You ever just use an OC to color a page in a coloring book?

Would definitely recommend switching to Clip Studio Paint (they do offer one-time payment options so you don't pay monthly fees), and they do sales fairly often to get it for a good price. In the meantime, there's Photopea, which I think is like a slimmed-down Photoshop. I've also tried Firealpaca!
I *have* had more luck with Ohuhu's regular marker paper, the one that's not marketed as bleed-proof. You can only color one side as it does bleed to the back, but there's no pooling, blending is easier and the colors look super sharp! It doesn't seem to absorb as much ink as bristol too.
Yep, I had the same problem with the Ohuhu (and the center of their paper is dark so when you soak the top layer with light colors, it looks darker!). I use bristol as well, the Neenah brand! It's nice and thick and I can blend fine on that. I just find it absorbs a lot and thus uses up more ink.
Lovely portrait! I recently tested some marker paper and *also* hated it... what paper were you trying out? (And was it the Ohuhu bleed-proof pads? XD)
GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. Itโs now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
All my December pages (I hadn't already shared here). I had a busy month and got a lot done. More than I expected tbh.
And as a side note... I have a love-hate relationship with those grippies lol... They're GREAT for holding stuff yes, and opening items. But as someone with two cats, they're also quick to get COVERED in cat hair lol...
"Just use them inside out" I have, with some models. But most models nowadays also have silicone grippy pads on the palms, which are GREAT for opening bottles but means I can't just turn them inside out. I just wanna use gloves that won't hurt at the seams...
Why do all compression gloves have the seams on the inside? This glove is meant to be tight... and yet it has FOUR SEAMS on each finger, that press against them! Every time I use my gloves, I end up with grooves where the seams bite into my skin.
Some recent coloring book pages I've finished. From "It's a Cat's World" by Teresa Goodridge and "Wildflower Folk" by Christine Karron
If you're in Canada and have been eyeing the Derwent Inktense line... Amazon.ca is currently offering the 72 set for $140CAD with a $42 coupon, meaning you can grab them for just over $105 after taxes (plus shipping). That is an incredible deal!! #traditionalart #art #adultcoloringbooks

I love him, I love this sheet, and you seem like a fun person to RP with.
My newest compilation of completed coloring pages is up! I got through 10 pages last month, with a lot of spooky ones~

Here's the one piece of original art I made in September. Also the first actual piece of art in this new marker sketchbook I got. Loved the paper for markers, and am pretty happy with how this turned out!
Another month, another compilation of colored pages. I'm definitely getting into the swing of this, and I fear my book collection will soon become so vast I will not be able to color a page in each book each month, as I have been mostly doing so far...

"I'm going to bed early!" I said, like a liar.
Would you believe me if I said these two are my first ever pieces with alcohol markers? These were a commission pair, sibling cats belonging to a friend. Their names are Hubble and Cannon! #art #cat
OMG the red panda adventurers are SO CUTE!
Thanks for the art share!! Iโm under 100 and love to paint animals :)
That cat has me mesmerized, the fur looks so soft I want to pet them! ๐ฅฐ

I'm a sapphic artist from Canada who likes to draw a lot of DnD and fantasy ๐จโจ
Hi! I'm new so def less than 100 XD I draw a bit of everything from fandoms to ttrpg and cute animals. Been clawing myself out of a huge slump, and dabbling in trad art for the first time in years! (Also picked up alcohol markers, never had those before ๐ฎ)
Here's some recent art I've completed.
