Comic Panel 1: Fluff Pup, a medium-sized brown puppy with fluffy ears, a pearl necklace and a golden crown on her head, and TeaCup Pup, a peach-colored teacup chihuahua wearing a gold and purple crown, are both working attentively on large lumps of modeling clay. TeaCup Pup is sitting directly on the table while working. Several sculpting tools and an open bucket of clay sit on the table as well. Comic Panel 2: A very ta-da feeling panel where Fluff Pup and TeaCup Pup look delightedly at their sculptured art. Fluff Pup has made a vase that appears somewhat inspired by art of ancient Greece with delicate triangular patterns at the top of the vase and a dignified dog standing in the middle. Meanwhile, TeaCup Pup has sculpted a dog with eyes closed majestically, head tilted up and long, flowing fur that covers the feet. Comic Panel 3: Fluff Pup and TeaCup Pup are staring confused and a little puzzled further down the table. It’s revealed Scruffy Pup, a large orange pup with a gold and purple crown, is laying on her back actively rolling back and forth on her modeling clay. She is having the time of her life with a happy expression and her tongue sticking out as lumps of clay stick to her fur.

Clay Day

Sculpting with clay is so much fun and the Princess Pups love a good art project! They all seem to approach it a little differently though, as Scruffy Pup shows...

 

Garden Goals for Coloring!

Winter has felt like it’s been too long where I live, with temperatures being cold and then a random day of spring-ish weather. Since the Princess Pups get the weather that I draw for them, this month’s coloring pages have our puppy friends enjoying nice, springlike outside weather in gardening environments!

The first coloring page has Pug Pup and Corgi Pup enjoying a swarm of butterflies that are fluttering around a giant shrub! Maybe one of them will land on Pug Pup or Corgi Pup?

Butterflies big and small are hovering around Pug Pup and Corgi Pup!

For the second coloring page, I wanted to have Fluff Pup working on some of her gardening by repotting some flowers. Scruffy Pup wants to help! But she’s not quite used to the process for transferring flowers, it seems…

Scruffy Pup doesn’t have as much experience gardening as Fluff Pup

For this month’s timelapse, you can see how much I nudged around Fluff Pup (and her head!) to make sure she fit on the page well with Scruffy Pup! Be sure to check the Coloring Pages section for these new coloring pages and stacks of others to color while enjoying nice spring weather!

Float into Valentine Coloring Pages!

I’m a fan of having the Princess Pups decked out for Valentines, sometimes in comics and sometimes as actual printable Valentines with cheesy phrases (go on, click that link and print some free Valentines!). While I don’t have more printable Valentines this year, I do have some printable coloring pages with fun heart-shaped goodness to them! First is TeaCup Pup visiting that Grumpy Goose (who made another appearance recently in the comic) to present him with a Valentine pretzel! The Grumpy Goose appears to have another emotion now because he’s blushing!

Can you turn down a Valentine made from a delightful soft-baked pretzel? I know I can’t.

This month’s second coloring page has Scruffy Pup and Corgi Pup enjoying some fun heart-shaped balloons! The balloons seem to be pretty sturdy and can carry the pups away, which Scruffy Pup doesn’t seem to mind. Corgi Pup might not have been expecting this though.

How did Corgi Pup end up wrapped up instead of holding balloons anyway?…

I did a lot of nudging and tweaking on this last page, which makes for an interesting timelapse that you can view below! (Always keep your balloons on a separate layer from any puppies, it just makes the drawing easier.) If you want more coloring pages, including past Valentine ones, remember to scoot over to the Coloring Pages section to snag ’em!

Cold Weather Coloring!

It’s January of a new year, dang! While I was saving some various art files on my computer the other day, I accidentally put ‘2024’ in the file name instead of ‘2025’. If you’re old enough to remember writing checks, I used to do it then too! Either way, besides being a new year it has also been wintery where I live. So this month’s coloring pages have a cold weather theme, one you can enjoy without being outside in the cold!

The first coloring page has Fluff Pup reaching for her crochet hook to make a cozy scarf for Corgi Pup! Corgi Pup is sitting with such contained delight at this long scarf that’s wrapping around her. Is Fluff Pup finished with it or is she going to crochet it to be even longer?…

Fluff Pup has made quite a long scarf, which makes Corgi Pup so happy!

This month’s second coloring page has the rest of the pups out ice skating! Well, sorta. TeaCup Pup is having trouble keeping her balance on her ice skates. Scruffy Pup seems to be doing quite well gliding by on just her back legs while posing. Pug Pup is…eating ice cream in the background?!

TeaCup Pup isn’t sure how well her and ice skating will work out.

This month’s timelapse features Fluff Pup and Corgi Pup with that long crocheted scarf! I did some nudging to get the height I wanted between Corgi Pup and the tall stool that Fluff Pup sits on (see if you can spot it, it goes by fast!). Don’t forget to grab these coloring pages and stacks of others from the Coloring Pages section of the site!

Sleigh Bells Ring for Coloring!

The year is almost over! It’s almost Christmas! But didn’t you need to fit in a little more coloring this year? Don’t worry, because there’s two new Princess Pups coloring pages sliding your way!

First we have Fluff Pup, Corgi Pup, and Pug Pup out to do some caroling! I have to be completely honest and say that I’ve never participating in Christmas caroling. It looks like Pug Pup hasn’t either, since she’s focused on chewing on the sheet music instead of using it to sing!

Fluff Pup and Corgi Pup are caroling pretty well, Pug Pup not so much

The next coloring page features TeaCup Pup and Scruffy Pup on a sleigh ride, but Scruffy Pup is being the energetic sleigh puller! I really liked how this one turned out, especially since I kinda jumped in a different perspective compared to the initial sketch that I had for this in my sketchbook.

Scruffy Pup is the fastest sleigh-puller there is!

For those unaware, I have a Substack where I post various sketches, writings, and more! Kinda like this Note below, where it shows the original sketch idea and the direction I took when I hopped over to do it digitally! You can subscribe for these goodies over here.

I did some coloring pages idea doodles in my sketchbook and decided on using the sleigh idea in the corner. When I opened CSP, I changed my mind drastically for the actual image (mostly cuz I wanted a vertical page and not horizontal). This one’s better 🐶❤️

For this month’s Timelapse, here’s the multi-layered approach that I took for the sleigh ride coloring page! Remember that you can grab these new coloring pages and a bunch of other ones on the coloring pages section!
