Hi hun 😘 wow you're so brave, I could never color an entire picture with gel pens 😅 I only use them for little accents but I know you can do it sweetie 😊 Go, Go Becks Gooooooo Becks 🙌🏼 🎊👌🏼🎊👍🏼🎉 looking forward to see that challenge 💖 I already have my PDF for the November coloralong, so excited about it 🥰
Hi Becks , I love using gel pens in my Johanna Basford books they work great ! You can do it , it’s fun ! Have a beautiful week and always keep your chin up ! Happy Coloring !
I have done lots of pages with just gel pens. Mostly is mandalas. But I have done double page spreads in Kerby Rosanes with just glitter gel pens. Colorit books are great for them. Kerby books too. I suggest smoother paper books. The more tooth the more they soak in. I love the Reaeon gel pens the best. You get big selection for good price and they last. They ones you got are good too.
Rooting for you on the gel pens challenge, that will be fun to see. I brought the Nov PDF and plan on following along. I'm really looking forward to it, because it'll get me doing something Arty each day. Right now I'm working 60 hour weeks and I'm just mentally done after work. So I haven't been doing any art, but the thing is if I spent just a little time for myself each day on art, it would be so good for my soul. So these little pics are perfect.
Lulu Mayo coloring books are great for gel pens and any mixed media.The drawings are cute and not too busy.I have done some pages on them using only gel pens.I will try to get the advent page to participate in the color along.🌸
Oh yeah, you just reminded me that I was supposed to keep up with my flower a day from Johanna Basford’s book! I did five so far… but forgot to continue! 😱
Hi Rebecca first of all don't be nervous colouring with gel pens is so fun, the Johanna Basford paper works amazing with gel pen i have done a few of her pages in all gel pen, but just use any page you want depends on your preference amazon paper can get a little wet and buckle a little bit but i love that i know some people don't though those card stock pictures would be great if you didn't like that buckling on the paper, the gellyroll soufflé pens are basically like super pastel, they go on like the glaze and look a lot darker but then they dry super light so it's deceiving but they are pretty nice but just like the glaze take ages to dry, and cool for the colour along i just purchased the page and of course you can do this you have a million option on colours lol glitter gel pens are my fave i have done a page with all glitter gel pens and also pages with other gel pens too as you know lol i do like to use my cheaper ones for those and not my gelly rolls all the time lol coz they are my fave and i love them so much as accents to an already amazing page as you use them too i know. So yeah i look forward to the advent calendar next month and might even colour every picture in glitter gel pen it's so enjoyable hopefully you will love it. i don't know if you have any chrisitne karron books or any that have the high quality smoother paper they work okay on there but drying time takes a million years lol i didn't actually know i knew that much about colouring with gel pens to be honest lol i just do what feels natural haha and me and gel pens get along very well 🤣💜💜💜
Hi Becks, Lulu Mayo's million books are awesome for gel pens, small pages and cute pictures. Thanks for sharing and I will join in your color a long. Take care.
Go Gel Pens! Sounds lie fun! I love the November calendar for the color along. I don't have a printer to pdf one but I'll be following your videos if they're on UA-cam.
Johanna Basford's books takes them well and the Rita Berman ones too! You should look in to the Color It gel pens - they offer mixed set and the other is purely glitter ones - and they each come w/their own pen case!!! They work good.
Yaaay becks...great to see you back great and strong. Gel pens are fun...I use them for accents, dots for shadowing and interest and I use them for little areas.. Lulu mayo and definitely a great book with little detail would be circle of life... either way you will manage I'm sure lol..x
Hi, I've colored quite a few pages in gel pen. Almost any book will work if single sided but my first choice would be a colorit book. That paper will handle nearly anything, Good luck!
Love this coloring challenge with the gel pens! I really like to use my gel pens in my post card coloring book i have and also in my home sweet home coloring book by Steve Duffendack I like the pes with that type of paper that is a bit thicker. ❤💜 # ColorWithBecks just an idea! 📣wooo goooo Rebecca!!! You got this!!!
Hi Becks, I find pictures with smaller spaces work better with gel pens. Why not do your advent calendar with all gels, then you can use a variety of colors or Johanna Basford could be an option, cheers!
I done mandalas with just gel pens and it was great!! I also colored just with jel pens using Dollar Tree adult coloring books and they absoutely work great!!
I've never done a whole page in just gel pen! I guess I wouldn't know where to start either. What I do is use them with glycerol blenders to make them look more like watercolour. This suggestion is probably just as further complication you don't need!😳
I have colored numerous pictures in just gel pen. Haven’t done one in quite a while, but the results very satisfying. 💜👍🏼 Just printed my PDF for November…..ready to get started. 🥳 ***sent you a picture on IG of a book that I have ordered TWICE and used gel pens on probably 90-95% of the pictures. Just a suggestion. 😊
I’ve done lots of colouring pages just using gel pens, don’t worry its not “torture”...although it does depend how good your pens are. Just a FYI the Aen Art set are glitter gel pens too. The Sakura Glaze are for “spot varnish” effects.
Cool challenge Rebecca. You can do this. I’ve only used gel pens for accents but this might be a fun challenge. Not sure about book suggestions but maybe take a look at some Johanna Basford books. I’ve seen a lot of people do gel pen work in those and she has a couple miniature size books or pocket sized books that might be an idea too. Good luck with the challenge I know you will do great.
Hi Rebecca! How many gel pens in the Aen art set. I'd like to look them up on Amazon...From my experience coloring small areas with gel pens turned out much better. I bet smaller flowers would go well. You will no doubt do a great job!🙋🧡
Oh God! I’m scared for you! I bought a set of gel pens like you and I used it on my ”Coloring Heaven” magazines and it put a giant hole in my book! I think the problem was that they were kinda dry gel pens, so I had to pass over the spot a few times and a Giant Hole formed…so BIG mistake! Maybe a thicker paper would work.🧐😘❤️🩹🇨🇦
Hi Becks! I am not very good at gel pen either. Im like you and just use them as accents. I don't know if you have ever checked out coloring bliss/ Jennifer stay but she does a lot with gel pens and has a video about different ways to color with them. Maybe you could check that out. Ive really only used them to color a mandala and i know that's not your style. Maybe you can just do a couple of little pictures like in the advent color thing so you dont have to comment to a large picture. I look forward to see what you do. and im glad to see you not crying. I hope things are getting better. Just keep your chin up.
Hoooo Beck this is a very good idea !! I unfortunately don’t have a printer, a Instagram account 🤦♀️😂 But the little plants should be a good choice !! Go go Beck go !! 😉This would be a great challenge so very small picture for the beginning because I tried a whole page but because I’m left handed it made a mess!! What is the purple case you’re using ?? Wish you a good week Beck !! 😊
Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge my use of the extremely southern “I” in the word “iPad? iiiiPad, y’all!🤦🏻♀️

I used to colour everything with just gel pens. Double pages, a4 pages, you name it. It takes a while but looks lovely 😊

You got this. Try one of you Vampire coloring pages. Make sure you put card stock paper behind it to catch any bleed thru.
Johanna Basford's books takes them well and the Rita Berman ones too! You should look in to the Color It gel pens - they offer mixed set and the other is purely glitter ones - and they each come w/their own pen case!!! They work good.

A book like Mythographic Imagine would be nice for gel pens. Lots of little elements making up the larger picture

Joining color along, and may even do a page with the gel pens :-) Thanks for sharing.

I’ve never done the advent calendar but I think this will be a perfect little daily break.

Happy day Nice to see you post. If you’re not sure about a book you could try to find a fun pdf.
Colorit Books are good for gel pens 🙂
I don't use gel pens much either but have done a couple of mandalas and they came out quite well...oops! no mandalas, can't help you then, sorry
Tfs
