One of the reasons coloring books are so popular (especially the ones made specifically for grown-ups) is because you get to turn off your brain for a while and simply enjoy the physical act of laying down color. It can be very relaxing!
I’ve created four unique coloring pages that you can download for free! These are set up as Procreate files so you can color right on your iPad in Procreate. These pages go along with some of our Making Art Everyday prompts for this week. Try using my free “Kids Make Art!” brushes to color them in! There are also printable PDF versions of the coloring pages if you’d like to color on paper instead. Be sure to catch my Live tutorial on Monday, at 10:30 am PDT, where I teach you some fun tricks for coloring the pages in Procreate!
Be sure to grab my FREE “Kids Make Art!” brush set for Procreate! It’s got all your favorite art supplies you loved as a child and is perfect for little Procreate artists too!
I’ve made a webpage that will serve as a home base for everything that is going on this month – and there’s a lot! You can find that page at bardotbrush.com/kids. It’s got a full schedule of all the tutorials and other fun stuff that is going on during Kid’s Month.
Week 29: Coloring Book
You can approach the prompts this week in a couple of different ways:
1. Design and Draw Your Own Coloring Pages
Sketch out a scene based on the prompt, then create your final piece as clean, black line art on a white background. Watch my tutorial about How to Make a Coloring Page in Procreate to learn how to do this!
2. Color a Coloring Page!
Download one of my free Procreate coloring pages to color however you’d like! Pssst…this is a great option for the kids who are participating in Kid’s Month. I have made coloring pages to go with four of this week’s prompts. You can color them right in Procreate or have fun coloring on paper with the printable PDF. 0n July 12, I’ll host another live tutorial where we’ll color a Procreate coloring page together!
