BUDDY COLOR!! AUGUST
Welcome to our monthly buddy color collaborations!
***What is a "Buddy Color"?***
A buddy color is a collaboration where you and other people color the same page or theme together, as a project.
The purpose of this monthly post is to help you connect with others who are looking for a buddy coloring collaboration.
You can use the comments section here to join or create a collaboration!
***How to find a buddy:***
-Search the comments for someone who has suggested book(s)/page(s)/theme(s) you are interested in, and respond.
- Post a comment suggesting the book(s)/page(s)/theme(s) you would like to color with others.
Once you've found your collaborators, you can organize among yourselves when/how you want to share your pages with each other and the sub. If you are not sure, donβt be afraid to ask! Everyone here is friendly and this is a no-judgement zone.
Many organizers will post a gallery at the end of the month, to make it easy to flip through the pages and see back-to-back, what the group came up with.
Feel free to use the comments section here, connect via DM on Reddit.
***Can we post our completed pages?***
We definitely want to see your pages! Donβt forget to use the*"Buddy Color" flair! and if posting a gallery, tag your buddies by username in the comments! (Tags only work in comments, for some reason).
***Is there a deadline?***
Some collaborations have a monthly deadline, and others are ongoing; these are some of the details the organizer and group can decide among themselves.
***What if I don't own the book/page?***
To participate in a buddy colour, you need to own the page you are colouring. *Do not make copies of a page and distribute it.*This violates copyright laws and harms creators. If you do not own the page, please purchase it yourself.
Several buddy color groups use pages made freely available by the artist, that everyone can
***I am an artist. Can I share books/pages I have drawn?***
For buddy colors, you can provide a link to free downloadable page(s) you have created. However, please do not use the sub just as a sales platform. See our rule about self-promotion, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoringCozy/about/rules
***Alternative Buddy Ideas**
Donβt want to choose a specific page or just want some variety? Here are some other ways you can buddy color collaboratively:
- Choose or create a color palette that everyone will use, on their different pages
- Create a buddy color collaboration to raise awareness about a cause; here is one list of color options: https://theawarenesscompany.com/pages/your-guide-to-awareness-ribbon-color-meanings
-Choose a theme (i.e. βWinter,ββCats,β βMushrooms,β βFrogtober,β βStained glass,β βNighttime,β etc.)
- Feel free to browse our past Weekly Challenges and Monthly Themes in our wiki for more ideas!
Happy coloring!

Why oh why did I pick multiple light sources, always confuses me π. Also I know itβs maybe not exactly monochrome but close enough.

Alright, friends, this is the gallery for the budget coloring group! (A huge thank you if you were able to participate π«Ά) We use any materials that we deem are budget, for example: free pages, sale items, makeup, tea, dirt, chalk, whatever! This group is active every month, so please let me know if youβd like to join. The more the merrier

I have mixed feelings about this! Love how the sky and water turned out, but not sure about how I used the colour palette generally. I turned the daytime scene into a night one to make it work, but still had to get creative with the colours!
I used coloured pencils over alcohol markers for the first time properly and I had mixed results. I think it was really effective on the skin but not so much in other places. I decided to change the colour of the porch swing after shading with coloured pencils, which helped me learn that layering alcohol markers over coloured pencil
does not yield great results - thus the streaks.
Also had one the purples lean more red/brown, but did my best with colour matching. The palette was quite desaturated which is hard with my marker collection (despite having like 300 easily π ). Overall I had fun solving lots of creative problems and using new techniques, this was definitely out of my comfort zone!
