I recognized the Lana Green page! She’s one of my favorites! Your work is beautiful and I agree pan pastels are amazing! I’m working on designing my own coloring pages by hand so I’ve been bingeing coloring channels here on TH-cam! I need to try out the Gelato pens, they look so fun
Thank you so much for sharing a review of tools. I do wish you would have said the average cost for the items other than just “they are expensive.” I have seen Tim Holz’ channel for years but his distressed ink products are a huge investment, especially for any type of color palette. It is nice to see how they work for more informal uses like I might use them - such as your use.
Enjoyed the video on the different materials you use for your backgrounds. I have Gelato’s, distressed inks. I recently went on a wild stamp pad ink spree. Junesix water drop multi surface chalk ink. I think they’re possibly made by the same company that does Dew Drop because the shape of them are the same and I purchased other stamp pad inks. I want to use them to color in my coloring books 📚 or I should say on my PDF pages. I’m a little nervous so wish me luck. Thanks for your advice that you don’t have to use the top of the line to get good results. Thank you 🙏🏽 for sharing.❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽😊
Good morning. I hope you see this video. I know it is older. However, I just found it this morning. I typed in how to color backgrounds. And your video popped up. Thank you for this video. It has been so helpful. I am not going to tell you anything you missed because I am here to learn. However, I hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions. If so, I apologize. The video was still great. Tfs My questions, if you don't mind. Regarding the Distress inks. I have several of those but didn't know how to use them. So, thank you for that. My question is, and it may be a dumb one. So, please forgive me: Did you go over the image as well with the Distress inks? I also have several Gelatos. Never used them. While using for the background, did you use water and make it like water color paint? Or did you just use them dry? They are really creamy. 😊 Last question: Did you also add water to the Neocolor II Crayons? Have a nice day. Again, thank you so much for this video.

As a new colourist I found this video really helpful. Many people never mention which mediums you have to use fixative for. Thank you ❤
Oh no problem at all :)
Distress ink for life!! Baby!
I just love making backgrounds with this!
Me too although I do use Gelatos more lol
@@ColorfullyOptimistic Haha, thanks to you I ordered my first set of gelatos! I am excited to try them!!

I didn't really go into cost because it varies on how and when you buy Distress Inks to be honest. You can get them cheap while other times you can't
I absolutely love that picture with all of the various purples and the Mod Podge on it, it is gorgeous Kori!
Oh thank you!
Thank you, I appreciate and agree that these are all wonderful background options.
They're what I use the most
Thanks Kori, this was super and helpful, always like seeing your work the pages are gorgeous!
You are so welcome! Hope it helped
Headed to your battle of the water color crayons! Thx ❤
Have fun! It was fun to do
Great choices!
Thank you Carol!

Yes, lots of people use the cheaper inks and get great results!
Another great "medium" is eye shadow. For stuff that got old, we can repurpose it for background use. I haven't seen the need to seal it either. :)
I really love the gel crayons idea too. I have never tried that. :)
I've used eye shadow, but since I have the pan pastels, I tend to reach for those first :)
Very helpful, thank you!
You're weelcome!

Your pictures are beautiful
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks so much
Of course!
Do you have to use fixative with distressed ink?
No no, it dries up just fine and never moves after that.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic thank you so much for your response and great video.
