Safari, So Good
Three free printable coloring pages of safari animals wearing clothes For these safari animals I added some simple backgrounds. I’m trying to decide if they’re more of a distraction. Did I waste my time adding the background? Should I have just left a plain white space? For my second coloring book, Dapper Dogs, I left…
Down to Earth Goats
Three free printable coloring pages of goats dressed in simple clothes. These goats lead simple lives. It helps that they can eat practically anything. First we have a farmer who is probably great at weed control. Then a hippie goat with a masterful beard. And finally, we have a hobo goat living a simple life…
Tudor Cats
Three free printable coloring pages of cats in Tudor-period dress. Later this week I’m publishing my second coloring book: Dapper Dogs. I took a quick break from dressing dogs in cute clothes to create some Tudor-period cats. I like these so much they may end up as the theme for my third coloring book. The…
Mandala Materials
Three free downloadable coloring pages of mandalas Paper quilling! Woodwork! And plasticine! For these mandalas I tried experimenting with the materials they’re made from. Because of this they’re not the traditional coloring page line art, and they might be best suited for markers. I started experimenting with paper quilling, a craft technique that involves shaping…

Floral Portraits
Three free printable coloring pages with portraits and flowers. Here are some portraits you can use to practice coloring skin tones. I’ve added some flowers to the composition. They may not make logical sense, but they’re pretty. The tools I’m using make fantastic portraits, so I may end up focusing on portraits for my next…
Ukiyo-e, Okay?
Three free printable coloring pages in the style of Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Who’s ready to color some kimonos? I’m very fond of ukiyo-e and sometimes watch videos of carvers and printers who keep the tradition going in modern-day Japan. It’s a very meditative process, much like coloring. I would suggest you add some gradients to…
Endless Repetition
Three free printable coloring pages of repeating patterns. I created these patterns from my other coloring pages using an app called Repper. This online tool works with almost any image and feels a bit like using a Ouija board. It’s fun to play with even if you aren’t planning to make something with the pattern….
