Portrait Painting

Portrait painting is quite a skill! So is being able to sit still for a portrait painting. Because you could be spending that time eating snacks, y'know?

 

Catching Snowflakes and Coloring Pages!

It’s colder outside! Or reasonably so! That means you should stay inside and color cozy coloring pages that contain Princess Pups enjoying hot beverages and snowy weather! In the most recent comic, some of the pups were getting into hot chocolate. So for one of the coloring pages this month, we’ve got all five pups enjoying some hot drink goodness! Could be hot chocolate, could be tea, could be whatever you want to color in those mugs!

Don’t worry, they let the hot drinks cool before sticking their puppy dog tongues in the mugs!

This month’s other coloring page has the pups outside trying to catch snowflakes! They’re in some winter gear, which can be tricky for someone like Corgi Pup to get into with her stubby legs. She’s determined to get outside with a cozy sweater on though! This page is landscape and is formatted to print sideways for you!

Both of these coloring pages, along with cozy coloring pages of seasons past, are available in the Coloring Pages section of the site!

They might need to be on a greeting card with the cuteness happening here!

Batty and Spooky Coloring Pages!

This month’s coloring pages are fit for Spooky Season! First we have Teacup Pup donning some sweet bat wings to fit in with the new bat friends she made recently! Teacup Pup knows she can’t fly like her bat friends but she can pretend with those sweet, sweet wings…

This month’s other free coloring page is Pug Pup dressed to impress in her homemade spider costume! She made it herself and she is very proud of it. 🙂

Pug Pup already has a bucket of candy to go with her costume!

You’ll find these Halloweenie coloring pages along with other Halloweenie coloring pages over here!

Corgi Pup Coloring is Afoot!

This month, without actually intending it, there’s a happy accident of Corgi Pup being the Main Focus of new colors pages! She discovered some dinosaur bones in a recent comic, which was the inspiration for one of this month’s coloring pages. While TeaCup Pup is helping with the dig, it seems that Scruffy Pup is falling into old habits of chomping on fossil bones…

Each pup got a fun hat to wear while on the dino dig!
The cover of When Dinosaurs Wrestled the Earth

If you’re a big dinosaur fan, this summer we released When Dinosaurs Wrestled The Earth’s second printing, which is a super fun coloring book featuring dinosaur wrestlers! The line art is by my best friend, partner, and husband James Hornsby. I had a lot of fun coloring the front and back cover art for the book. Each page features some cheeky tidbit about a particular dinosaur and their wrestling gimmick. When I noticed we were running low on our original print run, I decided to reformat the book so that each image is on a single page, which reduces bleed-through from markers. You can buy a copy here.

This month’s second coloring page that also features Corgi Pup is surfing themed! Corgi Pup seems unsure of her decision to be on a surf board (I don’t blame her – I’ve never surfed and wouldn’t know what to do!). Scruffy Pup, meanwhile, seems to know what she’s doing?

I hope you enjoy coloring this month’s pages! You can download even more coloring pages over in the coloring pages section!

Coloring pages and GeekCraft Wrap-up!

It’s time for a brand-new coloring page and this month we have Pug Pup and TeaCup Pup digging into the cookie jar! While TeaCup Pup is small enough to fit into a cookie jar, Pug Pup is happy to hang out nearby said cookie jar and just keep pluckin’ cookies from the jar with a paw.

Pug Pup and TeaCup Pup enjoy some quality cookie time!

Also, as promised earlier this month, I have a free downloadable coloring page from Princess Pups Coloring Party that I released earlier this month! This coloring page is of the cover art for the still-pretty-dang-new Princess Pups Coloring Party coloring and activity book! I added it as the first page for the new coloring book as I was really happy with how it turned out. The Pups love to color!

The Princess Pups enjoy coloring in multiple medias!

If you haven’t had a chance to pick up a copy of the new book. you can order it on Amazon or buy a copy from me in person if you find me at an event. Like a lot of swell people did when I was a vendor at GeekCraft Expo last week, which is a super cool show for buying handmade geeky things.

The booth setup for MegaGiganto, our small biz for making comics and swell fun things.

Besides selling comics and coloring books with me and my husband’s artwork, I’ve been slowly designing and crocheting plush versions of Princess Pups and sold a TeaCup Pup to a super happy customer. I also crochet DINOSAUR WRESTLERS which were happily picked up by a lot of dinosaur fans.

I pre-registered for the 2023 GeekCraft Expo as well. So if you weren’t in the St. Louis area for this year’s GeekCraft Expo, you can find me next year 🙂
