Join me as I share my first 12 months in adult coloring, from my very first page to a full coloring portfolio featuring fantasy scenes, cozy illustrations, and vibrant designs. In this video, you’ll see every completed page, the art supplies I used, the illustrators I fell in love with, and the YouTube colorists (coloring youtube channels) who inspired me.
You’ll also hear my creative insights and coloring statistics from year one. Perfect for anyone starting adult coloring or looking for new inspiration. Whether you’re into colored pencils, alcohol markers, or mixed media, you might just discover your next favorite coloring book or technique.
UPDATE: Based on the comments of this video, this video has been especially helpful for beginners in adult coloring, offering both inspiration and practical tips to get started with confidence.
