Hi Claire, I know you did this tutorial many moons ago, but I was looking up how to do bubbles with coloring pencils preferably with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and you did! You made it seem so Easy! 😄 So, what I did was dug out my 3"x 5" blank index card I make it my swatch and draw my circle being my bubble. Then I proceeded to replicate the way you did your coloring of your bubble. It's close, but no where's near close to being as good as yours. But this is how I teach myself how to do it with directions on it step by step. I know practice makes perfect. I have been teaching myself a lot of techniques this way on 3" x 5" cards with directions and I call them my swatches. I save them all. I appreciate you (who are great teachers) and a couple other people who I have been following on here on KZbin. I would like to thank you so much for being such a Great Teacher on here. I hope you still read these comments even though you done that tutorial 3 years ago? May you have a great day and Thank you again!

[@terriconrad4612]

Thank you for your tutorials! We just moved from Colorado to Florida and the movers packed my books and pencils, which they were NOT to do! 🤦‍♀️. So I’m stuck with no furniture and nothing to do but clean! At least I can watch you! Yea! 💕🙋‍♀️🏝

[@lisawik7234]

It's probably a blessing in disguise so you can get moved in.. what city in Florida?? Maybe we can color together!

[@terriconrad4612]

Lisa Wik we’re in Plantation. Still no household goods so coloring provides me with creative time! Where are you?

[@ayamerj]

[@ednamcpherson1773]

Great tutorial!! Thank you.

[@ChrisS-ps4lg]

I have little experience with adult coloring books. What is the difference between a regular edition and the artist's edition? Thank you for sharing all your beautiful work and your process.

[@ClaireHoloway]

So, AES are usually carded and larger versions of the same design. You can use a wider variety of media, such as watercolours, without warping the paper :)

[@ChrisS-ps4lg]

Thank you for the explanation. Looking forward to seeing more of your exquisite work.

[@dpfreeman1]

Miracles

[@ClaireHoloway]

Blooming miracle I managed it 🤣

[@sueberry1727]

Hi Claire hope you are well haven’t seen any videos of yours on here for over a month and I have withdrawal symptoms I do hope you will put a video up soon ? Sue

[@ClaireHoloway]

Sue Berry sorry for the withdrawal 😁 I’m self employed and currently contracted working on Brexit - so you can imagine..... things are a tiny bit hectic. Hopefully normal service resumed in April :)

[@ericasendel3076]

When you say you practiced before.... how do you practice?

[@ClaireHoloway]

Erica Sendel I have practice books and you can freehand draw circles on blank paper and add a tiny bit of background colour.

[@Pennyrosewilson123]

Can I ask what you white gel pens is please?

[@ClaireHoloway]

Ashley Wilson I think it was probably a Signo 😃

[@Pennyrosewilson123]
