IZ AND WHEEZY COLLAB?! WHAT WHAT WHAT. I LOVE HER!

Iz Harris: What is the name of your colring book? I Love it!!💜

@@Char__Latte looked like Johanna Basford's Secret Garden

Wagwarn with the mentality that you can’t grasp meditation or mindfulness? You can’t just flat out go nah, that’s something I ain’t doing lol.

😂😂😂😂

we sure do! 😂

To add to this: there's an app called "Pigments" that randomly generates color pallets that might help you better visualize the colors that you might want to use

Ohuhu are nice alcohol markers that won't break the bank. Just wanna make sure you have a coloring book with thiccc pages or kiss that back page goodbye... They'll bleed through a few pages if you gotta shitty coloring book...lol😉🖍️🖌️📚

I use markers too. Quality coloring books have thick enough paper that I’ve never had it bleed through. And I agree with keeping it to a limited number of colors, although I might do as many as 7-8.

Some coloring books also have swatch pages where you can test color combos ☺️

I used markers for awhile, it was really fast (I give my pages away as gifts) but not relaxing.

I feel you. The instant consuming of art now is making people think we do everthing quickly

Also an artist, here thinking the same thing... 😂

Thissssss X's infinity & beyond!

this!! louder for the people on the back! :)

The industry is saturated. When I started as a digital artist 20+ years ago, the competition wasn’t as intense. I can’t put my finger on why, exactly, the Internet changed that, but I’m certain that it did. One thing possibly... in the 90s, the price of software was seen as a lot, since most people were barely learning WordPerfect. Also, you didn’t get a job unless you were fully trained in everything software did. Now, people learn the 10 most used Photoshop tools on KZfaq and think they are a full fledged designer like I consider myself. Lots of things along those lines, but the video is ending, so...

:D knowing you watch this channel just made me so happy omg

@@KaitlinGaspar Craig is the BEST.

Yesss its amazing! Where can i get one?

Omg, can't handle the amount of crossovers of awesome channels in and under this video. 😂😂

@Maester Gryphon : I bought a bunch of C⭕️MIC B👀K coloring b👀ks and a few C⭕️PIC markers from BLICK ART MATERIALS in Manhattan over the past few months , now every weekend or when i have FREE TIME i will try and do a PAGE✍🏿 , i might even start a YOU-TUBE CHANNEL about it ..

Do you have any colouring books you can recommend? :)

agree some coloring books just upset me with how complex they are

Woah! It's crabstickz!

Word by default corrects color

Got any specific pen recommendations?

That's an amazing idea, but the problem is, the partner must also be just as interested in colouring or any activity like this. I would LOVE to have a date like this where we just sit and colour, but my husband has a very short attention span. He gets bored easily and tends to give up :((

@@khantayesha My husband would NEVER do this. He is a wonderful person, but he has no interest in any type of artistic activity. BTW- his mom is an excellent artist.

Did you get into a relationship since?

@@greatwhitesufi now married with our first baby on the way - and he loves taking slow and intentional moments together 🥹🥰

I'm a nurse and we had this one patient who colored this intricate mandala over his stay. He all complimented him on it all the time. When he left, he left it for us. Sometimes it's the small things

@@smoupnhoize, awww I love that story! I made decorations for the walls and ceiling while I was there. Constructed out of supplies I could use or recycle from around my room. (Laytex gloves, the giant rubber band they put around your arm before a blood draw, the paper sleeve my silverware came in, dessert plates, the cellophane wrap that came around my flowers etc.) Eventually I made a cute Halloween scene for the wall next to my bed and Autumn leaves that hung from the ceiling. When I was finally discharged I gave many of the decorations to be used in or around the nurses station. ~ Later I was approved to make Christmas decorations to drop off! One of the nurses took pictures and sent them via text for me to see. It was a lot of fun! I'm sure things would be totally different this year with covid. ~ Nurses can make a hospital stay so much more enjoyable! Thank you for what you do. :)

@@yvonnew5186 you sound like such a lovely person & i’m glad to hear you’re out of hospital & hopefully doing well now :) What a way to brighten your stay while you were there - resourcefully transforming disposable items into unique little works of art! Well done to you, we could all learn a lesson from that! :)

@@smoupnhoize wow this is beautiful, I had a very long stay at a hospital from a bad crash that messed my spinal chord and gave me some brain damage. This happened in 05 and I wish I would have given coloring-book instead of puzzles. I now found this and love it as long as pain ain’t to much. Much love nurse! Also great story!

Well I would say she already found it! It's the wine!

I was looking for this comment. I just want China to get some chillax vibe relief too !!! I'm worried lmao

@@slm613 Ch→ y ←na

I'm sure she just lets it go but I figure I'll help her out because I know it bothers her

@@better.better As a Sarah with an H I appreciate your effort. Drives me nuts when friends and family or teachers when I was in school, didn't spell my name correctly. Especially now with social media and such they see my name right there on Facebook or whatever!

Agreed. I tried this trend and found it was overwhelming by the sheer amount of time I was spending essentially creating something that's basically useless. I'd rather be learning a new skill, or a bit of history.

Yes. Sometimes the intricate ones seem like a good idea but when I go to actually color it I'm faced with feelings of despair and dread and generally overwhelmed. Sometimes it makes my head hurt with all the tiny details. I've discovered I prefer ones not too complicated and that I can excape into the world and the stories I come up with.

I bought one of these when they were being marketed as mindfulness colouring books rather than just adult colouring books and I was dealing with bad anxiety at the time. I think the intricate patterns are good if you want to get out of your head because it forces you to focus on a thing. But yeah, they're not much fun and I never fill finished any of the really intricate pages because it takes too long.

Yeah using a pencil to colour these sorts of things makes me more stressed. Lol. but painting em with watercolour is better for me. Not perfect but better.

I feel judged by coloring books because the ones I like are always advertised for the visually impaired or for people with dementia... I just want designs that are nice but not super intricate that I get mad at them

yesssss

how thick is the paper so it can withstand watercolor? thinking of trying this :)

@@mewmew8909 I bought the secret garden one and it works fine if you use really little amounts of water.

YEEEEEEES, really more relaxing. I find hard to relax when the colors aren't saturated, and they are easily spread in a nice coat with watercolor

@@estudamarilia4631 Ooh I have that one, and I have been getting into watercolors too. I should totally try that!

Yes! Or crocheting, as that might be a little easier for a beginner to pick up.

Or loom knitting 😍

@@sierra8802 I second crocheting if the goal is to relax. I've taught both to friends, and crocheting is more forgiving for common beginner issues like yarn tension and dropping stitches.

And then we can make old jokes!

I had to knit a bear for a class in high school and it was one of the most stressful things I've ever done. I'm already an extreme perfectionist and already very slow-paced at everything (not just because of the perfectionism but also because of ADHD). So when I was way behind all of my classmates, had no hope of meeting the deadline AND my bear looked awful, I hated it so much. That's the biggest problem with school I think. It takes something that would otherwise be fun, relaxing and fulfilling and imposes unforgiving deadlines, forces you to compare yourself with others and makes you feel judged and ashamed for not meeting a specific standard. If the goal was to teach me a useful life skill, I definitely would have been much more likely to continue knitting if this experience wasn't so negative.

I would love that.

‘People of Walmart’ coloring book, that should be considered “naughty” 😖

(If anyone is looking for an adult theme colouring book Hannah Whitton does Sexy Scribbles and has a whole bunch of sex and relationship themed KZfaq content, she's great :) )

Like Kama Sutra but you have to fill in the colours

Don't worry, I'm certain someone's already managed to make an NSFW coloring book

Except for the Patriots shirt

I was going to comment on that! He has one of the most Midwest accent I’ve ever heard (and I’m from Chicago)

Same. And very unsatisfying result

Yes, i agree... the city scape is too busy...pick a book where you can complete a page in a few hours.... I often use Kids coloring books and freehand draw in mountain backgrounds. One fun aspect is to work texture and shading within the shapes, the creativity goes much farther than just color selection. My favorite books are scary dinosaur color books or superhero books... use markers too... pencil colors are too subtle you want drama and boldness... Markers also give you the ability to combine and smear colors together...

Yes, giving yourself little rules at the beginning of each page takes away some of the decision stress in the moment!

I did that just three colors over the whole page. It was fun but to look back at it gives me a bit of the crazys.

Use a coloring set with only 24 colors instead of 120.

Thanks for the tips! I have so many adult coloring books that are all blank bc it stresses me out just thinking about planning or messing up

I like to pick out some purples or some greens of whether and just stick to them. Nice and simple

I'm from Peterborough and it will forever be known as Dad's island to me now

👁👄👁

Yes, I love colour by number! There's also paint by number which I haven't tried yet.

I came to the comments to see if anyone suggested color-by-number! That's what I got because otherwise it would take me longer to choose the colors than it would to actually color the picture and I would just stress over making the right choice.

@@nicoleholst0612yup same

Aw shucks, Blake. You're great.

Yeah, this colored my day

actually they make crayons for the bath

😁

Omg that soundS SO FUN!!!

@@squeezeliz My 5 year old nephew loves them - they are indeed lots of fun. Drawback is: you're done pretty quickly, so a colouring book is definitely way better value for your money. But I agree, it's a nice way to ease into creative pursuits.

Crayons are so fun and kids coloring books are cheaper too!

@@ThePointedPaintbrush I agree ! You can also get free coloring book pages if you have a printer, and crayons are less than 5 dollars, too. These two things with some relaxing music? Chefs kiss 😚

and then playdoh

yes, it works! :)

WheezyWaiter tests bingewatching porn for a month

don't know what that says about me that I would watch it

I'm down for that version 😆

yeah when I used to color with my kids I would always just add my own embellishments to it. and I always added lighting and shadows

Weird flex but ok

Looked like a bat? 👀
