Okay, so maybe this is the silliest thing I've drawn but the idea just wouldn't get out of my head!

 

Breakfast Party Coloring Pages!

I love breakfast! Including breakfast at dinner, known to some as “brinner!” The Princess Pups love it too, especially stackable breakfast like pancakes and waffles. I had so much fun drawing the pups having a pancake party comic that I decided to do a breakfast party themed set of coloring pages for this month!

The first coloring page features Corgi Pup and Pug Pup stacking their pile of pancakes with lots of toppings! There’s tons of toppings to color here: strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, whipped cream, cherries…and of course, syrup! It’s surprising that Pug Pup hasn’t managed to splatter the syrup about while pouring it on the stack of pancakes near Corgi Pup’s paw. (It might still happen, honestly)

A smiling Pug Pup is holding a syrup bottle high above her head as she pours syrup onto a stack of pancakes. Corgi Pup, licking her lips and smiling, is adding a strawberry to the sam stack. Nearby the toppings is an already piled-high stack of pancakes with whipped cream, syrup, a cherry and blueberries.
Pug Pup and Corgi Pup have SO MANY TOPPINGS to choose from for pancakes!

In this month’s second coloring page, the rest of the pups are preparing waffles. (Don’t worry, they’re not just square pancakes!) TeaCup Pup is gracefully using her magic wand to lift freshly-made waffles up into the air onto Fluff Pup’s awaiting plate. However, it looks like Scruffy Pup has skipped over using a plate and is content to lean on the cupboard chewin’ on a waffle by itself!

She uses her magic wand to float fresh waffles from the waffle maker to a plate held by a hungry Fluff Pup who's sitting on a nearby tall stool. On the floor below TeaCup Pup, Scruffy Pup is chewing on a waffle she holds eagerly in both paws.
Really, Scruffy Pup is right, the plate just gets in the way.

For this month’s timelapse video, you can see waffles go from sketch to float! Hopefully you don’t spot when I slightly obsessed over if the waffles should have three or four square indents in them per row…Remember that you can find these and other coloring pages on the Coloring Pages section of the site!

Rainy Day Coloring Pages!

The weather here in St. Louis is notorious for flipping about: a few days ago it was nice and sunny in the high 80’s! The next day, I needed my raincoat for the murky and cloudy 50 degrees that snuck in. But you’re in luck: rainy days for Princess Pups means cute puppy rain coats and puppies in boots to color!

A screenshot from Clip Studio Pro of several sketchbook drawings and one digital sketch. Two sketches focus on Princess Pups in the rain with the Commando Cats, offering one cat an umbrella and giving the other a big hug! One sketch has a confused Corgi Pup with a rainboot stuck to her booty instead of on her feet as her pals Fluff Pup and TeaCup Pup play in puddles in their rain gear.
These coloring pages started as fun doodles in my sketchbook that I ported over into Clip Studio!

In this month’s first coloring page, Scruffy Pup shares her umbrella with an un-coated Commando Cat, who wandered off without any rainy day gear! What a pal! It seems that Pug Pup is much too busy hugging the other Commando Cat to shift the umbrella over to cover him…he’s just too cuddly!

A coloring page set outside on a rainy day. In the foreground, Scruffy Pup, dressed in a raincoat, happily shares an umbrella with the fluffy Commando Cat, who's looks sheepishly grateful. A bug-eyed frog sits in a puddle nearby them. In the background, Pug Pup, also in her raincoat, is busy hugging the taller Commando Cat. Pug Pup's umbrella is shifted behind her so unfortunately the grumpy cat is not shielded from the rainy.
Maybe the Commando Cats should have packed their rain coats?

This month’s second rainy day themed coloring page has Fluff Pup, TeaCup Pup, and Corgi Pup exploring rain puddles in their rain boots! While Fluff Pup and TeaCup pup happily tap their boots into puddles, Corgi Pup finds herself in a weird situation…Somehow, she doesn’t have any boots at all, except for one very large one stuck to her booty?!

A coloring page three of the Princess Pups outside on a rainy day. All three are wearing their raincoats. Fluff Pup carefully splashes a puddle with a front-booted foot with a slight smile. TeaCup Pup happily splashes a different puddle with her front foot. Corgi Pup has no boots on her feet and stares behind her in confusion and annoyed disbelief at the giant boot stuck to her booty.
That boot stuck to Corgi Pup doesn’t even fit any of the pups, where did it come from?!

This month’s timelapse is the Pups and Commando Cats scene! I did some adjustments from my original sketches using the Clip Studio Pro perspective rulers (which conveniently don’t appear in the video) to adjust the umbrella shapes. You might also spot how the frog was a sudden addition! Remember you can find these and other coloring pages on the Coloring Page section of the site!

Valentine Craft Coloring!

Valentine’s Day is fully of hearts and chocolates but also: crafts! Or, as we say in our house: “craaaafts! I want to do craaaaafts!” This month’s coloring pages has all the Princess Pups participating in pretty popular Valentine themed crafts!

First up we have Scruffy Pup, TeaCup Pup, and Fluff Pup making heart-filled garlands to hang! There’s lots of patterns on the hearts to color in all sorts of ways, but I’m not sure that the string will be able to hang on the wall with TeaCup Pup swinging from it….

So many hanging hearts!

In this month’s second coloring page, I’ve got Corgi Pup and Pug Pup crafting Valentine’s cards! While Corgi Pup has been focused on her card, it seems that Pug Pup has gone a bit overboard in the size of the card she made. (Don’t worry, it’s made of light-weight card stock paper, so it won’t hurt if it topples onto them!)

Corgi Pup has her eyes shifted to the right to look behind her at a giant, looming Valentine heart card that Pug Pup has made (and is very proud of). The floor around them is littered with crafting supplies like a jar of pom-poms, glue, paper and stickers. These also cover the giant heart card!
Pug Pup is so proud of her massive Valentine card!

The pups have had a few Valentine adventures in the past. I’ve even made some swell printable cards based on a comic. You can download these printable Princess Pups Valentines below!

This month’s timelapse video is a glimpse at the garland Valentine craft! It was fun doing different lil’ patterns to go into the hanging hearts, so I hope it adds lots of variety to your coloring! You’ll find this month’s coloring pages plus a ton more (including past Valentine ones!) over here in the Coloring Pages!

Step Right Up for Circus Coloring Pages!

It’s time for this month’s coloring pages so you have something to do to stay out of the cold! Hiding inside to drink hot chocolate and color is so much nicer (to me, anyway). This month, I peeped through some of my sketchbook doodles for a theme that I’d thought of a while back but hadn’t done yet: the circus! You can see the rough sketches below, crowded about with my rough notes of ideas.

A photo of a physical sketchbook page. There's lots of pencil drawings of bears and ideas for circus themed images for Princess Pups. The ideas include Scruffy Pup as a ringmaster with a goat on a ball, Fluff Pup and Corgi Pup as clowns, and TeaCup Pup and Pug Pup doing the trapeze with a goat
Some bear doodles from a previous comic are also living on this page!

I had three ideas that I liked, but I stick with two coloring pages max each month. After getting a bit of advice, I decided to combine the trapeze sketch as the background element of Scruffy Pup as a ringmaster! While I was working on it, I decided pushing the image with a nice big foreground element would make it even more interesting to color…and the best foreground element is usually a goat! This one was a lot of fun to draw, especially with TeaCup Pup being uncertain about how a goat can add to the complexity of doing a trapeze act!

I’d go to a circus with goat performers, hands-down.

Since goats were scattered in the first coloring page, I decided to add another in the second coloring page. Fluff Pup and Corgi Pup are decked out in clown gear with a lil’ assistant clown goat! I’m not sure Corgi Pup enjoys her clown outfit though. Maybe it’s the large shoes? Or maybe she’s bothered that she can’t juggle with a goat on her back and giant shoes on her feet?…

While Corgi Pup isn’t as big on being in clown gear, Fluff pup is super excited to juggle!

For this month’s timelapse, here’s a peek at how many times I had to shuffle around the parts of the main event illustration! Using layering is a super-big help with digital drawing, especially when there’s a lot going on. I eventually made the trapeze act larger because it didn’t look like it would be big enough to color at the original size. Originally, I hadn’t planned on the ball-balancing goat having a costume, but they needed a lil’ more flair.
