Good morning everyone! I finally finished with swatching everything I have which may not seem a lot. Added a little video if you all want to watch! Next up is cute coloring books!! I plan on using markers to finally practice shading since I’m used to pencil or pen. Do you all enjoy coloring books and what’s your favorite medium for them? Colored pencils, crayons, markers? Let me know down below!
