Doodleworlds, December facebook group challenge
Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans facebook group challenge for December
This month, the challenge for the members of the facebook group Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans is a little different. I’ve set them a challenge to use limited palettes of winter or Christmas or holiday colours to colour in any template they wish and to share their results. I’m hoping for lots of sparkle and shine!
The image above is my offering today for the group, the template I created exclusively for them, so if you’d like to get it and colour it, head over to Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans and sign up. You’ll be sure to get a warm welcome there!
I drew the design on my Microsoft Surface Book using my Surface Pen and Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. I used the same tools to colour the image.

Doodleworlds
Just a reminder that the Doodleworlds colouring book is available via my Etsy shop, called Artwyrd, and on Amazon.co.uk, other European Amazon sites, but not on Amazon.com yet.

Doodleworlds Coloring Book
Doodleworlds is now available through Amazon.co.uk
For some reason it’s not quite there at Amazon.com; there are some third party sellers offering the book for purchase at around double the price I’ve set. I trust the book will be live on Amazon.com in the next day or few.
In a shortwhile, a pdf version of the book is available via Etsy – perfect for colorists who love to print on paper or other substrates that is suitable for their favourite medium.
It contains 40 whimsical, fun, details coloring templates, where the creatures that inhabit the Doodleworlds journey through different landscapes. It is quintessentially Angela in style, quite intricate, busy, but cute and a little different to my previous books.
Anyone of any age who enjoys colouring in the more detailed designs will love this. Also, the imaginative and ‘doodly’ nature of the artwork means you can let yourself go and just have fun with colour!
There is a facebook fan group – Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans – which you can join and share your coloured work with other colorists who love my work.
Of course, you can also share your work directly with me via my facebook page – Angela Porter Illustrator, or on Instagram where you can tag me as AngelaPorterIllustrator.
I’d love to see how you bring the denizens and realms of the Doodleworlds to life with colour.

The coloured cover art on the front and back covers has been done by the winners of the contest run in the facebook group Angela Porter’s Coloring Book Fans.
Here’s the back cover with the list of winners and their images on the covers:
Congratulations to them, and thank you for your work as well!

Hand lettering and update
It’s been a busy couple of weeks with various projects, as well as sorting out my accounts for my accountant (a very stressful thing for me, I panic so much about money it’s ridiculous).
One project is exploring the realms of hand lettering, and the above image is one result from this. I had fun doing this one, as if I don’t always have fun doing art!
Another project is the completion of the coloured art for Eerie Entangled, a book due out next July in the Creative Haven series from Dover Publications.
I’m still working on getting my Doodleworlds book ready for self-publication, that should happen before the end of this month, or at the latest the start of next.

November Colouring Challenge
A new month dawned yesterday, so it was time to set Novembers Colouring Challenge over on Angela Porter’s Colouring Book Fans on facebook.
The challenge is to colour the template using the provided colour palette.
The template and palette details are only available in the facebook group, so head on over there if you fancy joining me in the challenge!
I can’t wait to see what you do with the palette and template and how different they will all look.

Remembrance
It took me a couple of days to draw and colour these poppies rising through and floating on the green swirls.
It was a very intuitive drawing, and as I completed it I realised that the poppies are like memories, remembrances that rise with and float upon the currents of thoughts that flow through our conscious minds. Sometimes they stay below the surface, not forgotten but resting, at other times they rise up singly or, as in this case, in a plethora. Sad, painful even, in some cases, in others joyful.
Quite fitting as we leave Hallowe’en behind and move towards Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
I’ve added this design to products available in both my Vida Collection and my Zippi Portfolio.

Happy Hallowe’en and a Blessed Samhain to everyone!
Quickly created this morning – took around 3 hours to do. Lots of gradients used, and working with layers – learning new stuff still, as if that ever stops! Very sketchy kinds of drawings, but fun ones. I used a pencil brush to do that as well as for the colouring, along with a blender brush. I had fun. My cat is annoyed as I wanted to finish this and not go upstairs with him. I have a busy day ahead of me and may not get to do much art after this…

Abstract and stylised flowers
I’ve had a couple of busy days, including a Time to Change Wales anti-stigma talk with the South Wales Police. The talk wiped me out for a day or so, it always does as I get very anxious and emotional in telling my story.
So, I’ve been relatively quiet on the artsy front, but I did get these two abstract, stylised floral images done.
I rather like the bright colours, achieved using Kuretake’s Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Pens and a water pen. I like both the white and black outlines, though I do prefer the black; they make the image look more like stained glass.
Both of these designs are available on products from both my Vida collection and my Zippi Portfolio.
A nice change of pace and way of creating from my more usual entangled drawings with tiny details done with fine pens and a whimsical quality.

My art on Zippi
Yup, I have a collection now at Zippi. I only have one design there at the moment – Autumnly Entangled – but it’s available on a wide range of products including canvases, prints, cards, mugs, phone cases and skins, and more, and all affordable.
Here’s the framed print of this design:
