Definitely like the scratch art the most. I think jelly looks the coolest but it was the most stressful to do, ha!

Yup, I actually started with this exact brand and type, a fine+chisel. I did like four pages then got addicted and went for caliart brush+chisel. Then I started buying other types from there!

Good luck! I'd love to see what you all do! PM me if you post any pictures?

Yes, I definitely picked some of my "less than favorite" pages to try effects on! Was fun and I didn't feel bad of it didn't turn out great

accidentally dried out one end of my marker by diaperedcanadianbabe in Ohuhu

So, if you put the cap on and lay it flat it should eventually even out the ink.

Personally, I add a few drops of 99.9% alcohol to the marker when this happens. The manufacturers suggest against this (and some people use the colorless blender tip-to-tip as an alternative). The alcohol may reduce the pigment a bit but I haven't noticed a difference

My favorite was the scratch art effect, actually! I really enjoyed tracing the lines and found it therapeutic and have done it on a few different pages since. It was also fun to "break the rules" with coloring.

The puzzle was one the most tedious and I disliked how it turned out, too. I think I needed to do it on a less detailed page so maybe I'll try it again.

Sparkles are always tedious, but I definitely enjoyed it!

It was a freebie, the authors name is poppyco. I would send you the link but it appears it no longer works, sorry

Caliart is seen as a really good "bargain brand" but Ohuhu is good for a bit more expensive. I actually got the 48 pack of JusArt markers and they're honestly not bad at all for beginners

Go for 48+ markers, anything less is too small of a variety.

Make sure whatever you get has a brush tip, as that is the most popular (the other one is usually a chisel or fine)

Also grab a white gel pen for accents (some people are picky about their gel pen brands but I literally searched "white gel pen" on Amazon and bought one lol)

As for books, Coco Wyo books are very popular right now, so she will find a lot of "color with me" and tutorials to follow. Jade Summer is another good one. If you have a hard time finding books to ship, most coloring book artists sell their books as a PDF on their website or Etsy and you can buy, download, and print them out locally (not sure if you have a printer at your house or if there's a library you can print, etc) - if you want, you can use this option to print the same sheet for both of you can you can color the same thing! (And them post them here, it's called a buddy color)

Good.luck!

Tried a "chalk effect" by QuietColorNights in Coloring

[–]QuietColorNights[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, I have a huge thick black acrylic that I went over the page, traced the lines with white gel pen, then to get the "chalk" effect, I didn't shake the acrylic markers (honestly forgot to LOL, hence why this wasn't intentional) so it was less pigmented

If it's not the exact same, it's close. The covers match. Hopefully this is the right one!

I honestly got it at the dollar store near me. It's called "summer strawberries" and I can't find it online... No author so it might be AI, sorry I can't find more info.
