THE MINI BOX
This box contains 40 original illustrations printed on card-sized, white card stock (no repeats) and each design is printed on one side of the card only. Designs are printed at 50% black (grey) so there is less emphasis on black lines. This allows you to focus more on the colors and shapes and gives you a lot more flexibility. This card stock allows for some use of watercolor and markers as well.
The Mini Box Set is perfect for taking on trips, or for when you just need a little something to color but don't want to work on a larger page. You can also store your colored pieces in the box for safe keeping, or use them as greeting cards for someone special.
Each illustration was originally hand-drawn by myself (the artist) and then digitized for printing (and for digital coloring page downloads). There is no clip-art or "canned" art in this or any of my collections.
Each illustration took anywhere from 8 to 12 hours to complete … sometimes even longer, and every one of my illustrations are a labor of love. Many of the illustrations are complex and filled with a lot of small details, but they are balanced with less complex designs as well. A mix of coloring tools is encouraged—don’t be afraid to take your coloring to the next level!
That said, I have to mention some IMPORTANT LEGALESE …..
PLEASE respect the time and effort that went into creating these illustrations (all of my art is officially copyrighted) and do not reproduce the black and white images, or use the images commercially. This coloring collection is for your personal enjoyment. While you may make copies for personal use (to try different media or color palettes), selling any and all items using any of my images in any form (colored or uncolored) is prohibited. Please do not post images from the collection online without coloring them first.
If you want to share your colored creations online, PLEASE DO! But please credit Ruby Charm (aka Susan Carlson) as the artist of the original illustration in addition to yourself as the colorist. As the artist, I retain all copyright protections, rights, and privileges. Thank you for understanding and for supporting an artist! You can reach me here if you have questions: rubycharm@hotmail.com.
COLORING TIPS:
Each one of my designs is tested with color by myself or my coloring team before I let them go out into the world. I sometimes use watercolor pencils to lay down my base colors. Once my water-colored areas are dry, I go back over those colors with a variety of colored pencils in light layers to add detail, definition and depth. I also use a mix of mica paints and gel pens in my colorings as well.
If you would like to experiment with different papers, color palettes and techniques, you can either make a copy of the card before coloring it, or download any one of the illustrations from this collection through the Ruby Charm Colors shop.
You can also find my work on Instagram (@rubycharmcolors / https://www.instagram.com/RubyCharmColors/). If you follow me on IG, tag #rubycharmcolors if you post your colored work—I would really love to see it! And please join the Ruby Charm Colors private coloring group on Facebook - so many wonderful people there sharing coloring, tip, ideas, and art supply talk. :)
