I’ve been impossibly busy this past month, mostly because I spent half of May preparing for, going to, and recovering from, Comics Camp! My trip was delightful and a great inspiration for sending the Princess Pups out into the woods for a fun coloring page. All five pups are gathered around for campfire snack time for your coloring delight! Each pup seems to have different levels of success with makin’ the s’mores though. Don’t worry, I’m sure Corgi Pup will get her marshmallow to stop being on fire!
I did a rough sketch in my sketchbook for my overall layout of this coloring page, which you can see below. Since I’d doodled Fluff Pup in blue-line pencil and had the settings up high, she’s not visible in the scanned sketch. I had to add her rough sketch in digitally during the layout part of the work.
In this month’s timelapse, you might spot where I dropped in my initial sketchbook scan right at the start! I had a lot of fun giving the pups different camping gear. I might have gotten extra absorbed in drawing piles of the woods behind them too!
Frequent readers might notice there’s just one coloring page this month. I’m adjusting my goals to one coloring page a month instead of two. I’m intending to dedicate more of that time to the comic and for a coloring page that can have a bit more detail. Based on the “Work Time” Clip Studio records for me though, I might have gone a bit longer on this on than I planned. Whoops! It’s probably because I kept staring at the wonderful reference photos I took of the Alaska rainforest where I spent time during comics camp. You can read more about my time at Comics Camp on my Substack.
Don’t worry if you need stuff to color though, because there’s still a metric TON of Princess Pups coloring pages over in the Coloring Pages section of the site!
I'm Lindsay and I draw the Princess Pups. It's a cozy and silly all-ages comic about puppies having adventures!
