"CHILDRENS" Colouring Book Challenge: Professional Artist vs. Bluey Colouring Book

I’m taking on the PROFESSIONAL ARTIST VS "CHILDREN'S" COLOURING BOOK Challenge again!
You can see my first version of this challenge with Disney’s Princess Tiana here: • Artist VS 'CHILDRENS' ...
I’m taking my professional art skills, coloured pencils and markers to a colouring book that's usually intended for kids to see how creative I can get! The layering and shading techniques I'm using are those I use in my adult coloring books and videos - which is what my channel is all about! So while this is a "kids" coloring book, this is an "adult" coloring challenge 😊
This time I’ve stolen a colouring book from my own own kids’ collection… an Australian favourite - BLUEY!

[@lyndanickerson1373]

I'm in Canada and we love Bluey as well. I love how realistic the parents are and I love the fact that the Dad says he's A Dodgy Dad! Makes me laugh every time, You wouldn't find that in North American TV content! I love how this turned out, I find children coloring books easier to color.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

“Dodgy” is such a common word here… is it something Americans say too? Or is it Aussie slang? I never know anymore! 😂

[@jennyb-aeternabitart7436]

​@@SarahRenaeClark From what I've seen/heard/read/etc in the US things vary widely across the country because it's both huge and evenly-ish populated. In some places dodgy means more underhanded than in others; generally it seems to be more on the scale of pretty suspect to petty criminal though (more Artful Dodger end of the scale). But in the UK (evenly-ish populated) - as in Australia (huge) - dodgy tends to be milder in meaning like used-car salesman (or Delboy in Only Fools and Horses) to things like the weather (not perfectly what we need, but also definitely not something we don't want for an event). Not sure where other English-speaking places are on this particular word - I don't recall my Canadian friends, for example, using the word dodgy - but I'd be really interested to find out. [Word Nerd tendencies here - I love the way that we all speak the same language but the words mean so many different things... And some of the differences are really subtle. And I love looking at which way the meanings and spellings and grammar went when different parts of the language separated from each other. Or when and where different words came into the language. In fact, if anyone loses me or I stop doing art, I've probably got lost in the etymology or linguistics sections of the library... 😁]

I just bought that same Disney book, so I would love to see you color in it. 🤗 Your son is adorable!

[@ritawilbur7343]

You are so XXXXtra with picking out a palette, using reference photos, matching colors. An almost OCD heavy planning. Meanwhile, ADC is like, "I have no plan! I'll just pick up this color here and see how it looks!" But it shows how, no matter the approach, you can make fabulous art. I'm more ADC style, but either way - I've been watching both of you to see how to do this, and I am in LOVE with the whole marker base before pencils thing. SO much easier, and makes colored pencils so much more fun.

[@dianahernandezgutierrez249]

It would be great to see you coloring a page from that gorgeous Thomas Kinkade book!

[@ekamarie6632]

From America here, and when bluey hit I was instantly obsessed as my baby is a blue heeler and I have 2 nieces that are 1 yr apart w identical personalities to bluey and bingo. I’m obsessed w this kid show, I seriously think I look forward to new episodes more than the kids I watch do 🤣

Hi 🙋‍♂️

[@adriannabcustomfurniture]

Yes! My husband and I watch it more than our 8 year old 😂 I love it. Such a great show. I'm so happy it is played in the US too!

[@shiroimarcio]

I imagine the kids be like "that yellow line across the page will make the blue pop off....and that blue scribble will highlight the line work..."

[@erin9868]

One thing that i think could really elevate your colouring is to use cool shadows. I noticed you tend to highlight with warm yellow light, but your shadows are always just a darker shade of your base colour. Instead, using pale violet or blue for the shadow areas gives a really nice contrast and balance. Because areas outside of the warm light look cooler. Speaking of the problematic Thomas Kinkade's Disney paintings, this is actually really prevalent in his work and easiest to see on reddish or pinkish things, like skintone - checkout Bell's dad, for example, where the shadowed area of his red face isn't just darker red - its purple-y. Because blue shadow plus red face equals purple. Or any of his snowy paintings. The shadows on the white snow arent light grey because thats showed white - theyre really cool and blue.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

Interesting thought! I’ll keep this in mind! Thanks 😊

[@phadareapbrumbalow5918]

I absolutely LOVE Bluey!!!! I also love your videos! This is wonderful 😊 p.s. beware the allusive chicken rat! Lol

[@SarahRenaeClark]

Thank you 😊

[@Razhali]

Actually most of the $10-$20 "adult" coloring books I have found on amazon and in my local stores have been complete poopoo and not worth the money (although there are some out there that are amazing.) I found very many amazing "childrens" coloring books at the local dollar tree. The only issue im having is the greyish paper they use and the energy and motivation to actually use them XD I've been planning to use them to practice my colored pencil blending techniques using my cheaper brands like crayola before going in with such techniques with my more expensive brand colored pencils onto my actual artwork. Although, if I'm not confident on my coloring directly onto my original art piece, Ill copy it with my 3-in-1 hp printer which is great because then I can practice with many different mediums without worrying about the ink bleeding since it's shown to be pretty water-resistant. The blue is most likely to pick up first and I've found that regular dollar tree glue can seal in the ink pretty well to prevent the "colored" inks from lifting since the black seems to be the most resistant to liquid. Though, with coloring pages and just regular line art, this isnt really an issue.

[@Woomynator3000]

It’s relatable my mom loved and still loves Charlie & Lola and when me and my brother got bored of Charlie & Lola my mom was like you sure you won’t see it?

[@artofjkelly]

I'm in the US and my kid watches Bluey all the time and I have to agree with you... I like it more than she does!

[@gazzar67]

That came out really great. Very happy to see Bluey getting some love! Now I just have to wait for the Simpsons to do a Bluey couch gag. I liked your selection process of using your kids to reduce the options. I guess maybe the paper in that book isn't as high quality as what you've been printing on recently, so it has me wondering whether using markers as a base layer reduces the dependence on paper quality/paper tooth for when you get to shading with the pencil layers. You said you don't have to worry about burnishing, but maybe using markers first also means you don't have to worry as much about layering, so the paper quality might be less critical?

[@SarahRenaeClark]

Definitely true. I think mixing markers and pencils makes the quality less important because you’re using the best features of each. It’s a great point! I’ll have to try this challenge with cheap supplies next time.

[@animeshyadav7321]

Great soothing video. Taking a break from my usual scriptwriting, here in India, and watching your video. Watching colouring or painting videos helps me a lot in having inspiration for my stories.

[@krislamore5607]

Hello how are you doing my friend

[@CuriosityRocks]

It’s because ProMarkers tend to bleed on certain paper so you should stop colouring a couple of millimetres before the outline and the ink will creep towards the outline.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

This is the case for most alcohol markers. But I was also just being a bit sloppy and rushing my coloring!
