I'm not sure if you've already covered this, but i would love to see your coloring book making process. Mostly if you did any research and how you decided a cohesive style to stick with ^-^ thanks! Amazing work as always ❤

[@fructusillustrations]

I actually did make a video recently talking a little bit about my process but I didn't get into explaining the research very much or how I stuck to a cohesive style. I will probably go into more detail when I make my next coloring book though! I plan to make more and hopefully release another at the beginning of 2024 so I will keep this in mind and talk about it then 😊😊😊

Hi girl, Thanks for answering so many awesome questions! Can you please share about your printer and how you like it for stickers? Colors look so bright and vibrant, any tips or tricks will be helpful… ❤❤❤

[@fructusillustrations]

Sure! I'm working on a video about how I make my prints at home and I use the same printer for my stickers too so I'll talk about my experience with it and how well it works and how much I like!

@@fructusillustrations omg, I can’t wait. I’m literally prepping for opening a new shop but not satisfied with my hp envy or canon ts8220

[@lucyridessaddleseat]

I got the coloring book, and have been hooked. I can’t stop thinking about what will happen when I finish it because I’d be bored redoing it, but I just can’t catch up with Bobbie goods not going to lie

[@uniandumi]

Omg!! I’m a list person too hehe 💕

[@fructusillustrations]

I'm always making lists haha it's the only way I get things done lol

OMG YAYY! I am so happy that you got it and are liking it! Makes me so happy 😊♥

[@djsmiles101]

Thanks for answering my question Jen! I've been trying to keep up with the Inktober stuff myself but as a way to hopefully start forming the habit of practicing my drawing skills since I've never truly just drew a lot even as a kid. I hope it's enough to motivate me to keep going and confidently start practicing digitally, and then I think I'll be closer to being ready to make my own stuff! So rly thanks again, u made me feel a bit better about that :))

[@fructusillustrations]

Of course! Drawing often is what really helped me get going in the beginning so I think it's a good plan that you are on! 😊♥

[@EtherealSewist]

Amazing video!! Thank you!! You are truly an inspriration!!

[@fructusillustrations]

Thank you so much! Happy to chat with you in the Premiere too! 🐻♥

[@EtherealSewist]

@@fructusillustrations Yes the Premier was very fun!! I really love your content ❤️ What inspired you to start a small Business?

[@LumiifyStudio]

Thank you for the video 😭💕 you are so inspiring! I giggled at the hair question haha, that was a good question from someone! 😊✨

[@fructusillustrations]

Yeah haha I've been asked a few times before so I thought it was finally time to answer it!

[@StarlightSovereign]

Very nice video. I love the question and answer sesh! I also enjoyed watching you color. I was waiting for you to color in the 3 dots of the insides of the mug handles for so long! lol I think this is a lot of good advice. My partner and I just launched our etsy shop and we're nervous about not getting sales, but this put me at ease. I know it will take time. I just wish I didn't have to be forcibly a content creator to be able to make it as an artist. I just want to make art. But editing videos is the cost of that these days it seems. :/ Yuck

[@fructusillustrations]

Hehe I was so focused on coloring in the large sections I missed those little dots lol And yes, it does take time and I think its something that isn't mentioned or talked about very often. But if you keep trying, I know your efforts will be rewarded 😊♥ I wish you and your partner the best of luck and hope you have much success and happiness!

[@StarlightSovereign]

You're so incredibly kind and i always enjoy chatting with you. I really enjoy your videos and often craft while watching them. It's one of my forms of body doubling. Anyway thanks again for the kind words. I'm trying to keep spirits up while we try to build a following.

[@MintyMido]

I love how the page turned out!! Definitely relate to not wanting to do a full inktober challenge - I'm sticking with a shorter one myself LOL I've done the full 31 days 3 times before and every time I ended up getting burnt out!

[@fructusillustrations]

Glad you found what works for you! I haven't done a full 31 days before because I got burnout before the end lol so I knew that I didn't want to do that to myself this year and was giving myself as little expectations as possible 😊

[@jeannettesalazar6442]

What is called the paper of your colouring books? Thanks 😊
