I just subscribed to your channel last week. I thoroughly enjoy watch you color and look at what you have colored in the past. So brave to color in Kerby's earlier books. I was so intimidated when I started coloring his earler work. I have Albrecht Durers and didn't realize they can be used dry! I will attempt to see if it works for me. I do have Polychromos so not sure if there will be a difference. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

Welcome to my channel and thank you so much for subscribing! I am so glad you are enjoying my videos, thank you for taking the time to watch them. 🤗💗 Definitely try them out, but yes if you have the polychromos, you may never need to use the Albrecht Dürers dry. I tried some stock pencils in the Polychromos to compare to my AD's dry, and for me neither was superior and I liked both of them dry, so I didn't end up getting the Polychromos for myself. 🤗

Very enjoyable...thanks for the share.

I love that you shared your older pages because a lot of people who are just starting out in coloring can feel very intimated by seeing great colorist's amazing work and not realize we all start somewhere... and to be fair, you may judge your old pages very harshly but they're actually still wonderful and impressive. I actually *love* the flag of Kenya spread you did... maybe you should do something like that again with the skills you have now, to highlight how much your skills have improved! I love that your dad colored with you! My sibling and I used to take coloring books camping and color together while enjoying the peace of the forest. We just colored casually without trying to do anything artistic back then, but it was so fun and relaxing. It makes me think I should get some supplies and coloring books for friends and family to do while we visit each other. (Like you there are definitely books I wouldn't just hand over to other people, now, haha).

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed seeing my earlier colourings. You are absolutely right, unless you are an artist, the pages don't always turn out great at the start of the journey.....but you learn so much as you continue to colour and find out what kind of colouring and results you enjoy. The main thing is to just have fun and enjoy the process. Keep it a hobby and we should not put unnecessary stress on ourselves! It is so amazing that you coloured with your sibling! It is a great idea to have some supplies and books you don't mind sharing with others. It can always be a fun activity to do with family and friends while spending time with each other. Hopefully one day I can do the same but with my son.....he is only 3 years old, so he knows my books are off limits right now! 😂💗

Wow Shelly I am from E Africa too. I did lot of jewellery making but fell very ill and friend bought me a colour book and a set of pencils.

Hi Shelly, OMG so weird, as WWW was the 1st colouring book I bought which kicked off my Colouring Journey in May 2021 (just 12 month after you lol). I only ever coloured in this book until October 21, when I stopped colouring due to health issues and moving house. I’m now settled in my new home and in June I restarted my colouring in a couple other Kerby books. I’m now back on WWW and hoping to complete this book before New Years Eve this year. I loved your video as it shows that everyone starts somewhere and it’s amazing to look back on and see how far you’ve come. Thanks for showing your Kerby pages, his new book Mythic Worls is so good I’m sure you’d love it. If you fancy a Buddy Colour on the Clock page in WWW I’d be honoured to join you, as I’ve not coloured that page yet. Hope to see you colouring more Kerby pages in the future, Cheers Ness xx

I am so sorry that you colouring needed to stop due to health issues and life, but I am so glad to hear you are getting back into it. I will keep that page in mind, not sure when I will manage to get round to it as I feel like I am really slow with my colouring at the moment, although I have marked it as a possible page to do......hopefully soon! 🤗💗

9:49 try moving the pencil in light and tiny circles when coloring, especially when you are blending, rather than strokes, it might work better for you. also try to avoid harsh and abrupt lines or breaks because they are terribly difficult to blend and/or fade out. these techniques work for me, maybe you too. 😘 thank you for sharing your lovely and vibrant work.

Shel, how did you get the yellow color in the middle of the bee? In my book, it is a dark area whereas the front and rear areas were left light enough to get that good yellow color. You said you used soft pastels for the body of the bee, not sure what that looks like to do it myself. Did the use of a bright yellow pastel make the middle area light enough to stand out as you did? Really beautiful. TIA

Ooh, yes i did not do anything special to be honest. The middle of the bee had heavy line art which made it look quite dark. But by making either side of it really dar to make the dark brown/black bands, tricks the eye into think it was a lighter area. And then I used soft pastel to base and then used pencils. I think it helped that either side of it was the dark bands. If you have paint pens, you could use them over top to lighten the dark lines in that area to help with the yellow standing out more? Hope this helps, sorry for the late response 🤗💗
