I finished colouring a picture today. I'm not as good at colouring as a lot of you and I used markers but I still enjoyed myself.

I'm really enjoying this thread. I usually move on from a hobby / activity very quickly or I forget about it, but having this thread reminds me about it and keeps me motivated to share with everyone my coloring and see theirs! Thank you @Winchester for starting it!
I'm going to leave the background uncolored. It'll sort of be like white beadboard.
I started a third image:
I have a little more coloring in to do. Some of the images in this book are on two pages and others are just on one page.
I like itAre you using fine tipped markers or bold markers? I like fine tipped markers for really small details and bold ones to fill in large spaces.
@betsygee I like your altar
Humbug! you did awesome! Such vibrant colors! It's really hard to color with markers and get an even color / shade
Those are very good! Keep up the great work!I saw that image online on one of the printable coloring page web sitesI think I printed it out and am using it for a walk challenge team prize.
I've never been into hobbies but this coloring thing is fun
I finished two images today

I used bold markers...a mix of crayola and playskool ones. My daughter likes to colour with me so we use washable markers.
I thought it was a film.Dias de los muertos (Day of the Dead)It's a Latin American, particularily Mexican, holiday celbrated on Nov. 1. Magiksgirl can probbaly explain more about the holiday. I wouldn't want to color in skeletons and such but there are people out there who like that sort of thing.
I'm home today waiting for the repairman (he was supposed to come last week but apparently parts needed to be ordered:doh3: ) so I'll finish up coloring the flowers and start the next image... or two
That's beautiful.
Why would you think it's not as good as others?
I don't know, maybe because markers aren't easy to colour with. It looks streaky in some places.

You guys rock! I'm enjoying seeing everything you're all doing and when I have time to sit down and color, I'll post something. Right now it's been a little hectic around here, but I'm looking forward to working on some images, too.

You all do such beautiful work! Congratulations!
I had never even seen adult coloring books until this thread. I went to Books A Million the other day and right there in the very front of the store was a rack with several coloring books like the ones that have been talked about here. How cool is that???
This one is beautiful! I like the white background!
Just finished this. The colours are a little weird because I started it last week before I bought new markers and they are different colours.
It's a celebration that got made into a film
I second that! You did a great job picking the colorsThanksIf these cups were made in real life, I'd totally buy them
UPDATE ON MY COLORING:
I was at the candy depot yesterday and since school season will start soon there were some coloring utensils, including crayons. I've been to busy to search for mine so I had to decide on the Crayola 12pc and the Playschool 36pc for the same price. I liked the Playschool colors better so I got those.
The Playschool crayons were horrible! They have no pigment at all! Not even the black. They are very dry waxy. When you color, they start to flake on the paper since there's no pigment to color. You get a very translucent pastel color from any of the crayons. They also make a scratching sound since they are so dry. I did not like them one bit. I'll see if I can return them or exchange them for the Crayola ones, with those at least I know they'll actually provide me with color for my pictures

I can't believe how much you have managed to get done. I love the colours you are using too, and agree with everyone about those cups, very nice.
I like how you're using the different depths of shading too.
And ahead of the colouring craze too! I wonder if there will be more for sale this year with colouring being so popular right now?
I was finishing a picture in the Wildlife book I got before I came on line. I'll need to upload some photos soon.

Actually, I found paper placemats at World Market with Day of the Dead designs that could be colored. I put them out with colored pencils during the celebration and a couple of guests did sit down and color for awhile!

They've even arrived in Israel.
The flower one took about three days to do. The cups took a few hours yessterday. I was waiting for the repairman so I didn't have anything else to do. The book is just 7 inches by 5 inches so the images are pretty small but can be very detailed.

I've noticed that I color in the details first and then color around them. Does anyone else do this too? With the cups, I did all the flowers, leaves, etc first and then based on those colors chose what colors to use for the rest of the cup and handle. I do pay attention to every little detail in everyday life so maybe it's just habit or just part of my personality, being an introvert and highly sensitive and all.
Here's what this one said on the back,
Love seeing all the creative works! Catlover19, which book is that one? The bottom one, sort of a flower / celtic cross? And the paisley one you did first with markers is stunning!
I have a little more coloring in to do. Some of the images in this book are on two pages and others are just on one page.
@betsygee I like your altar
I've given up on crayons and markers, using only colored pencils now. With the Prismacolor set, plus the 2 CraZArt (regular and neon) and the one Crayola set, I seem to have plenty of color options ha haaa. I'm starting to blend colors, as well.
Love this thread!

Mine are free printable ones. I cut my second one out because I had scribbled a bit of marker on the outer part so I probably just photographed it upside down.
