I’m a bit struggling lately financially. My rabbit has been really sick, and she’s been in and out of the vet.
I’ve been paying for all sorts of tests, and today a surgery for her. I’ve been stressed on how I’m going to pay for all of it, I’ve been putting it on my credit card.
So today I sat down and spent 4 hours drawing, Using my Wacom Cintiq.
I was able to draw 30 Pages! An ENTIRE COLORING BOOK!
They are Mandalas! I can’t wait to publish it and see how it does.
My e-mail lists and fans don’t even know this book exists yet. Steemit is the first to see it!
I spent an additional 1.5 hours editing and converting, For those of you wondering. I used clipstudio paint in order to draw these! I wanted to do another Mandala book, Because when I first started Adult coloring books, I published a few lame ones! So now I’m trying to publish another awesome one.
A Quick Layout of How I create these books:
- Come up with ideas,
Decide if the ideas are worth doing, I’ll often do lots of research. - If it’s something more complicated like animals or something specific I’ll often brainstorm a list of things I want to be sure to include in the book.
- Start drawing! Sometimes I do digitally using my Wacom Cintiq, or by Hand.
- After drawing a picture, I’ll send it to Vector Magic to create a beautiful vector drawing.
- I then import it into gimp as an .SVG file, I do the last editing bits, Then I export it at 300 DPI As a PNG file.
- After finishing all the images, I set up a file in Microsoft word, I manually add each image. I also type up anything I want in the book.
- I’ll then create my own cover, Or sometimes pay a freelancer to do it for me.
- I send it to the printing company and prepare for publishing, I then come up with a Marketing plan.
- I then market the book like crazy! Focusing on a variety of factors such as reviews, Amazon BSR, and other things.
Well there you have it Steemit! My new book! Nature Mandalas!
All done in one day! I hope to publish it soon (Still in the process of getting a cover design)
For more coloring stuff my website is

But It looks mediocre right now, I need to do some work on it!
That is a marvelous display of patience you have there. Such precision and symmetry is pleasant to the eyes. Loving your art!
Unicorn Jenoodle approves.
Thank you very much ! hehe
This was a great idea' I haven't seen nature mandalas yet. I always wanted to learn Gimp but it kinda died after I installed it. I haven't made the time to learn it. Also for your website you can do like a black on white background,where the green is, from your mandalas for example. Just an example of what I mean.

Ohh thank you! I'll try that! I'm not very good with website design so I'm not sure what to use and stuf!
Wait, whaaaaat?!?!? You did this ALL in ONE Day?!?!? Dayamm, that's amazing!
So I was looking at some of them, and it looked like they were moving or something! Is that supposed to happen? And I am totally straight and sober so it isn't from any substance! :P
One or maybe two look like an Oreo cookie! I would color that one in shades of black and freestyle a glass of milk on the page next to it. :D
Great work and super fast work! If you were drawing this in your car, a cop could ticket you for speeding even if you were parked :P
Best wishes with this; I hope you sell a million of 'em!
Yes one day! I was tired but determined to finish it!
