365 DAYS OF COLORING: Completed Pages, Regrets & Goals for 2025

[@dora9368]

I love your channel and the channel of My Colorful Country Life😊❤

[@apicturedpurpose]

Her channel is definitely a massive inspiration of mine! 😍✨

[@katiebell8872]

Don't judge me. I only started in September with 2 books. I have since accumulated over 100 books, digital books included. I made a spreadsheet. I'm obsessed.

[@lauras4472]

Collecting books is addictive🤣

[@thewanderingstarseed]

Thank you for your transparency 🤍✨ I did the same with yarn this year. Also some coloring books and art supplies thrown into the mix. This year I’m starting a no buy year lol

[@laredo2393]

I just got the mungyo oil pastels. I told myself that I would not get them because they look so messy, but I gave in when one of my favorite colorist used them in a tutorial I wanted to follow. I’m so glad I did!

[@trailertreasure]

We listen and we don’t judge! (Impressive 😂)

[@Make_Learn_Laugh]

@@katiebell8872 No judgement here! Since October, I have bought more watercolors, alcohol markers, acrylic markers, oil pastels, fixative, fine liners, polychromos colored pencils (technically a gift, the 120 set). Not counting about 12 coloring books. 🤷‍♀️ I blame Kyra. 😆 Watching get videos just makes me want to color! 😻

[@JAMIES_LIFE_101]

Fantastic Video love watching your Channel this year can't wait to see what you bring next year

[@apicturedpurpose]

Thanks so much for watching! 💖

[@anitawaclawik4286]

I enjoyed this video. I am interested in your upcoming technique tutorials because I like your style of colouring. Congratulations on future wedding plans & move. I hope they both go well.

[@Make_Learn_Laugh]

Yup. Always test! I have ripped out a page and I just started in October 2024. I used too much water and it warped the page and the watercolor pencils didn't blend as I wanted.

[@apicturedpurpose]

It's always disappointing isn't it! But all we can do is learn from the little mishaps along the way 😅💖

[@tammythomas9030]

Yes! You must try the polychromos pencils!!!

[@apicturedpurpose]

I’ve heard great things about them, I'll definitely give them a try in 2025! 😍

[@Make_Learn_Laugh]

@@apicturedpurpose I will say they are oil not wax. I'm quite heavy handed even though I'm trying not to be. The pigment takes a bit time to appear with Polychromos vs Prismacolor. They take patience and a light hand with lots of layers to work properly!! Can someone come gently slap my hand when I'm pushing too hard please? 😆 Halp! I like how my polychromos hold a sharp tip longer than prismacolor though.

[@apicturedpurpose]

Haha I understand the heavy handed struggle! Thank you so much for the tips! I’ll definitely take into consideration ☺️💖

[@kyliescolouringindownunder3098]

Hi lovely all of your pages are just amazing hun.. thank you for sharing the questions and loved your answers.. I hope 2025 is going to be a better year ahead thank you for sharing ❤❤❤😊😊😊xxxx

[@apicturedpurpose]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Happy new year Kylie 🥰

[@samanthaoswald3675]

I love this channel, i learn so many new techniques and ive been coloring for over 10 years, I always love finding new channels to watch! enjoyed this end of year tag and will do this on my chanel too :).

[@apicturedpurpose]

Thank you for watching! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥰✨

[@sjferguson]

I bought the 12 set of Polychromos pencils and at first I didn't like them because they are very different from Prismacolors but after working with them I think I really like them. They don't blend well with Prismacolors (wax vs oil) but I find them to be wonderful to work with now that I'm more familiar with their properties. I just want you to know how much I enjoy your content. Your videos always bring a smile and always inspire. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a happy and prosperous new year. Much love from Texas ❤️ P.S. You better upload just a wee video of your wedding 🤣 you know we want to see your dress. I think you'll be a beautiful bride 🙂

[@apicturedpurpose]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with Polychromos! I definitely plan on sharing some wedding content next year 😉💍

[@thewanderingstarseed]

Challenge idea: would love to see a monochromatic page!

[@apicturedpurpose]

DEFINITELY! Wish me luck 😅🌈

[@kayen7889]

Congrats on your upcoming wedding 💍❤ and I’m also IMPATIENTLY waiting for eng ver of sagen and dream voyage to release too 😅

[@apicturedpurpose]

Thank you so much! And yes impatient is definitely how I'm feeling as well 😅

[@jblee56711]

You can by polys as loose stock at office works.

[@apicturedpurpose]

That's a great tip, thank you! I'll have to look into that! 😊

[@leahmommy7711]

Other than a million kittens, we are waiting for the same books lol. I just CANNOT wait to see Melpomeni’s book!

[@apicturedpurpose]

I have a feeling Dream Voyage is going to be AMAZING 🤩 🙌🏻

[@olwynbowden5193]

I am new to your channel and I love all your videos. Thank you so much

[@apicturedpurpose]

Thank you so much for watching! 🤩💕

[@bizzylizzysmith7163]

I have really enjoyed watching your channel this year and look forward to seeing your new videos in 2025. I like the idea of a monochromatic but haven’t been game to try it myself. Also interested in your thoughts on Polychromos. I also started off with Brutfuners (squares), progressed to Prismacolors and am now starting to explore Polychromos. I just bought 4 open stock and liked them enough to order a larger set. Aesthetically they are beautiful pencils. I envisage using them alongside my Prismas as they are both good for different things. Looking forward to your haul video. Thank you again for the great content you have provided on your channel this year.

[@apicturedpurpose]

Thanks so much for you kind words and supporting the channel! I love the idea of using Polychromos alongside other pencils too. It’s such a good way to get the best of both worlds! 😍

[@oxanags9202]

It's highly probable that you'd fall in love with FC Polychromos. For me those are the most magical pencils I've ever used. They do take time to apply and color with, but the end result is so worth it. Happy holidays and Happy New Year. Looking forward for more videos. Cheers form Spain.

[@apicturedpurpose]

That’s so great to know! Thank you for sharing your experience with the polychromos. I’ll definitely have to try them out in the new year ☺️

[@nicothecat]

Polychromos are brilliant! They are very very different and far superior to prismacolors. I like how they are a hard, oil based pencils so you can build up light layers.

[@apicturedpurpose]

That is so good to know! I'll definitely be trying them out in 2025 🤩

[@ThePreppingArtists]

I have a prepping/survival/homesteading channel right now but I’m thinking about starting an art/craft channel this year, but I’m so nervous about it LOL

[@apicturedpurpose]

I totally understand feeling anxious about starting a new channel! But it is definitely the best thing I did this year 😍🌈

[@Wilcoxmomma1103]

Gah! I really want to get better with galaxy backgrounds too. I’m not sure what I’m getting hung up on but it’s definitely a block for me. Sägen, I can’t wait to get my fingers on that book! Karen from CCL says she likes imusic for getting certain books in so I just may do it . I’ve loved watching you grow ❤❤ can’t wait to see what this next year brings❤❤❤ thank you for doing this video!

[@apicturedpurpose]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Can’t wait to see how your galaxy backgrounds turn out. Perhaps you can try them in Sagen 😉💕

[@Wilcoxmomma1103]

@ hmmmm perhaps 🤔…🫶🏻❤️

[@katrin428]

Hope you had a fun and nice christmas :) And I'm kinda jealous that you got 10 new coloring books >.< can't wait to see what you got~ the coloring books I anticipate in 2025 are dream voyage, mythographic dragonspell and dark fairytales (kerby rosanes) although I will not preorder them as I'm always wait for a flip-through before I buy new coloring books. considering which coloring supplies I want to have/get are acrylic markers either from artxx or artistro and a specific little watercolor set and slowly completing my polychromos collection. I also regret not to have tested my artxx pencils thoroughly enough so now I still have a WIP page, there I used them maybe I should tackle my WIPs before I start any new pages in any of my coloring books xD

[@apicturedpurpose]

I totally agree about waiting for flip-throughs. Most of the time I do that, generally because we get the books later here in Australia haha! I definitely recommend the arrtx simptap acrylic markers. They’re my favorite at the moment 💖

[@katrin428]

@@apicturedpurpose for the arrtx markers I'm still debating between the 60A, 60B, the new 90 Set and the Simptap Set

[@adriannaamato9833]

My ohhuhu markers leave a horrible yellow stain on the opposite page. How can I fix this?

[@apicturedpurpose]

I’m so sorry this is happening for you! Unfortunately I’m not sure how to amend this issue as I’ve never encounter it but hopefully someone will see this comment and have a solution for you! 💖

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

You have done an amazing job in 2024!! 🎉🎉 You are an incredible addition to the coloring community!! 🥰 Your videos are inspiring and uplifting!! 💞 I look forward to seeing your videos pop up on my KZbin notifications!! 😍 I have a year-end question for you as a pencil colorist: What pencils are still untouched or the tallest in your collection, and which ones are the stubbiest or in need of or have been replaced?? This speaks to your favorite and least favorite colors! 😉

[@nicolecapote1724]

I like this question!! When I was done with the video I went into my own pencil stash to answer this about MY pencil crush and the ones I've pretended not to know 🤭. Some were a surprise and some were not 😉

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

@nicolecapote1724 I adore that you did that!! Thank you for the smile!! 🤗

[@apicturedpurpose]

That's a great question! I think you are right, my most used pencils are definitely a clue to my favorite colors! I’d say my greens and blues get used the most and then those that are more muted are definitely the least used. I just love bright, vibrant colors 🌈💖

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

@apicturedpurpose I love bright colors too!! 🌈 I think you may use pink a bit more than you think!! 😉 💞

[@jenwhiteoak]

Hi. I am new to your channel but really enjoying your content. I have always enjoyed colouring but feel like I have zero skill and just do basic colouring. When you were starting out what did you do to improve your skills? Its all a bit daunting 🥴

[@lauras4472]

I agree. Also not having much time to color more and improve is a bit frustrating

[@oxanags9202]

Try tutorials by Claire from Colour with Claire. I don't have skills for art, but her videos literally opened my eyes. I've learned 3-4 basic rules and then, suddenly, there was light at the end of the tunnel, :)

[@apicturedpurpose]

I totally understand the feeling! When I was starting out, I did a lot of color alongs and just tried replicating other people’s work (with credit of course) with the supplies I had on hand. Definitely check out some of my tutorials on the channel as well, hopefully they’ll help! 💖✨

[@vrizzy]

Are we getting a "what i got for Christmas video" ? 😅

[@apicturedpurpose]

It may or may not be my next video... 😉 💖

[@thewanderingstarseed]

I’m still trying to like Polychromos… I end up putting them away every time and grab my Prismas instead.

[@apicturedpurpose]

That's so fair, I do love my Prismas. That's definitely why I'm going to start off with a smaller set. I'm trying to resist my "full-set" mindset haha 😝 💖

[@francescazoffuto3160]

Hi I am new to your channel and I love everyone videos and coloring pages I love castle art supplies and I love Deborah muller and kameliya angelkova coloring books I got Deborah muller 250 coloring book and I hoping to get the mermaid one for may I did 674 pictures for a lot of years ❤😊 I rip out coloring pages because it's easier for me to color but can you do a 250 coloring book challenge like I am going to do

[@apicturedpurpose]

Welcome to the channel! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos. It’s sounds like you’ve got some amazing books on your hands and a lot of completed pages too! 💖

[@sues7227]

I would like to learn how to do a boka background, too. A how to do it video would be great, thanks. Thanks also for your videos. They were good to watch. One suggestion, and I hope you don't mind me saying. I feel like you are raising your voice unnaturally for the microphone. It means from this end is sounds un natural and slightly yelling. Ps I am Aussie too so get your accent and it isn't that. No offence meant, I would like to see you do well for all your effort, thanks.

[@apicturedpurpose]

Thanks for your feedback. I’m theatrically trained so I’m used to projecting a lot and am just a very loud human in general 😅 I’ll try to tone it down in the future 👍🏻

[@sues7227]

@apicturedpurpose No problem, I just wasn't sure if you knew. May not bother everyone anyway. Happy New Year to you and your busy year ahead.
