November Fan of the Month Winners

Each month, our judges Erika, AJ, and Audrey select 3 winning submissions based on very specific judging criteria. This is a very tough process since the talent within the ColorIt Community is beyond impressive! We are always so excited to see the submissions come rolling in each month. We want to reward all of our colorists, which is why we also select 3 submissions at random! Each winner receives a $25 ColorIt gift card, but this month we had contestants DOUBLE their prize by having their ColorIt Colored Pencils, Markers, or Gel Pens in their submission photo. Read on to see exclusive ColorIt interviews with some of August's winners, their winning pages, and more!

When did you first pick up a coloring book?
I first started coloring when I was little, I used to draw a lot of my own images before adult coloring became a thing. It was awesome to discover adult coloring books for those days I wanted to be lazier, so to speak, and not draw an image to color.

Describe your perfect coloring atmosphere.
I really don't have a coloring atmosphere lol. I do always have music playing tho, so maybe that counts? (It totally does!)

Tell us about your creative process when you get ready to color.
First thing I always do is decide where my light source is coming from. I'm also one to color my background first, so always planning colors to use.

How has coloring changed or added to your life?
Coloring just gave me more creative outlets. I'm very into all things art, so just added to that.

What advice would you give someone who isn’t confident about their coloring technique?
My advice for anyone who isn't confident: keep practicing, art is in the eye of the beholder and all art is beautiful. I guarantee you someone will love any page you do. Most importantly, never compare your work to others; have fun and never stress or worry.

What’s your favorite ColorIt book?
I'm new to ColorIt, as this was my first page from ColorIt. I'm interested in buying Blissful Scenes 😊

When did you first pick up a coloring book?
I first picked up coloring in kindergarten. I loved coloring with my boys when they were growing up and now I love coloring with my granddaughter. I wish she lived closer so I could do it more often.

Tell us about your creative process when you get ready to color.
I have no creative process, I just grab my book and pencils or markers and just go at it.

How has coloring changed or added to your life?
I usually use it to de-stress after a hard day. It soothes me.

This coloring page was selected by AJ and is from our newest coloring book, A Colorful Christmas! This coloring page is a burst of bright colors! I'm hoping one of those colorful presents is for me! (: Great job, Carol. (Click image to enlarge!)

What advice would you give someone who isn’t confident about their coloring technique?
my advice for anyone would be just feel it, do what you want. There is no correct or incorrect way to do it.

What’s your favorite ColorIt book?
Im new to Colorit, so have not seen many books or products, but I love the Blissful scenes book I just got with my fan of the month gift card.
