Coloring with inktense pencils | Minimania 1 | Gabi Wolf | Prismas, Polys, markers | Happy mail

Hello everyone, welcome to my coloring channel for adults.
Today I am coloring in the super cute book Minimania 1 by Gabi Wolf.
It's one of my focus books for 2024.
The images are really sweet, cute and fun.

It's a joy to color in Gabi's books, especially the kawaii style Minimania series.
So much so I have started 75% of the pages in Minimania 1.
I have completed 13 out of 30 pages at the time of editing this video.
I'm saving them for another video.

I love how Gabi brings all her previous book styles together in this latest series: landscapes, houses, nature, kawaii and manadala patterns.

Thoughts behind my oceanic page:

I am inspired by the page I colored in Lost Ocean by Johanna Basford.
Credit: It was a colour along with Olivier Odorant's patreon. ‪@OlivierOdorant‬

I wanted to see if the background sunbeams could be translated to a smaller detailed cuter image.
Let's find out if it worked as I use the following art supplies:

Derwent inktense pencils, activated with a Tombow blender pen - no bleed through.
Polychromos and Prismacolor premier pencils
Alcohol markers: Ohuhu honolulu and Spectrum Noir Tri-blends (still learning)
White gel and acrylic pens
Glitter pens - Uniball & Pentel

This video is part chatty, part ambient ocean sounds.
Some coloring is in real time, some is sped up.

Stick around for my surprise Happy Mail *;)

So was the background a hit or miss ?
A step too far or completely lost in the detail ?
It was fun to color but took a long time, so apologies in the delay to bring this video to you all.

Thank you kindly for thinking of my channel Gabi and sending me my first illustrator happy mail :)
FYI I now have copies of Minimania 4 printed in UK and Poland.

My partner Mr Bee liked the submarine cover design so much that I gifted
my spare UK copy of the Minimania 4 book to him.
He is enjoying coloring in his very first adult coloring book. I also gifted him some pencils. *:)
