My favorite of your completed pages is the whale in Enchanted Creatures. It is beautiful. I also love the mermaid in Creative Haven Enchanted. You are so talented. I enjoy seeing your work whether completed or not.

Love your page in Animaux des bois. I have this book and i LOVE IT , did the two first pages. Was glad to see what you did in it. ❤

The strawberries on the postcard are amazing! You are so talented.

Beautiful! No matter what medium you use. Even with the inexpensive pencils you can color as if they were your beloved Albrecht Dürer pencils. you are so talented. I love all your colorings and enjoy watching them.

Just watched this Shel and your completed pages are so beautiful 😍 I have just ordered a couple of the books and can’t wait to receive them 😊 xx

Thank you! Did you splatter white and gold acrylic on the background over the ink? I did not hear you say but I may have missed it.

Please talk more. 😊 It was nice getting to know a little bit about you. Really enjoyed this video. Your page is beautiful. That purple and teal is everything. Would love to see the finished product.

They're all o beautiful! But the absolute winner for me is the paule brun one. Also quite liked the watercolor mushrooms and Christl Vogls' page.

Hey Shelly. This is Wanda. I am trying to remember the videos I watch, so that I am not repeating my comments. And, I know this video is a month old, but I am going to watch as many of your older videos as possible. I love your soothing voice and you are really good at sharing your skills with others. I love this video. It gives me ideas. I bought the Daydreams because of you. And if you haven't already, that beautiful double page, you marked is super cute. I would love for you to color it this summer. I also bought Tales from the Forest Kingdom because of you. It was a double spread in their that you tagged. It is so cute. I know it will be beautiful when you color it. Tfs

Fantastic as always, I love the whale one best, the colours are amazing.

They whale was my favorite 😍 😍

Was that background with watercolour pencils? Are you blending with a wet brush pen? I’m new trying to learn and understand 🫣

Beautiful work. May I ask where do you buy her books?

I totally understand your frustration with your smurfs book. Love your pages.😍

Hi Shelly, thanks for sharing your beautiful colouring ❤

The whale zendoodle ~❣~

You should offer to sell your Smurf book with your pages as is. Someone will buy it from you just to have your colorings. I don't do color by number books either.

Love them all, but your whale picture was my favorite too.

So many pretty pages! The mermaid was my favorite; although, all your pages -- wip and complete -- were beautiful.

Beautiful Coloring Pages

Hello ! I totally agree with you about colouring by numbers (as the Disney for me) : I cannot be creative. I only do few colouring by numbers to unwind 😅 I love your strawberries and the Hanna Karlzon ❤

What tool are you using to base with pastels in such small spaces accurately?

Here is a thought. Do just the outlines on a Smurf page, then transfer the outlines to nice paper and color it with your pencils. Best of both worlds. You may find it easiest to photocopy the page before tracing so you don't get the backside lines showing through if you are using a window or lightpad. You can also reduce the size of the image if you wish during the photocopy process, since they are so simple they can easily go down to a half or quarter size sheet. Tracing paper won't have that issue.

I’ve done water coloring for many years and I’m astounded at how quickly you are picking it up. You are doing such a good job and should be very proud of yourself!

I agree, I much prefer small pages in general than multiple small things stuck randomly on a page. So a smaller size book with full pages. I hope that makes sense. To me, having the separate designs on a large page just makes for clutter.

Hi Shelly very beautiful pages as always😊💜

Hello Shelly. I love all your colored pages. The mermaid and the whale are my favorites. I had questions about the Pablo Pencils and NEOCOLOR II Pencils, but I just found an older video of yours discussing it. Question: Since you have several uncolored pages, do you keep the crayons used from the set until you complete the page? I know you have hundreds of comments to get to. If you can't get to mine, I totally understand. Have a great day. See you on the next video. Xoxo 😊

I cant do colour with number books, it frustrates me too. If i want to do mindless colouring my go to books are mandalas.

Thank you for the flip through

Hi Shel! Your Finished Pictures are Absolutely Gorgeous! That Smurf Book will look Absolutely Beautiful on the Shelf, lol!! Have a Wonderful Day My Friend!💜💜

Beautiful work thanks for sharing.

Wonderful pages!! I really loved the whale page too. Hoping to get my copy of that book here soon ☺️ I agree with you about color by number books. I tried so many different ones and they just didn’t give me the feeling I was looking for. And yes, I absolutely got grumpy about using up my supplies in a page I wasn’t going to love in the end. You definitely gave it your all, but some styles are just not a good fit. Thanks for sharing Shelly! Take care ☺️

Free yourself and get rid of that color by number book. You tried it, it’s not for you, and that’s okay. There are more mindless coloring options out there - even Smurfs. 😊

Beautiful pictures, as always! Can you tell me where I can buy the Colorya Tiny Petits book? I looked on Amazon but didn’t see it.

Beautiful pages Shelly you age amazing 🌸and no I totally understand you with the colour by number I don’t like them either

Beautiful pages. I love the WIP of the ducks, cannot wait to see the finished page.

Hi Shel the name of the publisher is by maraboo as English pronunciation you are an amazing colorist I love your style and I enjoyed your tutorials thanks 💐

Gorgeous pages my favorite is the mermaid at the end.

You should try Neo Color I with the color by number book. You can base with the affordable Crayola markers or an inexpensive brand and then go over with the Neo I and you might enjoy it a little more. I hate seeing the numbers and streaks. Your pages are beautiful as always. 🤩

I loved all the pages, even the wips but what stood out for me was the whale. In the wips i saw a future bomb. I love books, especially old ones and/or with leather covers (i have a few small classics, left to me by an uncle, that have leather covers and the colors are stunning: red, greens, maroons, black and white) so I can't wait to see your finished page in Mythographic Labirynth. It will be E P I C !!! Cheers from Italy. Dan 🧡

Beautiful pages as always! Please don’t be disappointed in yourself over the Smurf book! Everyone has different styles and no book will fit all people. There are some really popular books that I just can’t get into. Thanks for sharing!

I also struggled with the color by numbers! It did not make me relax at all. In fact, I ended up with a migraine from trying to read the super tiny numbers everywhere. I thankfully did not even try to color in it and returned mine.

I love the whale and the mermaid page! Such nice colour palettes! 😊

Wow what an amazing group of completed pages!!! Beautiful stuff Shel!! My favourite is the bird page 😊

Love your videos. You are my inspiration. Thank you for beeing you ❤

I'm using the sneaker page in Worlds within Worlds to practice with my new Albrecht Durers (inspired by your page). Can you tell what colors you used for your background? I love your channel.

Absolutely Amazing. This is the cutest coloring page ever. I learned so much today. Thanks to you, I went to Amazon and purchased the 100 set of Derwent Intense Pencils and that coloring book. I will come back another day and do a color-along once I have my supplies. Tfs

Great video. You are so organized. I have not previously liked swatching my supplies. However, after I bought the 320 Ohulu Honolulu Alcohol Markers and the sheet came with it, I enjoyed that. I'm not sure how much I would enjoy it if I had to make a DIY chart myself. 😂

Hello Shelly. Thank you for the flip through of this amazing book. I paused the video and just purchased it from Amazon. Keep your flip throughs like this. I love to hear your thoughts and amusement regarding the book. I also love how you talk about a few items of the pictures and how you may color them. Have a blessed day.

Oh my goodness I just love your colorist style! Now are you burnishing your pencils to get this vibrancy or using Tombow to base? B/C there is no ghosting on the other page! How do you do that? Also, I have arthritis so I have to color digitally (less wrist pressure) can you PLEASE do a video or mention your favorite illustrators that offer pdf versions? I just purchased Morgan O'Brien and RJ Hampson PDF Books but cant find any LEGAL Japanese versions of books except maybe a free sheet here and there from their websites! :(
