If you’ve been thinking about creating a coloring book (kids, adults, affirmations, faith, seasonal, niche-based), this is one of the easiest ways to do it using AI + Canva. You do not need drawing skills. STEP 1: Decide Your Coloring Book Theme Start with a clear theme. This makes everything else easier. Examples: - Affirmations for Women - Black History Icons - Kids Alphabet Animals - Faith-Based Coloring Pages - Stress Relief Mandalas - Seasonal (Valentine’s, Easter, Back to School) Pick one audience + one purpose. STEP 2: Use ChatGPT to Plan the Book Come to ChatGPT first to map everything out. Prompt example: Create a 20-page coloring book outline for [THEME]. Include page ideas and short captions suitable for coloring books. ChatGPT can give you: - Page ideas (what each illustration should be) - Optional captions or affirmations - Title ideas - Age-appropriate wording Save this outline. This becomes your blueprint. STEP 3: Generate Coloring Page Art with AI (Whisk or Others) Now create the actual black-and-white line art. Whisk / AI Image Prompt Example: Black and white coloring page illustration of a confident Black woman with natural hair, simple bold outlines, no shading, no grayscale, clean line art, large open spaces for coloring, white background, printable style. Important tips for coloring pages: - Say black and white - Say no shading - Say bold outlines - Say white background - Say printable coloring page Generate multiple images until you have enough pages. STEP 4: Upload Everything to Canva Open Canva → Create a custom size: - 8.5 x 11 inches (standard coloring book size) Upload your AI images. For each page: - Place one image per page - Center it - Keep margins clean - Optional: add a short caption or affirmation at the bottom Example caption pages: - “I am strong.” - “God is with me.” - “I can do hard things.” STEP 5: Create the Cover in Canva Your cover matters. Include: - Book title - Subtitle - Clean, eye-catching design - Color (covers should be colorful, inside pages stay black & white)

Hustle doesn’t mean heavy. You’ve been carrying a lot, building a lot, and believing a lot — but don’t forget to breathe. Grace is not weakness; it’s wisdom. God isn’t asking you to do it all; He’s asking you to do what He called you to — and rest in Him for the rest. God, thank You for the reminder that my grind is nothing without Your grace. Help me to balance work with worship, ambition with alignment, and purpose with peace. Order my steps, and remind me that I don’t have to chase what You’ve already promised. Amen. Scripture: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28 Affirmation: I can hustle with peace. I can build without burnout. I’m aligned, anointed, and anchored in grace. 💬 Drop “GRACE IN THE GRIND” if you’re learning to work smart, rest often, and trust more.
