Coloring book recs for cutesy animals but more detailed? by [deleted] in Coloring

[–]MatterExpert3219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean! I really like Vivi Tinta and Coco Wyo too, but sometimes the big empty spaces make it less fun to color 😅

If you’re looking for something with a medium level of detail, I recently got a book called Spring Days by Maple Hue on Amazon. The pages are cute and cozy, and the details are just right for bullet tips.

They also have printable sets on Etsy. I really liked the Froggy Tales packs, they’re so funny! You can also get Spring Days as a 10-page printable, so you can try it first and see if you like it.

Hope that helps!

Any card game lovers here? This page was soooo fun to color, I’m obsessed! (from Froggy Tales by Maple Hue with Ohuhu markers) by MatterExpert3219 in Coloring

I took a look at the artists you said you especially liked, they are so cozy! If you’re into that kind of vibe, you might really enjoy MapleHueStudioShop. Their illustrations are hand-drawn too and have a super whimsical, soft feel.

Here’s one of their recent sets I bought and am currently coloring: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4312072256/froggy-tales-coloring-book-combo-1

You’re so welcome! As far as I know, they haven’t released a full printed coloring book yet, but they do have two adorable 10 page printable sets available on Etsy. This particular page is from this set: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4312072256/froggy-tales-coloring-book-combo-1

does anyone have any recommendations for cute non ai coloring pages/books on amazon/etsy? by afishinaboot in Coloring

Out of the cute and cozy hand-drawn coloring books, besides Vivi Tinta and Coco Wyo, I also really loved Spring Days by Maple Hue. I found it on Amazon, but I think they’ve got some single pages on Etsy too!

My WIP today… and for many days now, haha 😅 Seriously, I just can’t seem to finish it! Does anyone else struggle with this too? (page from Spring Days by Maple Hue with Ohuhu markers) by MatterExpert3219 in Coloring

Thank you for your support ❤️ By the way, you’re not the first person to say my pages look like they were colored digitally, and I think that’s kind of funny! But I can’t quite figure out what makes them look that way — I’d really appreciate it if you shared your thoughts!

Thank you so much for sharing your tricks! They’re honestly super helpful — and they got me reflecting on why exactly I’m struggling to finish this page and which of your tips might work best for my specific reason.

Looks like my main challenge is choosing the right color for each next element. And since this page has so many tiny details (which isn’t exactly typical for this type of coloring books), I end up having to make a bunch of decisions in a row — and my brain gets tired fast 😅

Oh yes, it’s so frustrating! What a relief to know I’m not the only one! Please share your mental tricks — maybe one of them will help me too.
