.
Congratulations on your milestone!!!
🥳🎉 ❤️
ENTER
Congratulations on your 2 year Anniversary. I really enjoy watching the channel. I've always loved coloring but I really started getting truly into it was when I saw all the possibilities of the colored pencils and then I was hooked. It is totally relaxing and meditative.
ENTER !!!! Congratulations 🎉 on 10k & 2 years of fab videos ❤ I got into colouring as a way to calm down and help my anxiety and it has helped so so much but so does watching yours and all the other lovely colourists on here , currently having art block so something new to colour with and in may help so fingers crossed 🤞 thank you for all you do on your channel 😊
ENTER. Congratulations 🎊. Hmm.. not sure how I stumbled on my coloring journey. But I truly love it as a creative outlet. Love your channel and coloring style. ❤
ENTER !! Congratulations! Your videos are absolutely lovely, thank you for sharing your work and lovely ideas with all of us.
I always liked art. Watercolours, alcohol markers and pencil crayons were my sketch book fillers 🥺🤣 and then I started using wreck this journal as an artist block tool for inspiration and then my brother passed away in 2016. I lost all interest completely and after a long battle with depression and dissociation a friend one day suggested picking up my art stuff again. I stayed isolated for a very long time but colouring slowly made me see the brightness in the world again. Long story short, it helped me through a lot
ENTER! I remember being at the local book shop with my mum and seeing a small selection of colouring books (amongst which secret garden) circa 2015. My mum commented that it would be such a good hobby for me! I started and really got into it about a year later when I found pencils that worked well with the paper (polychromos). Ive been colouring since as a creative outlet.
Love your videos!
ENTER - Congratulations Shelly! I started my coluring journey 2 years ago to relax after my work. Now I cannot to stop because I love it. I bought Albrech Dúrer pencils and Tooli Art paint pens because of you and adore them ❤. Thanks for the channel. You and your coloring are amazing 😊
ENTER. Hi everyone, started coloring after seeing my mother's coloring pages and wanting to give it a go myself. Reminds me of how she taught me to color as a child- great bonding time then and now. Good luck to everyone.
ENTER.
I always loved colouring and used to have just a book and a pack of textas. Then one day I saw a video on YT about adult colouring and different techniques to make your colouring better .... and that was it - I was hooked! I started getting supplies and trying different techniques and I just love it. This week for the first time ever, I painted with metallic watercolours on a page to highlight areas. I'm so happy with it!!
PS. Congratulations on your channel success! I love watching your videos and looking at your beautiful pages.
ENTER 🎉!! When I was a kid I loved colouring and drawing. My favourite coloured pencils were Berol Canadiana! Lol not sure if they were only a Canadian brand but every time I would open that box of pencils I would get lost in my own world. I’ve always wanted to get back to it, and after starting watching UA-cam videos on colouring, I decided to take the plunge! I love your style and I aspire to become a beautiful colourist like you some day ❤
ENTER - I started colouring last year as a way of relaxing and disconnecting. Looking back it has very well served its purpose, although I'm hooked in this new hobby 🥰🥰 Thank you very much for your videos Shelly 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Shelly,
ENTER ✏
Colouring for me is an escapism from life and something I always enjoyed as a child with my sisters. Many times sat at my mums tiled coffee table with books and pens out, never left me really.
Congratulations on the 2nd year anniversary and a thank you for your all your videos.
Good luck to everybody
Jey xx
ENTER
Congratulations!!
Well I always enjoyed coloring as a kid already, and I found back to it a couple years ago! It is just so much fun! I love the community and Iltis a Great way for me to relax!
ENTER! And Congratulations! I loved all kinds of arts and crafts but wanted something that I can do in the living room with the family around, and something I could pick up and put down easily without it affecting my project. Also something that doesn't have to be a huge financial commitment. Coloring ticks all the right boxes and I love it
ENTER
I started because I felt like I was in an art rut. I'm an artist, but I had fallen out of love with drawing and working on art. So I figured coloring books were a good adjacent way to get back into working on art without so much pressure (for making merch and 'sellable' art), and the AI 'art' surgence was making me sad, and getting back into traditional art was my way of fighting back against that. It's become a lot more than that over the year and a half I've been coloring now, since I started my own channel and color basically on a daily basis now!
ENTER - I started my coloring journey after I realized how much I struggled with artist's block sometimes, especially since I'm in doctorate school, and I needed a way to get out my creative energy in a productive way! I didn't even really realize about the adult coloring community until I found your channel, and I was able to really connect with your art style (especially in the kerby rosanes books!)
Congratulations Shelly! ENTER you are one of the biggest reasons I started! The coloring community is awesomeness! Thank you for all you give this community! 😍
ENTER! Hi Shel, love watching all your videos. You're coloring is amazing! I've learned so much. I started coloring 2 and a half years ago after retiring and losing my husband to cancer not long after. It has been a life saver and has helped my mental health and filled my lonely days. I usually watch coloring videos while I color. Love you. Keep the videos coming g!
ENTER
I started my coloring journey about 1 year ago just after my dad passed. It was a way for me to maintain some creativity during the hardships of life and cope with the stress it can bring. I love seeing pages fill with beautiful colors! It brings me so much joy to play with beautiful art and coloring supplies! Coloring book are so wonderful because I feel as if I am working on a canvas filled with lovely art from another artist!
Congratulations!!! You bring so much joy to the coloring community! You are a truly wonderful artist but even more than that you bring smiles to a lot of people! ❤ Wishing you so much happiness and even more success!!!
Enter. I have colored all my life as well as some painting (pictures, rocks, sweatshirts). About 20 years ago I started coloring mandalas with markers to try and hone my color sense (I have six books of the same mandalas filled up). On my birthday about 15 years ago my sister gave me Secret Garden and a box of Verithins I didn’t know adult coloring books existed and were a fad. I now have hundreds of books in my “Art” collection and it brings me endless joy!
ENTER
I started coloring when my dad was in the hospital. It helped to pass the time while I was sitting next to his bed and it reduced my stress level. I continue to color because I love it so much. I really enjoy pushing myself to learn new things. I really love coloring along with you because of that. Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary and your ten thousand subscribers. Much Love, ❤❤❤
ENTER.....congrats on your 2 years!!! What a fun giveaway. I got into coloring a few years ago just for fun. Now its like my sanity! I get lost in my coloring and before I know it.... hours have passed. It was for fun, became a great stress reliever and now borders on addiction haha. Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck everyone.
I want to ENTER the give away!! I started my coloring journey during recovery from surgery and a health emergency. It really helped to keep my mind and body at rest and I loved the process. My skills and inspiration for coloring have definitely improved from seeing your amazing work, and other talented colorists. So, I am taking this opportunity to thank you very much for sharing your work with the coloring community. I've started buying the books from your videos so that I can follow along and continue to improve!❤❤
ENTER. I became disabled...my back and neck are a mess..also I i I suffer with depression and anxiety so..... i need things that i enjoy doing that i can do at my pace....coloring, crochet, and cross stitch....i just realized this "the 3 C's"...lol. thank you for sharing so much with us❤❤
ENTER! I am so happy for you!!!
My coloring journey started under the pandemic. My mental Health was not on top at the moment, but i found coloring wire teraputic. 4 years later i still use coloring as therapy which gives me so much Joy❤️
1. ENTER
2. I injured myself in 2014 & got advice that colouring is a good diversion tactic to pain. It opened a whole world of art appreciation for me. Congratulations on 10K in 2 years, what a feat. Your selections for your giveaway are perfect & very generous of you. Good luck everyone 🤞
Congratulations on 10k subscribers! I just love your coloring!
ENTER. I've only been colouring for 4 weeks and have 2 books. It's a good way to unwind and destress. I'm not the best at colouring, just yet, but love the helpful videos. Congratulations on the 2 year anniversary and thank you for the fantastic giveaway x
ENTER, congratulations on your two year!! I love your channel, love how you color with such vibrant colors, I enjoy following all your color alongs, I also love using the Albert Durers pencil as well. They make a huge difference in the shadows after activating them. Thank you for all your work.
ENTER - I've always loved to color since I was a child. Even as a pre-teen back in the '70s, they had "adult" coloring books - mainly mandalas and geometric designs. Me and my mom would have a set of felt tip markers and color away. Then time went on and one day back in 2018 I noticed a FB friend had a picture she had done. Made me look up coloring books for adults and wow, whole new world of books - nothing like I had in the 70's. That started the rebirth of my coloring. Thanks much for the giveaway - very generous and kind of you!
ENTER- started colouring nearly two years ago. Over the last year it has become a proper passion and hobby and helped with through a bad spell of anxiety.
Thank you, Shel, for sharing your amazing coloring talent with the world. I’m always inspired by your videos.
1. ENTER
2. I was introduced to coloring at an inpatient mental health facility...I deal with depression. I found I loved coloring trees. About a year later I began watching YT videos and buying books. I colored sparingly over the years and only recently made it a real hobby that I love. Congratulations and best wishes to you!! 🎉❤🎉
ENTER. I love your coloring, the bright bold colors….I like it most when you use your Albrecht Durer pencils. I got into coloring so I could learn how to blend colors better for when I draw Zentangle.
ENTER - I have always been into art and would consider myself a creative person. I was doing a lot of drawing back when I started coloring. I would still color in kids coloring books from time to time as well. I picked up coloring immediately once I became aware adult coloring books were available. Congrats on your two year anniversary and 10K subscribers! Fantastic milestone! Thank you for hosting the giveaway! 💖
ENTER! I love reading everyone's stories!
I was on maternity leave with my first kid when I randomly saw a coloring book in store. It had floral motives and I like flowers so I picked it up, thinking I probably won't even touch it. It's 2 years later now and I'm still very much into it with lots of books and supplies 😂
ENTER
I've always love colors and when the coloring books for adults became a thing here in my country I had to start to help out with my stress and anxiety. So I did bought one and did not stop since them. I do have some blocks for a few months but always go back to them. Nothing relax me more than my favorite playlist and my coloring pencil and books.
Congrats on your 2 years and 10k, you deserve it! Your pages always turn out AMAZING!
ENTER My husband passed in March of 2022, and I needed to find something to fill some of my time. I found adult coloring from watching youtube videos and I was hooked. I have been watching for some time now and really enjoy your art everything is so beautiful. I think it is great that you have reached 10,000 subscribers and two years of videos.
Enter! 🌸 my coloring journey started probably around 2015-2016. I was only 11 at that time, but adult coloring books (especially Millie Marotta's and Johanna Basford's) were very popular. We used to exchange them with my elementary school friends, color a page and leave a cute dedication note inside 🥹 I abandoned coloring for a few years, but recently I got back into the hobby and I'm enjoying it so much! I found my old "Secret Garden" and started to look for inspiration on Pinterest. And that's how I came across your channel in the beggining of 2022! Your videos make me so inspired, I really look up to you and it makes me happy to see your channel growing 🥰
ENTER: I have enjoyed coloring all of my life. Over the years I think I colored in my kids coloring books more than they did. I really got into adult coloring 10 years ago while going through a difficult divorce after almost 30 years of marriage. Coloring is where I go to relax and take my mind off my problems. Congratulations on your anniversary and hitting 10000 subscribers.
ENTER Congratulations and Happy 2nd Anniversary!! I remember back about 7 years ago, I found some Windsor and Newton alcohol markers in the clearance section at Michaels. I had never heard of those types of markers, so I began looking them up on youtube and ran across the color community. I was hooked immediately, and a "coloring monster" began to grow.
ENTER please!
I began coloring around the pandemic, and I’ve really enjoyed learning new skills, trying new books and products, and watching UA-cam videos. Thanks for sharing your talent and company with us, and congratulations on hitting 10k subscribers!
ENTER
I started my coloring journey a little over a year ago. I've always loved art and crafts stuff and I was just browsing on UA-cam. I clicked on a recommended video and it was a color along with My Colorful Country Life in a Johanna Basford book. That started it all for me and I was hooked on coloring! I stayed up until 3 am that night watching coloring videos! I remember watching My Colorful Country Life, then I found your channel, Coloring with K, Lucy Just Adds Color, and Chris Cheng! The next day I went on Amazon and bought colored pencils and some books and I haven't stopped coloring since!
ENTER. As a child I drew and painted every day. As I grew up my fantasy decreased and my self critisism increased so I stopped with my hobby...In 2015 I got my first coloring book and I got the joy of creativity back! And you are my favourite UA-camr❤
Congratulations, Shelly, for your 10K! You deserve each and every one of them! Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway , it's as special as the first one. I don't have any of the books or supplies in the giveaway, so imagine my fingers, so crossed it hurts. 😂 So, by all means, ENTER, please.
I started colouring about 8 years ago, when I bought a simple colouring book from a store. I almost forgot about it up until the pandemic, when I started again and now wild horses couldn't keep me from it... 😂 I'm glad social media help us all contact each other, this is a wonderful community.
ENTER. Congratulations 🎉. I’ve always colored ever since I was a little girl. I’ve colored with my children as they grew up and I’ve colored with my grandchildren as they’ve grown up. It’s something I’ve just done and enjoyed. Thank you so much for the give away and you doing all the videos you do. I appreciate it all. Enjoy your day! 🤗💕
ENTER, so very well deserved your colouring is amazing. I originally got into adult colouring during COVID, it was something I’d done as a teenager and I thought I’d have another go, so I grabbed some Staedtler Norris pencils and a zen colouring book but I then discovered all the wonderful colourists like yourself on You Tube and I knew I needed better supplies 😊. So I got some castle art pencils and worlds within worlds and I was hooked.
ENTER
I´ve always been a creative person "stuck" in a non-creative job. I´ve tried so many different creative hobbies (crochet, miniature painting, sowing and even diamond painting) to try and get my creative side stimulated. But having kids and pets and therefore always needing to put everything away as soon as I leave the project seemed to make the effort not worth it (like cleaning brushes for 15 minutes every time, or putting away all the needles). Once I found adult coloring about 2 years ago I have never gone back. So simple yet so satisfying. I now colour almost every day and feel so much better mentally!
Yes me too!
ENTER - What a fantastic giveaway prize! Thank you so much for hosting such an amazing giveaway and congrats on 10k!!! My colouring journey began after a fall due to my arthritis. I was always an artist, but the fall damaged my hands. I used colouring as a means to teach myself to hold and control a pencil again, and in the process fell in love with colouring. While I'm now capable of drawing again, I love colouring so much that I still colour everyday!
ENTER. I was looking for a creative activity that would let me fight against perfectionism less. Painting and drawing are too little structure. When I saw videos with finished coloring pages I decided to try it out. It gives me the structure I want, I can use lots of fun media, and I really enjoy the community around coloring.
🥳 Congratulations 💕
ENTER -I always loved drawing anime related art but my hobby for coloring started in 2018 when I came across a book in a bookstore ( a mix of all things) and from then on I couldn't stop coloring 💜
ENTER! Congratulations Shelly on your two year UA-cam anniversary. I love the items that you've chosen for the giveaway!
I have always loved participating in art and craft activities. I began colouring as I don't always have the time or inspiration and, if I'm honest, the confidence to draw something from scratch. Having seen how popular adult colouring had become, I began looking for UA-cam videos and was delighted to find so many channels filled with inspiring content. I think the kind and encouraging comments that I received from members of the colouring community was ultimately what drew me into participating in this hobby more regularly.
ENTER! I have been working on personal investments/trading for 4 years and watching the news/media everyday has taken its toll on me. I rediscovered art recently and it has become the best distraction from this crazy world we are in. I mostly worked with graphite but I now love exploring all the coloring mediums/techniques. Much love and appreciation for this space and this community!
ENTER! Congratulations on the milestone! I started coloring after a really bad bout of depression. I started several creative outlets: resin, watercolor, fluid paiting and then came across Sarah Renae Clarks and discovered coloring! I bought World within Worlds, subscribed to more than 50 coloring channels and started watching videos all my free time :D This was ~6 months ago.
Enter! Congratulations! ❤
I started coloring after a year of postpartum depression. I was in a really tough spot in my life. I needed something to give me some peace and me time. I always loved art but coloring literally saved me ❤ thank you for sharing your journey
Congratulations Shelly!🥰🥰
ENTER
I started colouring in 2014 when I got a new job and one of my new colleagues showed me some Johanna Basford colouring books. I immediately was intrigued and went to buy my first book which was Enchanted Forest :) I got so obsessed with colouring that it made me get into drawing again later on and I started my own art business thanks to it! I still colour in my spare time and have over 50+ books and still buy new releases. I will never let go of this hobby. ❤
ENTER ! Congrats 🎉🎉🎉 I started coloring during the pandemic cause I was mentally not well… It helped me a great deal ! I got addicted !
ENTER
Congratulations!
Thank you for a wonderful giveaway, it's so very kind of you 💜.
How I got into coloring... I picked up a book one day and realized it was very relaxing for me. And so I then started coloring every day after work to soothe my nerves from the day. It's been a total blessing! 💜💜💜
ENTER: Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers. I started coloring because of anxiety and then really enjoyed watching other people while they color. You really learn a lot. Thank you for all you do for the community. I can see you reaching 20,000 in no time. The prizes are awesome!Thank you for your generosity.
ENTER. Ive been colouring since i was a child and i just never stopped. Thank you for the opportunity to win. Good luck everyone😊
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for your 2nd Anniversary!! I have LOVED watching your videos. You’re so very talented!!
I’ve loved coloring since I was a child. For YEARS, I could only color in children’s coloring books, with that junky thin, newspaper-ish paper. I was SO excited when ‘adult coloring books’ became a thing. I’ve always colored for joy or when stressed, or just because.
Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration with us all. 💖💖💖
ENTER -- My coloring journey began about 10 years ago when my daughter’s father passed away, and I was looking for something we could do together that would be fun since she was really struggling with depression and anxiety. Well, still today we color together, watch coloring videos together, and get really excited over seeing others beautiful work. Being a part of the coloring community, although at times silently, has been such a blessing for us both and has really helped us through some difficult times. Congratulations Shel on 10 k subs!!! What a wonderful achievement and very much deserved. My daughter and I both just love and enjoy your videos so much!
1. ENTER
2. I started about the same time you did. My mom got me a coloring book and super cheap pencils for Christmas. I started coloring right away. I've had some slumps, but have been coloring since. I forget my headaches when I color.
Congrats on your channel milestones!
ENTER -
I watched a friend color and thought “I might enjoy that.” Oh oh, tried it and now I am hooked.
ENTER. Congratulations🎉. I have always loved coloring since i was a child. Then I just stopped, can't remember why because i was 14 i think. I picked it back up when i saw mythographic imagine in a book store when I was 21. Your channel was one of the first ones i found on UA-cam and I loved your pages. I have been coloring again for 3 years now and can't imagine stopping again.
ENTER - I started coloring for the joy of creating and expressing myself through color.
I was hospitalized for depression and a lovely person there shared her coloring supplies with us. We colored and laughed. It was good for all of us.
ENTER - ❤ thank you so much firstly …as a way to ‘engage’ to distract for chronic pain and the anxiety surrounding it 😊
Congratulations on your 2 year youtube and 10000 subscribers. I feel lucky to be one of them. I would certainly love to ENTER.
My renewed interest in coloring started with the secret garden by Johanna Basford. I am sure, I am not the only one. I still like her books very much. Before that I was already coloring mandalas, and I still love to do that.
My last purchase was the mythografic book Magical Earth. That is my first mythografic book and I bought it thanks to your showing on your channel. Thank you for sharing your beautiful coloring pages. 💜
ENTER! Congrats on 10K!! I got started in coloring several years ago to help deal with depression and anxiety. It has helped IMMENSLY. Not only have I stumbled on an amazing hobby, but the AMAZING coloring community is the best on the internet. Thank you for creating some great content and giving me some ideas that I never would have thought of.
ENTER! Congratulations and I love all your coloring! Thank you for sharing!🥰
ENTER - I started colouring during super stressful period at work, during which I had as well some struggles in personal life....then my aunt died, we have to put down our dog....later my mum died, then covid....so it kind of helps me to stop thinking about these things and just focus on colors, I like to be creative in any way so this is one of my outlets :)
ENTER First….Congrats on 2 yrs & 10k🎉🎉 I honestly don’t remember how I got started with adult coloring. I tried scrapbooking but it didn’t hold my interest. I love needle arts like crochet, embroidery & cross stitch, but those projects can be very time consuming. Coloring provides me the variety for when I’m in the mood for a simple design or something more complex.
ENTER ❤ Hi Shelly 👋 I absolutely love watching your channel. I only started colouring 1 year ago. It was mainly to help with the anxiety I suffer from. It's really does help. As I carry on colouring, I'm becoming more and more confident ❤ congratulations on your 2 year anniversary 🎉❤❤❤
ENTER. I have clinical depression and anxiety and I started colouring as a way to relax and calm my mind when things get overwhelming. I love being creative anyway and colouring has given me an outlet for that aswell as being like medicine for my over-active mind and helps me to forget all my troubles, worries and overwhelming sadness, even if only for a little while. After discovering and admiring all the many amazing and talented colourists, like yourself, I'm now ever so slightly obsessed with my new hobby. I'd be lost without it now! 😊❤ x
ENTER
Honestly what got me into adult coloring was my Mom! She was an art guru she did everything from pottery to painting on easels! We would spend many a evening swapping color books and color for hours listening to nice relaxing music! I stuck around because it reminds me of her and makes me feel close to her since she passed away from Cancer next month will be 2 years since she passed. Congratulations for 10K subs and Happy Anniversary!
ENTER, PLEASE!!!! Congratulations to you, Shelly. I'm so happy for you!!!
I began adult coloring after I had my first son. I had lots of leftover coloring books and crayons from my niece and decided to color some cute little pictures and add them to his album. Then I colored bigger pictures and completely covered our closet with them. It was a nice quiet thing for me to do while he would fall asleep at night and I've always loved colors and coloring. I took a bit of a break then started up again with my first adult coloring book after my second son was about 7 and have been coloring ever since! I have to say, the adult coloring books and supplies are much more expensive but the final results are amazing!!!! Love you, love your work!
Congratulations And I began My Coloring journey Because I have mental depression and anxiety and Coloring Helps me A lot ❤
**Happy 2nd Anniversary!** 🎉🎨
I started coloring for my mental health. It helps relieve my anxiety and helps with many other things. 😌
I came to UA-cam for the color-along tutorials.
You, along with a few others, have helped me learn how to color beautiful pictures. I have learned a lot from you and the few others. Thank you for taking the time to teach all of us how to color beautiful pictures. 👩🎨🎨 #arttherapy #coloringforadults #mentalhealthawareness
ENTER, congratulations. I started colouring in 2016. I was retired, my children are grown and even my grandchildren are in school full time, so I needed a hobby. I love gardening, but it’s seasonal and I needed something all year round, especially during the winter months. I found your channel a year ago and absolutely love your style. I watch every single video you put out. Your personality is what drew me to you. Then watching you complete such lovely pages, I was hooked. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. 🌺🌸🌼
ENTER. I have started my colouring trip several years ago, I wanted to find hobby which makes me relax and chill out :) A hobby which helps me to escape from everyday's problem. Congratulation, I very like watching your videos especially during my colouring! You are so nice and helpful!
Congratulations! Love your channel, thank you for sharing! I would like to ENTER. My colouring journey started with the very first Johanna Basford book „Secret Garden“. I began to colour a page with markers, and I soon got frustrated because it didn‘t look as I wanted …at all. I laid it aside for a looooooong time until by pure chance I came across the channel of Peta Hewitt and a colour along in „Enchanted Forest“. That got me hooked. I did the colour along, found more colouring channels, bought more books, more supplies (a lot!)…. And the rest is history.😂
ENTER-in 2018 i started watching finished pages on You tube, i was amazed what could be done using pencils, that was it, i was hooked and the adult colouring began, I still watch you tube and follow colour alongs. x
ENTER. have Been coloring all my life but since 2020 have i coloring every single day. ❤ i love all kind of Craft. ❤
ENTER I began coloring because the finished pages are gorgeous and I want to learn how to create these beautiful and sometimes fun pictures! You are so very motivating.
