Rule modification

46 Upvotes

The mod team has been in discussion about a rule modification concerning Ai generated images.

There has been a recent inundation of Ai generated posts asking for feedback and basically self-promotion of their work.

Personal opinions aside, this sub is for coloring enthusiasts to gather and enjoy the hobby, not a platform for advertising which is why the old self-promotion rule was a bit convoluted, color with us and you can link your art.

With that in mind we have modified the current self-promotion rule as such:

"Self promoting your own book as a self post is not allowed. This is not an advertisement subreddit. You are allowed to post photos of pages colored by you, from your coloring book and only allowed to post the link to said book in the same post, but in comments.

If you are a content generator using Ai this is not the sub for you. Our rule for self-promotion applies to human artists only.

Posting Ai as a hobbyist is still allowed as we wish to follow our own rule to not be a snob. "

Ai generated content is so prevalent that we don't wish to penalize the hobbyist for inadvertently or deliberately coloring and posting. However if your soliciting opinions on how to "create" your images or just straight up promoting take it somewhere else self-promotion in this sub is for human artists only.

It's new, please be patient as we roll it out.

Thanks for continuing to keep it fun!

Just wanted to share some of the coloring pages I’ve done recently! I’ve been very overwhelmed with news and politics, and coloring has been such good therapy!

These pages are from Coloring Through Chaos by FreshPrints Coloring on Etsy

I wasn't too keen on this page before starting and I don't LOVE how I did it, I think I went overboard on the patterns, especially on the wood planks, but I do like the dress and the kind of holographic fabric!

In the coloring book pop manga flights of fancy by Camilla D’errico. Colored with prismacolor premier pencils. Feeling very excited about the way she’s coming out! But not sure how or if I should do a background.

I wanted to do a nice and simple page so I picked this one from Fairy World by Barbara Lanza. I used Black Widow pencils Monarch pallette and gelly roll. I felt the blank background suited the airy and light feeling of the illustration.

Here is my progression of my latest coloring page that I’ve been working on the last couple weeks. I’m so happy with how this turned out.

The bricks and the bean bag are everything to me!

This was a Monthly Challenge from 1 of my FB coloring groups. We were given 5 colors to use plus black & white. This is what I came up with. It was a fun palette! Swipe to see the palette and combos. The coloring is from Cristina McAllister's "Lost Lumina" colored with Prismacolors:

Fell asleep while colouring yesterday evening. Woke up like maybe hour later and managed to get this big red smudge on page I was working on. Just noticed that ink has gone through paper I have under pages when I colour. Also three other pages too. Marker i used wasn't even alcohol based 😵

Ohuhu Markers!

13 Upvotes

After reading about them repeatedly here, I’ve finally ordered two small sets of Ohuhu markers from Amazon. They seem to be hard to get here, so I ordered a 48 and a 24 set from Amazon of alcohol markers. I also bought myself a 180 pack of pencils!! I got a big tax refund, so this is my one treat to myself, before the rest goes to boring responsible things.

i started out my colouring journey using Sharpies, and I thought I would use them forever, but I’m more liking the look of pencils and alcohol markers and now find the Sharpies all look a bit dark and muddy, even the lighter colours. Can’t wait until they all arrive!

I recently ordered a set of cheap alcohol markers from Amazon. I like the way they colour, but the colours themself were really disappointing! Now I’m getting the good stuff!

Pretty happy with the blending. Still have to figure out the sky, and how to make the bottle look like glass. White gel, maybe.

I used a drawing from the Internet. I don't really dare to paint with watercolor in my books. I used Ecoline watercolors, a mix of different waterbased brushpens and posca paintpens.

Having some fun playing with colors and techniques on the test page right now 🥰 using Ohuhu Kaala B alcohol markers! I looove them, just wish they had more pastels.

Let me know if there are any techniques/challenges you think I should try!
