Free Coloring Page of The Week ~ 11.4.15

This is a new thing I'm going to try.  It occurred to me that I could actually make original coloring pages myself, so I present you with the new Free Jinger Free Coloring Page of the Week.   I'll try to post these every Wednesday, but I'm not going to guarantee it always happens on a Wednesday because time is hard for me Please give any feedback you might have in the comments. Happy Coloring!

Dragon's eye

I did the eye weeks ago, and it took me ages to do the background out of pure laziness. I've discovered that some backgrounds can be boring, and that makes it take way longer to do. And makes me pay less attention to do a good job with coloring (strokes, filling out color, etc). This is from the Harry Potter: magical creatures coloring book. I colored with crayons.

Animal Crackers

This great blog has inspired me to think about drawing my own stuff to color again!  Here's one of my originals from a few years back, colored with Prismacolor markers.  I'm not that great at drawing, but I love coloring!

A page from 'the time chamber'

This book is by Daria Song. I enjoyed doing this as it was a nice change of pace.  (Maybe overdid the yellow, but I do like yellow.) (Photo seems out of focus.)

Secret Garden, page 1

It is a work in progress, but so much fun and so relaxing!   So far I am using stabilo pens, with a few colored pencil accents here and there. but I'm thinking of using pencil to shade the background in a midnight blue when I'm finished.

A flamingo postcard

This is from Millie Marotta's Animal Kingdom postcards, which I received as a Christmas present.  It took some getting used to because the cardstock is very smooth, which I don't like as much as regular paper, although it made it very easy to blend colours.  I'm reeeaally happy with it, and have no intention of letting it get scuffed up in the mail!  Happy 2016, FJ Colourists!  May your coloured pencils remain sharp, and your pens filled with ink...

Gryffindor

I done Gryffindor today as it is my House coat of arms, I used Crayola supertips, sharpies and a stabilo fine liner. I have the other 3 houses still to do but not sure when I will get them done.

Pokey Power!

Do any of you remember Pokey?  He was one of my favorites as a kid and even now I have several Gumby and Pokey figures around the house that make me smile. I used one of them as a model for this drawing I did last night. Wanted to color Pokey...so had to draw it myself!  Am working on another page from the Creative Cats book now...the one with the cat curled up on the big chair. That one may be awhile.

Cuckoo Clock Cat!

My latest finished page from the Creative Cats book...my favorite coloring book so far.  I love her designs!  Am now working on a page in her Owls book, the one with the Owl and the Pussycat in their boat.

Compass

Finished another page from Enchanted Forest. This one is/was my favourite so far! I was going to colour in the background of the compass, but I was too afraid to ruin it.

Enchanted Forest Owl

This is the first one I did with my new prismacolours, and this was kind of a chance to test out the colour, how much pressure to apply, etc. I'm happy with how it turned out (plus I love owls). Stay tuned... there's a squirrel coming up next.

Top Hat Cat/Creative Cats Book

My latest effort from the Creative Cats coloring book...my favorite book so far.  Prismacolor, Winsor-Newton, and Staedtler fineliner markers. Just got the owl book by the same artist and am working on a page in the NatureScapes book right now.

Bright owl

Happy to find this blog and join in I really enjoy adult coloring. I love the neon bright colors. I used pencil, markers and highlighters on this bright owl. I host a group once a month at our library called Fifty Shades of Coloring lol. We make bookmarks and other things and then laminate the bookmarks. It's interesting to see how people color the same image in neat and various ways.

First post - yarr harr mates!

It's not as if I needed more ways for FJ to help me procrastinate... but this blog...   I just finished this one from Lost Ocean.  I usually use lots of colours, so felt like trying something completely different.  I made some mistakes because I only decided to colour the background in black about halfway through.  I think the grey scale works with the skull and cross bones design, but it was too boring to do again anytime soon.  Thanks to you guys I now want gel metallic pens!

This is Why They Don't Let Me Design Wallpaper

This is the first picture I did, a two page spread from The Time Garden. I guess I decided to jump in with both feet! I do like the way the wallpaper looks, but I think in real life if would be crazy overwhelming. I originally planned to color in the wallpaper background black, but gave up on that idea when I realized just how much work it would be. Plus I think it would be very difficult to keep it from looking s

The Owl & The Pussycat Went To Sea...

Just finished this one!  The holiday time off has given me the opportunity to color, color, color!   Hope I'm not hogging the blog with my posts.  Once again, the original page's colors are more vivid, but I did the best I could to get a good photo to post.  This is from the Owls book by Creative Haven.

Hummingbirds

This is another page from the Artist's Edition of Secret Garden, done with colored pencils. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

Secret garden: a million leaves a million colors

I wondered what it would look like if I used every colored pencil on the same amount of leaves. So this happened. Every pencil is used on 7 leaves (unless I screwed up) PS. You can thank me for the FAQ access with jelly beans.  apparently being part of a cult had us with restricted access

      Wishing I had a dollar for every time I burped on my back porch after dark and set off a neighbor's dog. The best part is that I'm sure everyone think it's my BF and not me, because it's surely not possible such a huge noise could come out of my body.
