I decided to finally take a look inside the Thomas Kinkade Disney Dreams Collection adult coloring book that so many people have been recommending - but things didn’t quite go to plan.
In this video, I’ll take you through my creative process and ALL the challenges I experienced in trying to recreate Thomas Kinkade’s style with colored pencils and markers.

I messed up the Tangled page where they're in the boat with the lanterns. It cant be saved😢.

@TheDarkHeroShadow 2 года назад

Honestly, instead of using white india ink(which repels most other ink,) I would of used white gesso. In a thin enough layer it would still show the lines while still being able to cover them up with pencil and ink.

@Tiina_Talvikki 2 года назад

White gouache could also work under pencils, but not under waterbased pens of course, unless it's acrylic gouache

@ullygecko 2 года назад

There is also clear gessso. I would have tried that over the white ink maybe.

@lilmissmonsterrr 2 года назад

It's actually would have* not "would of"

@dandelionlane7594 2 года назад

I would have also used white gesso to tone down the black lines instead of paint or ink, and maybe clear gesso will still manage to rescue this page ... if nothing else, it will give the paper some tooth for the pencils to (maybe) work their magic ........ at this point, with 2 layers of hairspray over top, it might not even warp the paper LOL

Just have to say that I actually think that the white ink "mistake" actually adds to the painting, especially around the tiles. It makes the background interesting to look at, and at the same time making the characters stand out. I actually like the final result! But I do understand your frustration with the supplies not working properly over it!! :) However, I'm not sure if I can accept your apology for using my favorite movie as a test paper ;)

Thank you for illuminating some of the ways NOT to colour a page! Oh, and someone has already tested several things to whiten lines..CMW? Worth checking. Great work! Love the video.

Actually yes and no. Thomas Edison improved/patented the light bulb through experimentation, but he did not invent it. Various forms of lightbulbs already existed 40 years before Edison made them better. Ofcourse your point still stands and like Edison we must also learn from the mistakes of others and not just our own.

I think hairspray now has too many added chemicals. Years and years ago they use to tell it was ok to use that on your artwork but there was not as many additives.

Atualmente estou com 30 anos de idade, já que nasci à 1:45 da madrugada de 5 de novembro de 1991. Eu queria saber como é que posso conseguir esses livros da Disney. É que… como gosto de pintar, desenhar e colorir, seria uma honra pra mim saber onde é que eu posso comprar aqui em Portugal e na minha cidade natal (Porto). É que eu não posso comprar nada na Net, seja por qual motivo for, até fui chamada a atenção lá em casa por causa disso, então eu queria saber se esses livros também estão à venda tanto em Portugal como na cidade do Porto para poder comprar. Eu não preciso nem de tinteiro nem de marcadores nem desses lápis, só quero os livros, eu tenho bons lápis de cor e canetas lá no meu quarto

We never witness that struggle in others, because nobody posts it. Yes, we talk about it, but you support and make the process okay.

The white Posca marker with the ultra fine point works like the Windsor and Newton paint, and it doesn’t warp the paper.

@tinybird2413 2 года назад

I would recommend instead of white ink that you use something called watercolor ground or conversely a thin layer of acrylic gesso. These are primers which are designed to prepare your surface for wet mediums. A lot of journalers use it to make normal paper handle wet mediums a little better. The added bonus with something like acrylic gesso is that it can help fade dark lines. I don't entirely recommend using these with alcohol markers though because the stuff can potentially gunk up your nibs but it's great for light washes of watercolor and giving tooth for colored pencils.

@lizbecker1677 10 месяцев назад

It's a beautiful coloring book, and I like that there are reference pages in it. Thomas Kincaid probably used oils or acrylics to paint them, so pages colored with pencils and/or markers will never look the same no matter how talented the colorist is.

I actually use my laptop screen as a lightbox when I want to transfer artwork or use pencil on the back of the paper to trace the outlines to transfer it. I think it would have been best if they made the outlines like a light gray color so you could use pencils over it to cover it up kinda like grayscale coloring books.

I honestly think that guache would be great for this, especially because you wouldn't have to "fade" the lines since it paints over it

Thank you for sharing some of your „not so succesfully“ tryouts. It really shows, that even some so skillfully and brilliant artist, like you are, does mistakes. In fact, it encourages me to try out something new on myself. Aside from this video, I have an important request: is there any chance to get (buy) the template for the blank color sheets for pencils you‘re using? I really, really would love to recreate them for myself. With best regards and in hope to get an (positive) answer! PS: excuse my english, I‘m no native speaker at all 😉👍

I’m putting these templates on my website soon! Sorry it’s been held up by other projects

Love your videos! I just discovered them. And this one is epic! Loved it! Thanks for your content.

I would suggest white-inking the lines...but then photocopying the image onto a nice sturdy paper to solve the texture issue. You might even be able to skip the inking, and just lighten the image using the settings on the copier. This has worked great for me when I was working on a sketch, or made a mistake in coloring. Or if there's just a detail on the coloring page you don't like, you can white it out and re-draw it. You're the boss!

I appreciate that you demonstrated the issues that can arise using coloring books. I discovered a couple of years ago that colored pencils are impossible to use if you have a smooth surface which can even be caused by multiple layers of the color pencils. I now focus on just using alcohol ink markers with fine tips and using the blending pen. It creates a more realistic appearance. Of course these fantasy books do not require realistic, lol. Sometimes I do add colored pencil for accents on top of the ink, but very limited. FYI - Hairsprays contain up to 50% alcohol, thus your inks ran.

Now I know just to stick to my pencils when I go on holiday & just have fun! Thanks for the video as it helps me know it wouldn’t have just been me!

I just found your channel today so I am not sure if you have tried this in the past... but have you ever tried putting a layer of white gesso over your pages? I have used that in the past to cover up my pencil lines before I start a painting (on cardstock) and I can still slightly see the lines through the gesso. It will also create more tooth on your surface for the pencils. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs!

I’ve just bought some to try!

While I don’t have this coloring book, I have The Flower Year, which gives me similar trouble. Every time I color in it I feel like an amateur. I haven’t tossed it. I payed too much for it. So, it will sit on my shelf and when I want some aggravation I’ll bring it out.

Thanks for sharing your process of trying to get this page to turn out the way you wanted it to look. Though it did not turn out as you wanted, it was very good for me to see I am not the only one that has things not turn out. That makes me feel less like giving up.

You are inspiring even when it doesn't work out as planned, maybe especially then. Thanks for sharing

Showing experiments is GREAT. Far too many people think others don't make mistakes. Sooo Thank You

You're amazing, Sarah...love your accent and job well done!

Thank you for making mistakes on camera! There are so many times, when comparing my pages to others, that I get really down on myself, and won't even call myself an "artist" I'm just a colorist, or a hobbyist. I'm not elite enough to be an "artist" But to see that others have fails too, and pages that go from the ugly stage to an even uglier stage, is OKAY!

Not a mistake. An experiment. Thanks for honestly sharing.
