NEW Coloring Books!

Hello Steemians!

I have been AWOL the last few days because I have been working my arse off. I have 5 new coloring books coming out this weekend.

For those who may not know, I am a grayscale coloring book author. Grayscale coloring is a relatively small subgenre of the adult coloring world. Colorists color "gray scaled" or desaturated photographs instead of line art. It's much like tinting old photographs or films. The natural shading of the image creates a more life like finished page, as opposed to line art.

For example:

This finished page is from my book Fantasy Art volume 1 https://www.amazon.com/Fantasy-Art-Adult-Coloring-Book/dp/1530376076/

The original artwork is a 3D rendered original character of mine done in DAZ Studio4 and post worked in Photoshop CS5. I then took that artwork, desaturated the color, fiddled with the contrast and gamma/exposure until I had a grayscaled image that could be colored. The colored page is included along with the Crayola colored pencils I used. I use a technique that I developed using baby oil to blend the colored pencil once the picture has been colored. This creates an almost oil pastel effect that I like.

Anywho... The new books are all available from my Amazon author's page which you can find at the link below. I also have a "coloring team" FaceBook group that get sneak peeks at new books, free pages to download and color, and we have a lot of fun. If that sounds like something you would be interested in, I will leave that link too ;)

The new books are;
