Do you color?

TinyArtist

Adult coloring is still very popular these days. I like coloring when I'm not in the mood to actually do artwork in colored pencils. It actually helps me to practice techniques. I enjoy fantasy books mostly but do color all types of subjects. My favorite colored pencils are Prismacolor Premier, preferably vintage ones made in the USA. I also use Luminance,  Lightfast and Polychromos but usually for artwork and not coloring. I once tried to create my own hand drawn pages but they were far from perfect. I might try again some day. Here's a page I drew, oddly I never colored it. I drew it freehand and didn't use a ruler.

If you color what's your favorite theme, artist and colored pencils.

But it's a great drawing! You're very talented.  I don't colour.  I used to draw, but I wasn't very good.

You draw very well! I've always admired people who draw and paint... I'm not very good at it myself... The most I've managed to do is copy a drawing I like... that's why I like to embroider; it's like painting, but I don't feel the pressure of not being good at it... With threads and fabric, I copy the design, but I make it my own by coloring it with threads...

Thanks. Being able to draw an existing drawing is a good way to learn to draw actually. I was a much better artist when I was young. The one thing I suck at is people, have always struggled with them, not sure why. Animals, landscapes, buildings (especially castles), flowers and tattoo line work are what probably have drawn the most since a young age. I mostly do graphite, pen and ink and colored pencil work, but I do paint on occasion.
Did you know most or many artists actually trace their subjects for painting, colored pencil etc.? Famous artists like Leonardo Da Vinci was famous for it.

I love to color but do not get to do it as much as I would like. My printer stopped working so I have to ask friends and family to print pictures for me to color.
