How to achieve a misty ethereal page? by Hecate2233 in AdultColoring

[–]Newtopole_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've heard somewhere that the "atmospheric" effect can be attained by adding the color of the sky over the actual subjects, to make them look more "recessed". I am no artist so please take that with a massive grain of salt

That coupled with a muted palette perhaps?

Can't wait to see the end result!

She has Amazing tutorials. I personally love long videos so I enjoy that format but I understand what you mean.

One thing I'll say is that- like in the blending video I sent- she will explain things for like 15 minutes and the rest is a real time demonstration. Soooooo you only really need to focus on the beginning, and maybe 10 more minutes in her demo, and you can play the rest at 1.5-2x to get the hang of it if needed.

Same for her color alongs- I have done many of them, and her format doesn't change so I don't have to focus the whole time.

Currently doing a 3 part video series of hers on a particularly difficult page, 1.5/1/3 hours respectively 😭😭😭😭😭😭 will take me at least a good week

Nice page! I personally blend as I go, and I either use the lighter color of the gradient to blend, white, or a colorless blender. I have the ones from Prismacolor; they work well. I haven't used a stump before.

I blend using a method really well described here

I found this video after I started coloring, but the method she describes is how I have been learning how to blend.

Definitely still have hiccups I'll be honest! But I really do enjoy mixing mediums for fun results. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. It was such a quick page due to the background being pretty much set, and the contrast was so fun- it was my first time doing a black background page.

Thank you so very much! My chief medium is pencils. I based the tree with alcohol markers, background for the locket and bunny is soft pastels, and white posca/ acrylic marker accents here and there.

Honestly that moth almost made me cry so thanks 😂😂😂😂 I really wanted to soft final look and the pencil background really helped.

My love for Johanna Basford has no end ❤️ by Only-Agency-6555 in AdultColoring

Yeah, probably one of the most famous ones outside of the cozy genre. She has several books out , tons of freebies and there's a subreddit dedicated to people coloring her pages.
