ADULT COLORING FOR BEGINNERS | WHERE TO START WITHOUT FEELING OVERWHELMED

[@bonniekauffman2828]

I love how you are saying we don't have to color a whole page. "lightbulb moment" "Pick an image." "Straight color." How freeing is that for a beginner!!! Thank you for the encouragement...❤️

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Yes! Baby steps! It can get overwhelming looking at a page as a whole instead of looking at one object at a time and keeping that as your focus. Move on later when you're ready.

[@michellechapman8738]

Awesome... I never complete a whole page.. I just pick the main object on the page and color.

[@theimperfectscrapper5313]

I’m currently battling cancer, and the ColorIt glitter gel pens and the ColorIt mandala book have been fantastic during this time, I don’t have to focus too much on blending, colour combos or anything. I can just sit down and add colour and it looks fantastic. Highly recommend the product for beginners.

[@destinythomas9492]

I love your videos when you start talking about pencils you say “don’t need them all” but the addiction is real so I hear “you need them all” 🤣. No seriously I truly appreciate the work you put into these videos and how much I have learned from you. Thank you ❤️

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Oh this made me smile! We don't need them all, but we WANT them all! Right? LOL

[@jeaninehogshead4710]

Oh yes yes…..we want them all….

[@silentb2084]

I hear you…just had a manic burst during Prime Day in which I bought the Markart 120 set and FIVE sets of Black Widows I hadn’t yet bought. 🤨🙄At least the BW sets were mostly the smaller ones. Except for the Monarch’s. Okay, okay, I admit it: I bought darn near the entire line of BWs in a single day. 🫣🤫Hey, inflation means I probably won’t be able to afford ANY new pencils soon!

[@jeaninehogshead4710]

@@silentb2084 welll……….you know if you have one……..you gotta have them alll !!!!!!!!!!!!! Psssssst [did you get the skin tones……2 sets dark and light]. 🥳😲🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

[@sandysisson1100]

I bought the full set of PC and I have told my mind that that's all I need! And I truly resist the temptation to buy anything else.

[@Jadefox2716]

I would purchase an adult coloring book, only to be overwhelmed and intimidated. Thank you for sharing your gift. You’re an amazing teacher and guide. You are the adult coloring guru.

[@Crafty_Susie]

I have been coloring off and on for the past year but for the last 3 to 4 months I've been really getting into it, but it seems like there is so much to learn especially with the pencils. My goal for 2022 is to use colored pencils properly including shading and lighting. 🥰

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

That's a fantastic goal! There are so many tutorials available on KZbin to follow while you're learning how to use your colored pencils. Enjoy!

[@kathyl4692]

I am really learning so much from your beginner series although I’m not a “true” beginner. I am however, one who has to have it all than I get so overwhelmed that tend not to do anything 😂. Thank you for all the work and time you put into making these detailed and well explained videos and all the links you provide for us. ❤️

[@themaddtatter6679]

Even though I don't consider myself a beginner anymore, I still really appreciate you for making this video. Sometimes even as a more advanced artist, it's sometimes great to simplify things and get back to basics or change pace to prevent the dreaded artist block or even help get over the funk of being in one...👍❤ Thankyou again Pamela, your advice and talent is always amazing. Would love to see you color in one of the miniatures books with your crayola set!!!

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

The Miniature books make me want to bring out my Crayons! I just might do that.

[@themaddtatter6679]

Those books are so stinking cute! Anything you put on them will look amazing!👍💗

[@nickev96]

I was scrolling through my feed and I saw just the top of your video...I was like, yeah, where do I start? I'm feeling so overwhelmed....and you're talking aboit coloring books 🥺 it's okay though, you helped me remember that coloring helps me calm down.

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

I am years into traditional Watercolors and I consider myself such a beginner in the Adult Coloring Book world... I NEED videos like this so I appreciate you! That gray scale book by Jane Summer looks absolutely wonderful!

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Welcome to the wonderful world of adult coloring! I hope you find lots of helpful videos here on my channel. Happy coloring!

[@melissaneel3650]

Useful back to basics even for more experienced colorists. Thanks, Pamela.

You are so welcome!

[@ArtistrybyLisaMarie]

Loving this "back to the beginning" video. Always good to review the basics and refresh my memory! Thank you for sharing!

[@truckstop4873]

Some of my best pages have been from the mini Crayola books I got at the $ store. Very satisfying finishing a piece in a couple hours. Also picked up the the 8 packs of glitter, pastel, and neon crayons. Very basic, cheap, and fun.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

I have those Crayons and love them! They are so fun.

[@jeanblythe1595]

You are a wonderful teacher, a wonderful colorist, and a wonderful person. I would recommend you to anyone just getting started, and learning a relaxing, fun new hobby. It is such a fun hobby, too.

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Aww. Thank you so much Jean. Thank you for always watching my videos and always leaving such sweet positive comments here. They really make my day. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for such a great video! I started coloring a little over a year ago and have gotten overwhelmed with supplies etc…I really love the selection of books you have shown asI I have learned I do like to be able to color smaller pictures/objects at a time. This was so very helpful and greatly appreciated 💜

It's so easy to get overwhelmed with all the coloring books and coloring supplies that are out there. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Happy Coloring!

I just got the ColorIT Gel pen set of both the glitter and original and refills for 35.00. I love them. I like pencils too but I like BOLD in your face colors. I got a different gel pen set first and the first set was a disappointment. Then I watched lots of reviews and got the ColorIts and they are NICE. and the cases are a dream. Thanks for all the tips and ideas. HUGS

[@emmawheeler4624]

Hi this is really helpful. Ive been colouring for a few years now, but only in the last few months I’ve been upping my game, trying to use colour and shade and highlights, blending etc, so watching this video makes me realise I’m not a beginner any more. Maybe a toddler colourist instead of a baby colourist 😄 very helpful video, I have the full black widow set and I love them so much 😄

[@MsSilentH]

Glad I kept watching you after seeing your 2022 favorite books, this is the perfect vid for me, there's always the burden of choice that can come with a new hobby. I would say even before buying a book, I think I will prefer some scenes and slightly smaller, detailed stuff. Small enough where I won't drive myself crazy with pencil strokes over a larger area of coloring as I'm starting out. The world of flowers might just be my first purchase, especially because it has both scenes and individual pieces to try. And VERY glad you went over options for colored pencils, great pricing on them too, I will say at first I thought I would go for a 120 set, to have ALL the options, but I honestly might try the widows! (edit, ooof never mind on the widows for now, the first set (the one with the actual widow on it) is 53 euros! the other sets are 16 euros, goodness me....

[@brendaash7251]

Very helpful, thank you so much. The gel pens here in uk are over £80 and the markers over £50 so as ohuhu are only £20 that will be my choice. Thanks again. It’s nice to feel there’s no right or wrong just choices that suit, and I like the different books too.😁😁😁

Pamela’s Passion for Pencils, I’ve been coloring for a few years now….and yes, I stick to my Crayola pencils…So, I’m not that great at blending and all the ways I’ve seen on here. However, my question is that I’ve seen pencil erasers. Which one would you suggest for Crayola pencils?

This is me. I have been a papercrafter and I wanted to learn color theory and I thought coloring books would really help me. I only invested in one line of pencils and one line of markers. I have prisma premiere and blick studio brush. I have my pencils in a case with a good sharpener and eraser.

That is so wonderful and great choices for supplies! You definitely did it right without overwhelming yourself.

I'm not sure if you do already have one I can't find, but searching for a color along or tutorial for this book comes up empty.. I have the Easy Coloring Book by Jade Summer, it would be great for some of your 'beginners series' videos to be with this book if you still have it!

[@lauras4472]

What is the best paper to print out the color swatching pages on? Printer paper? Pencil paper?

[@sandysisson1100]

I love books that have smaller items to color. I love JB book called 30 days of creativity. That book had so many smaller images and motifs to quickly color. What would be another book like that one?

[@amandathomas7180]

Is it cheap paper in these books? I only have one coloring book from Crazy Art and the paper is just awful, making coloring not a good experience. So I give up! I've been using my 150 Prisma Color pencils that I splurged on. Thank you! These books look really fun to do. I'm kind of a beginner

I love the premise of this video, but over half of it focussing on books was thoroughly overwhelming. I was more overwhelmed after watching this because there was too much. A beginner doesnt need to.have so many books thrown at them from the get go. Three or four books was more than enough.You focused far too much on your favourites, rather than the practical needs of a beginner. Books, pencils, pens, sharpeners swatches, erasers, etc...

[@jamiedelgado1484]

I bought the jarlink. I'm so excited to have a good electric sharpener. My only problem, is that is doesn't auto stop after rotating the dial. Even when I put it on 3. I should have just left it alone 🥹. But it does sharpen amazingly 😁

[@PamelasPassionforPencils]

Oh no! It should auto stop. Maybe call Amazon and have them replace it for you with one that works. They have great customer service.
