Here's the king cat page I just finished from the Creative Cats book.  Used Prismacolor and Copic Sketch markers.

looks like fun. wish I could do it but my hands won't old a pen for very long and they are pretty sloppy.

The actual page is more vivid and bright. I'm not getting good results with the little camera I have. Don't have a scanner so I have to take a photo of the page to upload it here.

This took several days, working on it for an hour or so at a time. My right arm and hand starting hurting if I tried to do much more than that.  It is fun!   Maybe you could try it slowly...doing only a little bit at a time?

no my hands just can't grip small things. I had to write a few words today and I had trouble remming how to do letters or having them come out I write so little. I tend to over grip as I hold a pen some of that maybe that I don't really write anymore fill out a money order once a month and a few signatures once in awhile and they are all different.  trying is messed up enough I always make the same mistakes. same on my phone. makes playing games harder. sure better then the felt posters as a kit.

This is awesome! 

Thanks so  much!  :cat:       The photo doesn't  reproduce the colors exactly right and that may have to do with the lighting. I'll try to get a better photo next time.

I noticed that when I posted my photo tonight, as well. I wish the colors would look more accurate. Oh,  well! It's still fun to share our projects! :my_biggrin:

I love the really vibrant colors you get.   I'm not a huge fan of yellow, but I really like that bright yellow you have.

@doggie - have you tried coloring apps?  I have one on my kindle fire.  Colorfy I believe.  Doesn't quite do the meditative trick for me (but that's me).   I know people who enjoy using it.

It's really too bad you have physical difficulties with your hands that stop you from coloring.   Sorry to hear that.  :my_huh:

I'm glad you like the colors!  My favorite color is red and I do love yellow also. Just love them together as well!   Thank you for your encouragement.  I've started my next page in the Creative Cat book. It's the one with the cat/robot/space design.

It's definitely a lot of fun to get feedback and share coloring projects!  I'm going to try to figure out what I need to do to photograph the finished projects with a more accurate color cast.

My husband scans my pages for me from his work.  He just did a batch of 9 pages for me today and I noticed the colors are not as good as the original.  I thought scans would make them more true color than pictures, but I guess that isn't the case :(

@doggie  There are coloring apps you can get for your mobile devices.  Not quite the same, but maybe that would work for you and you'd still be able to color for short times.

Would pen thickeners work for you? There are pens that are thicker and heavier to begin with, or foam thingies that you can attach to a normal pen to make it thicker. You could just wrap some tissue tightly around the pen and fix it with tape to try it out without investing money.

      I would say that if Art isn't fundraising, that their basic needs are being met by their income.  Sure they aren't going to go out to dinner or buy lottery tickets but if their basic needs are met, they can work towards other goals without the stress of knowing if they can make rent or pay for utilities.

      I know a trans person (male to female). It’s been about a year since they came out. Their birth name is Harry but they go by Hari.  Saw new pictures of them today & they look like a natural female.

      some trans or nonbinary people try to pick something similar to their origin name to make the transition for other people easier. so Maddie to Matthew or Bailey to Bryan. considering Artemis real name is Cynthia, they could have gone by Cy, pronounced "sigh" or Cyril, Cyrus, Cyd. Artemis Stardust just seems like art wanted a name they deemed as "cool". but honestly makes them standout in a negative way since people know art did it on purpose and probably wasn't named that at birth. And if Art wants to change their last name why doing they just takes their partners last name. They said a while ago they were engaged and tried to thrift money for a courthouse wedding. with matching tailored tuxedos and custom rainbow rings. Art if your health  and death wishes are so important to you  just go to the courthouse and get married, you dont need to beg hard workin people for money so you can have pride rings and a custom tuxedo, there are suits at the thrift shop and cheap rings anywhere
