📖 New Book Nerves? Let’s Color Through It Together
Starting a brand new coloring book—especially by an illustrator you’ve never colored before—can be a bit… intimidating, right? In this video, I sit down with a fresh page from Christine Karron’s Wildflower Folk and show you exactly how I approach those “where do I even begin?!” moments.
From color planning and layering techniques to mindset shifts that help take the pressure off, this video is your cozy companion to cracking open that new book with confidence. You’ll get honest thoughts, helpful tips, and a peek into my real-time creative process.
✨ Whether you’re a beginner or a long-time colorist, this is your permission slip to start messy, have fun, and make the page your own.
