Episode 3 What marker can I use in my coloring books?
This week we discuss the differences between alcohol markers and water based markers. Why and when you would use one or the other. I discuss the various tip options as well as show samples of bleed through and how they react with water. Each marker type has its own strengths and weaknesses. Knowing them will help you decide which is the best choice for your project.

First up is what to color. We discuss coloring pages, coloring books the pros and cons of each as well as where to find them.
Grab your drink and Click on the link below to take you to my YouTube video to begin your journey into Adult Coloring!
This video explains how your actions when watching videos on YouTube affect the outcome of the video. I go through 11 ways to help your favorite artists for free and four ways to help them financially. I accidently added 5 minutes of dead air at the end so disregard this. Oopsy daisy!
For those that watched my how I organize my colored pencils videos, this one is for you. Many of you have asked for my color swatch charts using my system. While they are here on the blog, I wanted somewhere that was easy to access without a lot of steps. So you can now find them on my Ko-fi shop. Ko-fi is a website that is similar to patreon that allow people access to content from creators, I chose this site because I can offer my downloads for free. I can also grow with it and possibly offer tier memberships in the future. I want to share my journey and love for art so I am torn on the idea of memberships and things that cost money to access. That said, it costs money to provide content, buy images and art supplies. So Ko-fi his seems to be a good compromise. Those that wish to support my channel can, and those that cannot afford to can still have access.
Also available is, at the time of this writing, a six page Coloring Terminology Reference guide I put together it may grown in size in the future. I see many questions in Facebook groups asking about products, so I thought I would put many of the answers in one place. While it is not an in-depth explanation of these things, it does cover the basics. I will be doing videos on all of these so that we can dive deeper. But sometimes you just need a quick reference to remind you is it NeoColor 1 or 2 that is water soluble.
This guide is free for the first 50 people to download and then will offered for $3.00 on the site.
I am including the links to the YouTube videos where I go into more explanation. In the guide video you can see all six pages.
If you would like the downloads, visit me at Ko-fi.com/Jazzydoodledesigns. Click on shop, there you will find all of the different brands of coloring swatch charts as well as the Reference Guide. Just enter 0 if you wish to get them for free.
I hope you are all having a great day! As aways, I appreciate you visiting me!
Today’s image is from Rita Berman’s Gelato image in Meine Reise durch Europa. I had a request to do voice narration over my coloring. So this video is sped up a little and is narrated throughout the entire process. Miss Ellie (dogger) and my new grandson Macallan make cameo appearances.
I use Polychromos colored pencils throughout.

While it looks like I used a lot of pencils, I did, but look at how many are just versions of the same hue (color). This can bring depth to a picture.
