A Dainty Daffodils Colouring Page

 

Taking a small break from the pandas to concentrate on college work and some therapeutic colouring, using my own drawn colouring pages. This is the latest one, Dainty Daffodils, and I normally post these up at my Floating Lemons art blog, but as I'm working on panda thumbnails and haven't much to show, I thought I'd post it here this week -- after all, my colouring pages are meant for kids as well as adults.

 

 

Above is the page just waiting to be coloured in, and available as an immediate download to print at home if you'd like to try your hand at it as well. Just click here: Dainty Daffodils Colouring Page

It's just one of the colouring pages that are up at my Floating Lemons on Etsy shop. I'm quite pleased with them really, and am finally able to take some time off in the evenings to begin colouring them in myself. Hugely relaxing and therapeutic fun. Here's my finished version of the Dainty Daffodils page again ...

 

 

If you do colour any of my pages in please do share as I'd love to see your finished versions! Just tag me @floatinglemons or use either #FLcolourpages or #FLcolorpages and I'll happily share and blog them. I should be back with either pandas or a witch next week, am not quite sure which one will claim my attention yet. Cheers.

My Downloadable, Printable Colouring Pages

 

 

What do I do when I'm not working on children's illustrations or college projects? Well, I doodle of course. I have a collection of black and white drawings that started out as self-therapy and have now ended up as colouring pages that are available as printables for immediate download at the etsy shop opened by Floating Lemons ... that's me of course, just one of my other personas, the one that works on slightly more 'commercial' illustrations to try to earn a keep.

Above is one of my older drawings, altered slightly to make it more interesting to colour in ... below is the original:

 

 

And here's one of the 13 pages that's already up at the shop, available for immediate download:

 

 

I love colouring books, though I haven't yet had the time to add colour to my own pages ... sad, right? Do I get any sleep? That's a question I'm constantly asking myself while I'm working pen (or pencil or brush) in hand in the wee hours of the morning or looking blearily up, with pink-rimmed eyes, at a beautiful sunrise ...

If you love colouring books or know anyone who does, please do have a peek at my new shop and let me know what you think. Just click here: Floating Lemons at Etsy. Cheers.

 

Pomegranates Pop Pattern (via www.floatinglemons.com)

 

Very last-minute pattern to submit to my online Make It In Design Summer School! I took a tracing of one of the pomegranates in my sketchbook, scanned it in, cleaned it up, and used a few colours from their palette to quickly create this today, managing to submit it just before the deadline. Phew. It was fun doing patternwork again though ... I know it quite well, and yet it was as though I were rediscovering something new. Fun. Here's the tracing as an in-progress shot:

 

Cheers.
