Title Page for "My Colorful Town"

The Simple Things in Life.

"My Colorful Town" by Chiaki Ida. I titled this one, " The Simple Things in Life" I seem to cherish simple things because they bring me the most joy and contentment. A good cup of coffee, the sight and fragrance of fresh cut flowers and yes, a pair of shoes that fit just right. These are the things that spark joy.
I used mainly polychromos, a bit of koi watercolors and a touch of gel pens.

"Vampires" by Jade Summer

"Missing you, My Love"

"Vampires" by Jade Summer. I love her coloring books.  This book doesn't disappoint. I purchased this one from Amazon Prime. I just wish it was printed on better quality paper. Now, I print on heavy card stock. I watched Ann in "A Colorful Life" video on U Tube. She suggested alcohol markers for base and pencils for shading. I love how this one turned out. I used Touch New markers for base, and Prisma color pencils for shading. Before, I was  using pencils and mineral spirits to blend the pencil into the paper. It was a mess and took longer to color. Now, with markers, it's  a lot faster to color. I'll be using this method for coloring on more of my coloring books with  createspace paper. I did mess up her mouth and tried to fix it. I did the best I could. Had to stop because the paper started breaking down. I titled this one "Missing you, My Love" because she seems to regret biting him, and now he's gone.

"Blue By You"

CC#3: Creative Haven's, Creative Cats, "Blue by You" It happens to be  that blue is my favorite color and that's what I usually start with when I start coloring. I love cool colors, but I really want to try coloring a page using warm colors. We'll see how that turns out. I used everything I have on this one. I used Prisma pencils, Faber Castell polychromos, Copics, Sharpies and Sakura gel pens.

  CC#2: I used Prisma pencils, Faber Castell polychromos, Copics, Sharpies & Sakura gel pens. I also cut off the border and taped to a very pretty blue cardstock. Makes all the blues in the actual picture pop. I love cats and I enjoy coloring them. I also have "Creative Kittens". I'll try to color in that one soon.

Creative Cats, "Le Paint"

CC#1: Creative Haven's, Creative Cats". I  used sharpies. This is the first one I colored from "Creative Cats. I loved using Sharpie markers. The process was a bit faster than when using pencils. Next one I color, I'm going to use entirely Copics and or Touch Five Markers.
