Who likes to color?

Post Reply New Topic

Eh, I've never liked it as much as simply sketching. Maybe it's because I'm worse at it. Can never get the shading quite right either.

I love coloring! It's the one thing I look forward to when drawing. I like the coloring part better than the actual drawing part itself. Sometimes, I draw just so I can color.

I find colouring books are a good way to practice shading, nothing like injecting some life into a otherwise flat, dull and usually poorly drawn picture with some pencils and a few pens.

I would colour texts in school. Because teachers tell you to mark important things and I coloured half of the text, usually. I considered most of it to be important. Maybe not all of it was relevant for the task though...

Colouring can be a real fun activity. Colours can change things a lot. I love the idea that if you paint the sky purple and the grass red, it can have a totally different effect on how you perceive it.


I always suffer from people telling me I can draw well because I feel I perform so badly. If I draw, it always looks quirky and... well, not perfect anyway. I can't copy things at all, my drawings always have mixed up proportions. But colouring can be fun. Colouring is the only fun thing about drawing.
