Adults Who Color

Saan may macro raffine na 72 colors and how much?

Hi, sis. May local seller sa OLX. Eto yung ad nya http://olx.ph/item/raffine-colored-pencils-ID6UClx.html?p=2#a46625f21b.

Sa ebay madami kaso naiinip naman ako kasi baka umabot ng 1 month sa pag ship. Abot ng 2k yung 72 colors sa tin can tapos mga 1.6k pag box lang.

EDIT to add update.

I went and bought this 72-piece pencil set. I love that it comes in a tin can and two trays. What I didn't love is the colors are not as intense as I expected and the the shades are sometimes so similar to each other that I have a hard time telling them apart. The pencils go by number, not names. Or maybe I'm just inexperienced. I like it overall even though it takes me a lot longer to pick colors. Maybe if I use it more, I'll get the hang of it.

I have 4 coloring books, 48 faber castell colored pencils, 30 faber castell colored pens and 24 Maped colored pens. Before I also have the 24 art attack colored pens pero tinabi ko na siya dahil madaling masira ang tip niya kahit gentle lang ang pagcolor. Kumakalat kasi siya dahil naghihiwalay yung fiber ng tip ng pen. Siguro kasi 150 lang siya.

^ 'Di ba sis?? 'Pagpunta ko sa mall bookstore agad ang hanap ko.

Currently I have seven books at plan ko na to stop buying more. Coloring materials na lang siguro though I pretty much have the basics na. My favorites so far are the Colleen color pencils (I have the 775, 787, and 785 -- 775 daw ang pinaka vibrant among the three but frankly I can't tell the difference ) that I blend with my Maped ColorPeps, KK Watercolor Pens that I surprisingly liked, and Li'l Hands Washable Markers.

Have also recently tried experimenting with oil pastels, and I'm liking it kasi vibrant colors and easier blending, so baka simulan ko na the pages with bigger images na ini-skip ko before kasi nakakatakot lol.

One-sided lang din lahat ng books ko except for Secret Garden na nakaka-overwhelm sa dami at liit ng mga kukulayan. Gusto ko gamitan ng markers pero but tumatagos sa likod dahil heavy ako mag-color.

The Hue Can Do It coloring book is nice din, pero sobrang artsy ng images kaya nakaka-intimidate, parang hindi siya pang-amateur colorists. Haha.

I'm satisifed with the Colleen coloured pencils, yun lang di pala sharpened hehe..Im torn between buying these and the Faber Castell water coloured pencils kasi medyo mahal e baka pagsawaan ko lang.. Ok ba yung FS? Pag yung Creative Haven ang colouring book mo, pwede ba don ang coloured markers or mag bleed? ok naman ako with coloured pencils, ang nice!3-D pa effect ng coloring book ko haha...e yung mga stabilo na parang coloured pens? are they OK? Sorry po daming tanong, excited lang..halfway pa lang ako sa 1st page ko hehe

What do you guys use (or any techniques) for blending colors? Dito ako talaga nagstruggle

^ Same here sis, gusto ko din ng Polychromos and Prismacolor. I have the Colleen 775, 24's. I love Colleen naman, kaya lang nakukulangan ako sa 24. Haha! Mostly sold out naman 60's. I was asking my sister (a flight attendant) kung meron siya nakikita na coloring materials outside PH. She said madami daw sa Bangkok nun. Hopefully, sana may mabili siya. Not sure lang if mas mura or mahal ba.

Where did you buy Colleen 775 and how much? An online seller's price is Php850 plus shipping fee of Php60. Is this already a good deal?

It's my first time to try an adult coloring book! I am really curious if this will help in my stress-management. Puro na lang kasi TV series and reading books and de-stress ko. I can't do any cross-stitch anymore due to my hands. I might as well try another one. Di ko kasi kaya ng tulala lang ako. Haha!

After a thorough research, I opted to by Color Me Happy by Lacy Mucklow. Honestly, type ko buong series but I need to take one step at a time. I am really thankful to @coloringbooksph. She's very honest and straightforward but not in a rude manner. Temporarily out of stock na kasi yung Color Me Happy sa Amazon and other online sellers priced it at Php1000-1400.00 Eh sa Amazon nasa 650-750 lang. Si @coloringbooksph is selling it at Php750 shipping included. Bonus pa if you have a Shopee app account since it has vouchers for the items.

Bale, pencils na lang.

^hi sis, if manila area ka try Joli's at P. Noval. Colleen there 60's is just 560. and madami ka pang makikitang ibang coloring materials like oil pastels, soft pastels, brush pens, water brush pens and other brands of colored pencils na cheaper ang price compared to nbs. as for coloring books naman it doesn't need to be expensive as madami ng lumabas na magaganda at a very low price. even Sm dept store sells them na. there are local artist too. summit released a good coloring book for just 195. very think pages too. hope this helps 

happy coloring

^Thank you sis for the tips! Try ko ngang pumunta dun sa Joli's.

Most coloring books ba pwedeng pilasin para ipa-frame?

[happytalker]

Thx sis seven82, was able to buy colleen 60s at joli's. Tagal ko na nagaantay na magkastock sa nbs sometimes natetempt na ako to get faber castel 48s.

[LuneGoddess]

^How much bili mo sis?

[seven82]

^^welcome sis  umiiwas na nga akong pumunta doon haha

Most coloring books ba pwedeng pilasin para ipa-frame?

not all. Design Originals by Thaneeya McArdle perforated. yung iba naman as long as one side print pwede mo naman pilasin and ipaframe

[happytalker]

560php lang ang colleen 60s sa joli's almost same price sa faber 48s sa nbs.

Pa-join, girls!

I currently have 2 coloring books - Alice in Wonderland and Secret Garden. I have 1 12 piece na colored pencils from National Book Store and 1 set of 12 na pentel pens from Daiso. So far, I've been using yung pentel pens lang kase parang mas gusto ko na bright yung color.

Wala pa akong investment na mas expensive na coloring materials, maybe soon.

560php lang ang colleen 60s sa joli's almost same price sa faber 48s sa nbs.

Thank you sis!

[Itsmai.Shop]

i love the korean version of secret garden and enchanted forest, way way cheaper than those sold in Powerbooks or national. price range is 200-300 pesos then super dami i think it will take years for me to finish it.

[sushisundance]

80 pesos na lang ang wholesale sa Divi ng mga coloring books, so kung 3 pcs makaka 240 ka lang lol. Pag retail nasa 120.

[kittycat228]

may wholesale coloring books kaya in baclaran?

[happytalker]

What brand/kind of sharpener do you use for your colored pencils?

[minabey]

I found a 3 hole sharpener from NBS worth 25php. The middle one was for colored pencils, which gave a shorter tip. The left one was for regular pencils and the last one was for jumbo pencils.

I had a Maped one before this which had a cover para hindi kakalat yung pencil shavings but it gave a very long tip sa color pencil which I found to be wasteful since tasa ako ng tasa to get a sharp tip.

[happytalker]

Thx sis, tamang tama will have to go to NBS later

[D4thAngel]

Joining. I bought the Color Calm book from NBS, using Dong-A twistable pencils and Marco Raffine watercolor pencils. For me vibrant naman yung colors, but still ordered Colleen watercolor pencils na 36 pcs for P530.

[mommyxthree]

Curious ako sa watercolor pencils.  Madali lang ba gamitin? 

[happytalker]

I think water color pencils pangcolor lang ng big areas.
