Back in my photographer days, I would print portraits in greyscale and hand color them with oil pencils and Marshall's Oil Paint for myself and my clients. You should try it with one of your daughters portraits once you feel more comfortable with the art. Dick Blick carries the supplies now. You'll love it. Also, the Polychromos are great, but when you want to bump up (IMO), you'll want to check out the "Caran D'ache Luminance Colored Pencils. I actually use them together. My favorite white pencil is still the Prismacolor.
Hello Vicky, I'm a little late discovering this new craze. I've been coloring for about 4 months now and just yesterday discovered this gray scale coloring. I love it! I felt the same way you mentioned about how color would go over the dark gray areas, but it goes over it just fine. I didn't know whether to keep the dark areas black or use color, but now I see how it works. It is really cool! Thanks for the video. I could really relate to everything you were saying. Have you tried printing a family photo out in grayscale and coloring that? I am trying that as well. So fun!

They have some really cool grey scale books at dollar general. They have images of real animals etc kinda like this one. I've been wanting to try one but feel so intimidating lol I should just buy one right!? Lol
I feel the same with animals. I want them to look realistically colored... I find if I make them unreal colors its easier to get into my images and make them come alive.
I have this coloring book and the Natural Wonders one you showed. I would love to see you color lots of pages in each book and PLEASE INCLUDE the brand and specific name of the colored pencils you are using. Coloring grayscale is intimidating by itself but trying to choose which colors to use is beyond stressful for me 😁 You are so brave to try this on camera. You did a beautiful job. The bra looks real!!!
Kewl Vicky! Please show the hard cover coloring book. Because I have to carry a tote, having something like a hard cover book would work better for me. TYFS always xoxo
so cool Vicky. I have the book too but I'm afraid to start...I might ruin the pic. check out Kourtney Ferro TH-cam video on colouring the fox. thanks for this video. I'm going to attempt colouring the bee!
Really awesome process. I've never seen a coloring book like this one. Thanks for sharing and helping to break the bank!

This is a neat coloring book I haven't seen this kind before, and the other coloring book I would like to see that as well. Thank you for sharing.
Such a good video and so very helpful. Hope you do more and thanks so much for sharing the colors you used. ☺️

Great video for learning how to colour grayscale. I love Nicole Stocker's books.
Thank you MissVickyBee! You're so awesome!
Inspiring and fun to watch:) I would also love to see the other coloring book that you showed briefly:)
That looks like it would be really neat to do! I've gotta show my hubby🤗!
Look like a fun book!!!! Thanks....

There is also a book called Gorgeous Greyscale, cats and zoo animals also available on Amazon.

If you like greyscale coloring go on pinterest. You got loads of pictures in greyscale. I did color fishes and looks great too

Thanks for the comment. But I buy all my coloring books from amazone now.
This picture is the only one I colored.
Really Cool ! ( not mocking you ) I like the grayscale that's not to dark. They can be so hard to cover ! Nice work on the honeybee. Very Cool !
Great video! Would love to see a video of the nature book.
