Have you ever been nervous about starting a new coloring page? Afraid to ruin a design before you even begin?

Once you fill this interactive book with your own notes and colored swatches, it just might become your go-to book when you want to remember how you colored something that turned out really well, or which blending techniques or mix of pencils and colors gave you the results you wanted. It's your book to personalize and store all your treasured coloring ideas. And you can apply your notes from this art journal to coloring pages in other coloring books in your collection, too

*** Colored pencils are recommended
*** Not recommended for heavy markers like Copics or Sharpies as bleeding will occur.
*** Watercolor pencils and watercolors are fine, though saturating the pages with water are not advised.
The artist/author encourages colorists to feel free to make copies of the plates (for personal use only) to experiment with color pallets, try art on different types of paper and card stock with different media (like markers and watercolor), and to keep a clean copy of the illustration in tact for future coloring projects.
*** The pages in this book are not perforated, but you may carefully score them with a ruler and blade for removal.
Please visit my Author page for more photos of the book's interior, thumbnails of the 22 illustrations in Volume 1, and several videos of the cover art coloring. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:
Previously RubyCharmColors' collection of line art was only to be found as PDF downloads on Etsy and it is now with great joy that we see vol 1 of what I can only hope to be an ever-growing collection. It is a colouring book with a difference though, as it is also a journal for your colouring journey, it contains tips and ticks and also colouring charts and wheels to help you along the way. The paper has pretty good tooth and holds up well to the rigours of blending and burnishing. With 22 beautifully illustrated plates and space to make notes about your technique and colour choice as well as an introduction to each piece of line art this book is a must for all adult colouring enthusiasts.
