Adult Coloring Worldwide

There is this lovely website/blog called Adult Coloring Worldwide.  I am a member of their group on Facebook and really love it.  Great people there.  Anyway, they are featuring my Fox Book on their site.  I think that's pretty cool.

Tomorrow!

I made a coloring book with foxes! It's super cute. Hope you all will like it. Should be out tomorrow.

Here is the colored picture for the cover.

A Few Left

I only have a few more foxes left to draw for my book.  Actually the foxes are done it's the backgrounds that need work.  I cannot believe I just started these Thursday the 17th.  I should be done today or tomorrow!  A full book in less than a week and I am very happy with the quality.  Doesn't look rushed.

Angela Porter's Coloring Books At Target

I went to Target today and in the book section they had a few shelves of coloring books for adults.  I found copies of Angela Porter's Color Me Calm so after checking it out I had to have one.  Bought a copy and a few extra Staedtler pens.  Angela was a big influence on me a few years ago when I met her on a website called paintingsilove.com.

I was doing nothing but watercolors when I started noticing her drawings.  I hadn't been doing any drawings for years.  I started painting regularly in 2011.  Angela was the first to tell me about Zentangles.  And although I do not do them they showed me a whole new way of thinking about my art.  Doodling became my passion.  Now doodling is my job considering my doodles are now coloring books.

I look forward to coloring this book but mostly I am just excited to look at it.  Nice to own some of Angela's art.

Coming Along...BOOK 7!

My new book is all about foxes.  There is a fox on every page along with crazy designs and flowers.  I am trying to think of a title for it and I will probably call it something like Foxes and Flowers.  That is the working title for it.  But actually when I see the foxes they all look like they are on some sort of acid trip.  Designs are swirling around their heads and all around them.  I'd love to title it Tripping Foxes but that probably wouldn't appeal to the colorists.  I guess I could call it Psychedelic Foxes.

Whatever I name it, I really like it and it's been fun drawing animals for a change.  Have about 27 pages finished so I just need 9 more.

Here are three of my foxes...

Light Box!

I bought myself a light box for around $60 on Amazon.  They sent it SAME DAY FREE SHIPPING!!!  I ordered it at 10 am and received it at 5 pm.  I LOVE Amazon Prime.  I have done 5 fox drawings and scanned them into the computer.  I have 2 more that still need to be scanned.  That's 7 drawings within 24 hours and I think that they are good and not just slopped on.

There are a lot of flowers and stuff like that in these drawings so I'm thinking I will name the book Foxes and Flowers.

It's really strange drawing animals for a change but I'm loving it.  Hope I get a good reaction out of them.

Foxes

Well I have been exploring my fox coloring book idea.  I am not very good at drawing foxes I have found out.  So this may not happen.  Tried some realistic foxes and hated them.  Came up with some cartoon ones and like them.

Inktense Colored Pencils by Derwent

My first impression...I just got Inktense colored pencils by Derwent.  You use them with water and they are kind of like a cross between colored pencils and markers.  They glide on smooth as silk but have to be dipped in water constantly.  I dip them more than I do my watercolor brush.  Maybe I am doing them wrong but without the water they are hard to push around the paper.  Also I am having trouble keeping control of them.  Making a bit of a mess.  I will have to work with them some more.

Amazon Page

I finally figured out about my Amazon Page.  Here It Is!

6 Books Published - Now What?

WOW!  I have published 6 books since April 30th.  I've done a variety of types of books.  I just finished book 6 last week.  Now I am not sure what project to take on next.

Things I am considering:

• A coloring calendar
• A coloring journal
• A book of foxes
